In burnt offerings
The term "burnt offerings" refers to sacrifices that were completely consumed by fire on the altar, symbolizing total dedication to God. The Greek word used here is "holokautōma," which conveys the idea of something wholly burnt. Historically, burnt offerings were a central part of the Old Testament sacrificial system, as seen in Leviticus. These offerings were meant to atone for sin and express devotion. However, the author of Hebrews emphasizes that these offerings, while commanded, were not the ultimate desire of God. This reflects a deeper spiritual truth that God desires obedience and a heart aligned with His will over ritualistic practices.

and sin offerings
"Sin offerings" were specific sacrifices made to atone for unintentional sins, as outlined in Leviticus 4. The Greek term "peri hamartias" indicates offerings made concerning sin. These offerings were a crucial part of the Mosaic Law, serving as a means for the Israelites to maintain a right relationship with God. However, the repetition of these sacrifices highlighted their inability to fully cleanse the conscience or provide permanent forgiveness. The author of Hebrews points to the insufficiency of these offerings, setting the stage for the introduction of Christ's perfect sacrifice.

You took no delight
The phrase "You took no delight" is a powerful statement about God's perspective on the sacrificial system. The Greek word "eudokeō" means to be pleased or to take pleasure in. This phrase echoes the sentiments found in the Old Testament, such as in Psalm 40:6 and Isaiah 1:11, where God expresses that He desires mercy, justice, and a contrite heart over mere ritual. The author of Hebrews is emphasizing that God's ultimate desire is not in the external act of sacrifice but in the internal transformation and genuine relationship with Him. This points to the fulfillment of the law through Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice was pleasing to God because it was the perfect and final atonement for sin.

(6) Burnt offerings.--Better, whole burnt offerings. These (which were the symbol of complete consecration) are not mentioned in this Epistle, except in this verse and Hebrews 10:8.

Thou hast had no pleasure.--Better (for conformity with the preceding clauses), Thou hadst no pleasure.
