Hebrews 10:2

Otherwise, would these zevakhim not have stopped being offered, because the worshipers, having experienced tohorah (purification, cleansing) even once, would no longer have had consciousness of averos?

Orthodox Jewish Bible

In The King James Version

For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

3But by those zevakhim there is a zikaron (remembrance) and a reminder of averos year after year.
