he and himself

he himself bore our sin.

I found this sentence on the internet and wonder if this is a correct sentence?

Why he himself and not just he in the sentence to make it simple?

Thanks!

These are both correct (apart from spelling of "committed"). The first word order is more ordinary or everyday English, while the second feels slightly more stylised or literary (but not excessively so).
