Heb. 10:2-4. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. But in those (sacrifices there) a remembrance again (made) of sins every year. For (it is) not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

Blank Bible:

Hebrews 10:3. "But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year." See last v. p.p.5 p. 854 * 1,2,3. concerning the argument for the insufficiency of the ancient sacrifices from their being often offered]. (crossed out) The wise man argues the vanity of all earthly enjoyments, and that temporal food is not men's true good from that that the occasions for need of eating returns, satisfaction is not attained, his need and his appetite remains, the demands of nature are not answered so but that still it continues demanding so that after a man has repeated his eating from day to day many years yet he needs and his nature craves as much as when he first came into the world. Ecclesiastes 6:7 see also Ecclesiastes 1:5-9. All the labour of man is for his mouth yet the appetite or (as in the original) the soul is not filled, with the context. The argument is of the same sort with that which the apostle here makes use of to shew the vanity of the ancient sacrifices and their insufficiency to answer the end of a true atonement. That they did not satisfy because the demands of justice still (?) remained and its appetite returned as in the other case the demands of nature they were never able to make the comers thereto perfect. The occasions of offering them returned continually. And therefore if Solomon's argument is good, the apostle's is certainly good also.

Heb. 10:5
