Because the worshipers, once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins. 5 Therefore, when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you have prepared for me: 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you had no pleasure. 7 Then I said, Behold, I have come (in the volume of the book it is written of me) to do your will, O God. 8 Previously saying, Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin you did not desire, nor had pleasure in them (which are offered according to the law), 9 Then he said, Behold, I have come to do your will, O God.
