But into the second only the high priest goes, and he but once a year, and not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.

Nor was it that he should offer himself again and again, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood not his own.

For since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices which are continually offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near.

But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year after year.
