Hebrews 10:4
_ _ For, etc. — reason why, necessarily, there is a continually recurring “remembrance of sins” in the legal sacrifices (Hebrews 10:3). Typically, “the blood of bulls,” etc., sacrificed, had power; but it was only in virtue of the power of the one real antitypical sacrifice of Christ; they had no power in themselves; they were not the instrument of perfect vicarious atonement, but an exhibition of the need of it, suggesting to the faithful Israelite the sure hope of coming redemption, according to God’s promise.
_ _ take away — “take off.” The Greek, Hebrews 10:11, is stronger, explaining the weaker word here, “take away utterly.” The blood of beasts could not take away the sin of man. A MAN must do that (see on Hebrews 9:12-14). |
Hebrews 10:4
It is impossible the blood of goats should take away sins — Either the guilt or the power of them. |

Hebrews 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
Psalms 50:8-12 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, [to have been] continually before me. ... If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world [is] mine, and the fulness thereof.
Psalms 51:16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give [it]: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
Isaiah 1:11-15 To what purpose [is] the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. ... And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
Isaiah 66:3 He that killeth an ox [is as if] he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, [as if] he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, [as if he offered] swine's blood; he that burneth incense, [as if] he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.
Jeremiah 6:20 To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings [are] not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.

- take:
- There were essential defects in these sacrifices. 1st - They were not of the same nature with those who sinned. 2nd - They were not of sufficient value to make satisfaction for the affronts done to the justice and government of God. 3rd - The beasts offered up under the law could not consent to put themselves in the sinner's room and place. The atoning sacrifice must be one capable of consenting, and must voluntarily substitute himself in the sinner's stead: Christ did so.
