Hebrews 10
10
1For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near. 2Or else wouldn’t they have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins? 3But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins. 4For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. 5Therefore when he comes into the world, he says,
“You didn’t desire sacrifice and offering,
but you prepared a body for me.
6You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.
7Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me)
to do your will, O God.’”#Psalms 40:6-8
8Previously saying, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn’t desire, neither had pleasure in them” (those which are offered according to the law), 9then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your 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.
11Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins, 12but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God, 13from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet. 14For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. 15The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,
16“This is the covenant that I will make with them
after those days,” says the Lord,
“I will put my laws on their heart,
I will also write them on their mind;”#Jeremiah 31:33
then he says,
17“I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.”#Jeremiah 31:34
18Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh, 21and having a great priest over God’s house, 22let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our body washed with pure water, 23let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.
24Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, 25not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
26For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins, 27but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries. 28A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses. 29How much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy of who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30For we know him who said, “Vengeance belongs to me. I will repay,” says the Lord.#Deuteronomy 32:35 Again, “The Lord will judge his people.”#Deuteronomy 32:36; Psalms 135:14 31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: 33partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions, and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so. 34For you both had compassion on me in my chains and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens. 35Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward. 36For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
37“In a very little while,
he who comes will come and will not wait.
38But the righteous one will live by faith.
If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.”#Habakkuk 2:3-4
39But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.

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.
