For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

Study Note
The blunt declaration that 'it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins' is Hebrews' most concentrated statement of the Levitical system's inherent insufficiency — not its failure, but its designed-in provisionality. The Greek 'adunaton' (impossible) is among the strongest available terms, ruling out any scenario in which animal sacrifice could effect genuine moral cleansing. The argument is eschatological: the repeated nature of Levitical sacrifice (10:1-3) is itself evidence that it could not finally deal with sin's guilt. This verse became a cornerstone of Protestant arguments against any sacrificial understanding of the Mass, while Catholic interpreters emphasized that Hebrews points to the one unrepeatable sacrifice of Calvary, not a new sacrifice in the Eucharist.
