10 For since the Law has only a shadow [just a pale representation] of the good things to come—not the very image of those things—it can never, by offering the same sacrifices continually year after year, make [a]perfect those who approach [its altars].

But [as it is] these [continual] sacrifices bring a fresh reminder of sins [to be atoned for] year after year,
