'Sacrifices' in the Bible
For every high priest taken from men is appointed in service to God for the people, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
He doesn’t need to offer sacrifices every day, as high priests do—first for their own sins, then for those of the people. He did this once for all when He offered Himself.
For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; therefore it was necessary for this priest also to have something to offer.
This is a symbol for the present time, during which gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the worshiper’s conscience.
Therefore it was necessary for the copies of the things in the heavens to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves to be purified with better sacrifices than these.
Since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come, and not the actual form of those realities, it can never perfect the worshipers by the same sacrifices they continually offer year after year.
But in the sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year.
After He says above, You did not want or delight in sacrifices and offerings, whole burnt offerings and sin offerings (which are offered according to the law),
Every priest stands day after day ministering and offering the same sacrifices time after time, which can never take away sins.
Don’t neglect to do what is good and to share, for God is pleased with such sacrifices.
