10:8 sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings. These terms sum up the whole Levitical sacrificial system. Over against all this (called “the first” in v. 9) Christ has another sacrifice (“the second”). Although instituted by God in the Law (2:2; 8:9; 12:18–21, 25), the Levitical system was not the means willed by God to remove His people’s sin permanently.
