3But in these [there is] a calling to mind of sins yearly. 4For blood of bulls and goats [is] incapable of taking away sins. Wherefore coming into the world he says, Sacrifice and offering thou willedst not; but thou hast prepared me a body. 6Thou tookest no pleasure in burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin. 7Then I said, Lo, I come (in [the] roll of the book it is written of me) to do, O God, thy will.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5Wherefore - This word shows that the apostle means to sustain what he had said by a reference to the Old Testament itself. Nothing could be more opposite to the prevailing Jewish opinions about the efficacy of sacrifice, than what he had just said.
