Yehudim In Moshiach 10:1-8 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. For 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).

2. Otherwise, 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?

3. But by those zevakhim there is a zikaron (remembrance) and a reminder of averos year after year.

4. For it is impossible for the dahm of parim (young bulls) and se'irim (goats) to take away chatta'im (sins).

5. Therefore, when he comes into the Olam Hazeh, he says "ZEVACH UMINCHAH LO CHAFATZTA ("sacrifice and offering" Ps 40:7 (6) You did not desire but a body you prepared for me; (Ps 39:7 TARGUM HA-SHIVIM)

6. OLAH V'CHATA'AH LO SH'ALTA ("Burnt offering and sin offering you have not desired")

7. Then I said, 'Look, here I am, I have come --it is written about me in the megillah [scroll') LA'ASOT RETZONECHAH ELOHAI CHAFATZTI ("I desire to do your will, O G-d.")

8. When 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
