Hebrews 10:17 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 10:17

And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
] (See Gill on Hebrews 8:10). The words are cited to a different purpose here than there; the principal thing for which they are cited here, is to observe God's promise of non-remembrance of sin; which is no other than remission of sin, and which is not consistent with legal sacrifices, in which there is a remembrance of sin every year, ( Hebrews 10:3 ) and consequently, since this new covenant has taken place, legal sacrifices must be abolished, as the apostle argues in the next verse. In one of Beza's copies are inserted, at the, beginning of this verse, these words, "then he said", which seem necessary to answer to the last clause of ( Hebrews 10:15 ) .

Hebrews 10:17 In-Context

15 And the Ruach HaKodesh too bears witness to us; for after saying,

16 " 'This is the covenant which I will make with them after those days,' says ADONAI: 'I will put my Torah on their hearts, and write it on their minds . . . ,' "

17 he then adds, " 'And their sins and their wickednesses I will remember no more.' "

18 Now where there is forgiveness for these, an offering for sins is no longer needed.

19 So, brothers, we have confidence to use the way into the Holiest Place opened by the blood of Yeshua.
