Hebrews 10:6 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

Burnt offerings, х holokautoomata (G3646)] - 'whole burnt offerings.'

Thou hast had no pleasure - God had pleasure in х eudokeesas (G2106), 'was well pleased with'] them, in so far as they were in obedience to his positive Old Testament command, but not as having intrinsic efficacy to atone for sin, such as Christ's sacrifice had. Contrast Matthew 3:17.
