Hebrews 9:12

“Neither by the blood of goats and calves, etc..] With which the high priest entered into the holy place, within the vail, on the day of atonement, (<031614>Leviticus 16:14,15) for Christ was not an high priest of the order of Aaron, nor could the blood of these creatures take away sin, nor would God accept of such sacrifices any longer: but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place; which shows the truth of his human nature, and the virtue of its blood, as in union with his divine Person; by which he opened the way into the holiest of all, as the surety of his people, and gives them boldness and liberty to follow him there; he carried his blood not in a basin, as the high…”

“Neither--"Nor yet." by--"through"; as the means of His approach. goats . . . calves--not a bullock, such as the Levitical high priest offered for himself, and a goat for the people, on the day of atonement (Lev 16:6, Lev 16:15), year by year, whence the plural is used, goats . . . calves.

Unlike the sacrifices in the old covenant, which had to be made year after year (Heb 10:1), Jesus’ sacrificial death only had to be made once and was decisive in securing our redemption forever.”
