Hebrews 10
10
1For the Torah, als (since) it has only a shadow of the tovot ha'atidot (good things to come) and is not the etzem (actual) things, can never by the same yearly zevakhim (sacrifices), which they offer continually, make shleimut (whole, complete) those drawing kiruv (near).
2Otherwise, would these zevakhim not have stopped being offered, because the worshipers, having experienced tohorah (purification, cleansing) even once, would no longer have had consciousness of averos?
3But by those zevakhim there is a zikaron (remembrance) and a reminder of averos year after year.
4For it is impossible for the dahm of parim (young bulls) and se'irim (goats) to take away chatta'im (sins).
5Therefore, when he comes into the Olam Hazeh, he says ZEVACH UMINCHAH LO CHAFATZTA#10:5 Ps 40:6 [7] (sacrifice and offering You did not desire), but a body you prepared for me;#10:5 Ps 39:7 in the TARGUM HA-SHIVIM
6OLAH V'CHATA'AH LO SH'ALTA#10:6 Ps 40:6 (Burnt offering and sin offering you have not desired).
7Then I said, Look, here I am, I have come — it is written about me in the megillah [scroll] LA'ASOT RETZONECHAH ELOHAI CHAFATZTI#10:7 Ps 40:8 [9] (I desire to do your will, O G-d.)
8When he said above, “ZEVACH and MINCHAH and OLAH and CHATA'AH you have not desired, nor have you taken pleasure in them” — these are offered according to the Torah
9— Then he said, I have come LA'ASOT RETZONECHAH (to do your will.) He takes away HaRishonah#10:9 the way of the zevakhim of the kehunah of Levi in order to establish HaSheniyah.#10:9 the way of the zevach of the kehunah of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach
10And it is by the ratzon Hashem that we will have been set apart for kedushah through the korban NEFESH#10:10 Isa 53:10 cf. ASHAM KORBAN of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, once and for all.
11And every kohen stands daily at his avodas kodesh sherut ministering and offering again and again the same korbanot that can never take away chatta'im;
12But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, having offered up one korban for chatta'im for all time, YASHAV LIMIN HASHEM#10:12 Ps 110:1 (Sat down at the right hand of G-d),
13Waiting from that time onward until OYVAV (His enemies) be made “a footstool for his feet.”
14For by one korban he has perfected forever HaMekudashim (the ones being set apart as Kedoshim).
15And the Ruach Hakodesh also bears solemn edut to us; for after saying,
16ZOT HABRIT ASHER EKHROT (“This is the covenant that I will make) with them after those days,” says the L-rd, “I will put my Torah in the mind of them and I will inscribe it on their heart.”#10:16 Jer 31:33 He then says:
17LA'AVONAM U'LECHATTATAM LO EZKAR#10:17 Jer 31:34 (And their wickedness and their sin I will remember no more).
18Now where there is selicha (forgiveness) for these things, there is no longer a korban for chatta'im.
19Therefore, Achim b'Moshiach, having confidence for bevitachon (confidently) entering haSha'ar laHashem (gate to approach G-dʼs presence, access of the tzaddikim)#10:19 Ps 118:20 into the Kodesh HaKodashim by HaDahm HaYehoshua,
20Which he opened for us as a Derech Chadasha, a Derech Chayyah, through the parokhet, that is to say, the parokhet opened when was offered the basar of Moshiach.#10:20 Ps 16:9-10; Dan 9:26; Isa 53:5-12
21And als (since) we have a Kohen Gadol over the Beis Hashem,
22Let us approach and draw near to Hashem with a lev shalem, with full assurance and bitachon of Emunah, our levavot having been sprinkled clean (tehorim)#10:22 YAZZEH, “MOSHIACH WILL SPRINKLE,” Isa 52:15 from an evil matzpun (conscience) and our bodies plunged kluhr (pure) into a tevilah in a mikveh mayim.#10:22 Ezek 36:25-26
23Let us, without wavering, hold firmly to the hoda'ah of Tikveteinu, for Ne'eman is the One having given the havtachah (promise).
24And let us consider how to meorer (stimulate, motivate, shtarken) one another to ahavah and mitzvos,
25And let us not turn away and defect from our noiheg (habitually) conducted daily minyan, as some are doing; let us impart chizzuk (strengthening, encouragement) to one another, and by so much the more as you see the Yom#10:25 HaDin (Day of Judgment) approaching.
26For when we intentionally commit chet b'yad ramah#10:26 Num 15:30 (wilful sin with a high hand of defiance) after having received the full da'as of HaEmes, there remains no longer a korban for chattoteinu,
27But only a terrible expectation of Din and Mishpat and of a blazing EISH TZARECHA TOKHLEM#10:27 Isa 26:11 (Fire that will consume the enemies of Hashem).
28Anyone who was doiche (rejecting or setting aside) the Torah of Moshe Rabbeinu, upon the dvar of SHNI EDIM O AL PI SHLOSHA EDIM#10:28 Dt 19:15 (Testimony of two or three witnesses), dies without rachamim.
29By how much worse onesh (penalty) do you think the one will be considered worthy who trampled on the Zun fun der Oybershter and also treated as mechallel kodesh (profane) the Dahm HaBrit which set him apart mekudash and also committed Chillul Hashem gidduf against the Ruach Hakodesh of Hashemʼs chesed?
30For we have da'as of the One who said, LI NAKAM V'SHILEM#10:30 Dt 32:35 (Vengeance is mine and I will repay) and again YADIN HASHEM AMMO#10:30 Dt 32:36 (The L-rd will judge his people).
31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Elohim Chayyim.
32But have zikaron of the yamim mikedem (earlier days) in which, when you had received the Ohr Hashem, you endured a great tzoros, a great “Kristallnacht” of yissurim (suffering),
33sometimes being publicly abused with baleidikung (insult) and fargolgung (persecution) yourselves; other times being oppressed chavrusa partners with the ones so treated.
34For you showed Gemilut Chasadim for the Achim b'Moshiach in the beis hasohar and with simcha you accepted the pogrom-like confiscation of your property because you have da'as that you possess a better and more enduring yerushah (inheritance).
35Do not discard, then, your bitachon (confident trust) which has gadol sachar (great reward).
36You are nitzrach (needy) of the kind of savlanut (patience) that has endurance, in order that, having accomplished the ratzon Hashem, you will receive the havtachah (promise).
37For yet a little while and Hu HaBah#10:37 Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach YAVO LO YE'ACHER (He will come, he will not delay),
38V'TZADDIK VE'EMUNATO YICHEYEH#10:38 Hab 2:3-4 (And my tzaddik will live by Emunah). And, if he shrinks back as a shmad defector, LO RATZTAH NAFSHI BO (My soul has no pleasure in him).
39But we are not of those who shrink back as shmad defectors toward churban destruction, but we are of those with Emunah whose neshamah is preserved in Yeshu'at Eloheinu.

Hebrews 10
10
1For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. 2For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 4For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 5Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith,
Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not,
But a body hast thou prepared me:
6In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
7Then said I, Lo, I come
(In the volume of the book it is written of me,)
To do thy will, O God.
8Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; 9then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 14For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 15Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16This is the covenant that I will make with them
After those days, saith the Lord,
I will put my laws into their hearts,
And in their minds will I write them;
17And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
Draw Near in Faith
19Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 21and having an high priest over the house of God; 22let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
26For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 30For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions; 33partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used. 34For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. 35Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. 36For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
37For yet a little while,
And he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38Now the just shall live by faith:
But if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
