Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
ἀνώτερον λέγων
earlier saying
Here the author uses When he says above to requote a part of the quotation that he introduced earlier (See: 10:5–7). The word above refers to the first part or parts of the quotation. If your readers would misunderstand that the author is requoting the previous quotation to focus on a specific portion of it, you could use a word or phrase that introduces something that has already been quoted. Alternate translation: “As he says at the beginning of the quotation”
θυσίας, καὶ προσφορὰς & οὐκ ἠθέλησας
sacrifices and offerings & neither ˱you˲_wanted
These are the same words that the author of the quotation used in 10:5, although the author of Hebrews has mixed them together with words from 10:6. Also, he has expressed Sacrifices and offerings in plural form instead of singular form. Allowing for these differences, translate these words the same way you did in 10:5.
ὁλοκαυτώματα, καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας & οὐδὲ εὐδόκησας
whole_burnt_offerings and_‹offerings› for sin & nor ˱you˲_took_pleasure
These are the same words that the author of the quotation used in 10:6, although the author of Hebrews has put them together with words from 10:5. Translate these words the same way you did in 10:6.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
προσφέρονται
/are_being/_offered
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The author uses the passive form here to focus on the sacrifices that are offered rather than on the people doing the offering. If you must state who did the action, the author implies that the Israelites or the priests did it. Alternate translation: “the people offer” or “the priests offer”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
κατὰ νόμον
according_to law
Here, the phrase according to the law indicates that the “offerings” are done the way that God commanded in the law. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that indicates that the law contains the commands for these “offerings.” Alternate translation: “as God commanded in the law” or “as the law requires”
10:8-10 The author follows the flow of thought in the psalm with great precision.
• First, Christ said, “You did not want animal sacrifices . . .”: The author of Hebrews understands this as God’s rejection of the old system of sacrifices.
• Then he said, “Look, I have come to do your will”: The author of Hebrews takes this to be Christ’s willingness to be the supreme sacrifice for sins.
• The author of Hebrews concludes that because of Christ’s sacrifice, God has canceled the first covenant—God’s will, as shown by Ps 40:6-8, was that Christ would die for sins as a sacrifice, and this only had to be done once for all time.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
