Hebrews Chapter 10 Verse 4

Interpretation of Hebrews Chapter 10 Verse 4

Hebrews 10:4 is part of the New Testament of the Christian Bible. It is part of a larger passage in Hebrews 10 which is known as the Priestly Covenant. In this covenant, God makes a promise to the people of Israel through His priestly covenant. The passage states that it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. This was a frequent practice in the Old Testament, where sacrifices were made in order to atone for sin. However, the author of Hebrews states that this practice is not enough because it does not have the power to take away sins completely. Instead, the author of Hebrews claims that Jesus’ death on the cross provides a better and more effective way of dealing with sin. Through the death of Jesus, people can be forgiven of their sins and receive the full forgiveness of God.
