hebrews 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

hebrews 10:6 In whole burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin Thou hast taken no pleasure.

6. burnt offerings--Greek, "whole burnt offerings."
thou hast had no pleasure--as if these could in themselves atone for sin: God had pleasure in (Greek, "approved," or "was well pleased with") them, in so far as they were an act of obedience to His positive command under the Old Testament, but not as having an intrinsic efficacy such as Christ's sacrifice had. Contrast Mt 3:17.

hebrews 10:6 In whole burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin Thou hast taken no pleasure.
