Sacrifices » Could not take away sin
The which is a similitude for the present season, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot, as to the conscience, perfect him that rendereth the divine service: -
Sacrifice and meal-offering, thou didst not delight in, Ears, didst thou pierce for me, - Ascending-sacrifice and sin-bearer, thou didst not ask:
For the law, having in a shadow of the destined good things, not the very image of the things, they can never, with the same sacrifices which year by year they offer evermore, make them who approach, perfect; Else would they not, in that case, have ceased being offered, by reason of those rendering the divine service having no further conscience at all of sins, being once for all purified?

For it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to be taking away sins. Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith: Sacrifice and offering, thou willedst not, but, a body, hast thou fitted for me, - In whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sins, thou didst not delight: Then, said I - Lo! I am come, - in the heading of the scroll, it is written concerning me, - to do, O God, thy will. Higher up, saying - Sacrifices, and offerings, and whole-burnt-offerings, and sacrifices for sins, thou willedst not, neither delightedst in, - the which, according to the law, are offered, Then, hath he said - Lo! I am come! to do, thy will: - he taketh away the first, that, the second, he may establish: By which will, we have been made holy, through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all. And, every priest, indeed, standeth daily publicly ministering, and the same sacrifices ofttimes offering, the which never can clear away sins;
