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 the coming good things, not the image itself of the things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually yearly, perfect those who approach. 2Since, would they not indeed have ceased being offered, on account of the worshippers once purged having no longer any conscience of sins? 3But in these there is a calling to mind of sins yearly. 4For blood of bulls and goats is incapable of taking away sins. 5Wherefore coming into the world he says, Sacrifice and offering thou willedst not; but thou hast prepared me a body. 6Thou tookest no pleasure in burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin.
7Then I said, Lo, I come (in the roll of the book it is written of me) to do, O God, thy will. 8Above, saying Sacrifices and offerings and burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou willedst not, neither tookest pleasure in (which are offered according to the law); 9then he said, Lo, I come to do thy will. He takes away the first that he may establish the second; 10by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11And every priest stands daily ministering, and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12But he, having offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down in perpetuity at the right hand of God, 13waiting from henceforth until his enemies be set for the footstool of his feet. 14For by one offering he has perfected in perpetuity the sanctified. 15And the Holy Spirit also bears us witness of it; for after what was said: 16This is the covenant which I will establish towards them after those days, saith the Lord: Giving my laws into their hearts, I will write them also in their understandings; 17and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will never remember any more. 18But where there is remission of these, there is no longer a sacrifice for sin.
19Having therefore, brethren, boldness for entering into the holy of holies by the blood of Jesus, 20the new and living way which he has dedicated for us through the veil, that is, his flesh, 21and having a great priest over the house of God, 22let us approach with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, sprinkled as to our hearts from a wicked conscience, and washed as to our body with pure water. 23Let us hold fast the confession of the hope unwavering, (for he is faithful who has promised;) 24and let us consider one another for provoking to love and good works; 25not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the custom is with some; but encouraging one another, and by so much the more as ye see the day drawing near. 26For where we sin wilfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains any sacrifice for sins, 27but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and heat of fire about to devour the adversaries. 28Any one that has disregarded Moses' law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses: 29of how much worse punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and esteemed the blood of the covenant, whereby he has been sanctified, common, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30For we know him that said, To me belongs vengeance; I will recompense, saith the Lord: and again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31It is a fearful thing falling into the hands of the living God. 32But call to mind the earlier days in which, having been enlightened, ye endured much conflict of sufferings; 33on the one hand, when ye were made a spectacle both in reproaches and afflictions; and on the other, when ye became partakers with those who were passing through them. 34For ye both sympathised with prisoners and accepted with joy the plunder of your goods, knowing that ye have for yourselves a better substance, and an abiding one. 35Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompense. 36For ye have need of endurance in order that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise. 37For yet a very little while he that comes will come, and will not delay. 38But the just shall live by faith; and, if he draw back, my soul does not take pleasure in him. 39But we are not drawers back to perdition, but of faith to saving the soul.
