Eileen,
Read on into chapter 10 i believe your answer is there below. Reading on into chapter 10 is the very same subject
as chapter 9. Ray has mentioned other chapter and verse divisions in another study which i cannot recall right now. 1-For the law, having in a shadow of the destined good things, not the very image of the things, they can
never, with the same sacrifices which year by year they offer evermore, make them who approach, perfect;
2-Else would they not, in that case, have ceased being offered, by reason of those rendering the divine service
having no further conscience at all of sins, being once for all purified?
3-But, in them, is a recalling to mind of sins, year by year,
4-For it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to be taking away sins.
5-Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith: Sacrifice and offering, thou willedst not, but, a body, hast thou fitted for me,
6-In whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sins, thou didst not delight:
7-Then, said I—Lo! I am come,—in the heading of the scroll, it is written concerning me,—to do, O God, thy will.
8-Higher up, saying—Sacrifices, and offerings, and whole-burnt-offerings, and sacrifices for sins, thou willedst not, neither
delightedst in,—the which, according to the law, are offered,
9-Then, hath he said—Lo! I am come! to do, thy will:—he taketh away the first, that, the second, he may establish:
10-By which will, we have been made holy, through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all. 11-And, every priest, indeed, standeth daily publicly ministering, and the same sacrifices ofttimes offering, the which
never can clear away sins;
12-But this priest, having offered one sacrifice for sins evermore, sat down on the right hand of God: The entire chapter 10 it appears is continuing to explain chapter 9.george.
