Daniel 9:24 · World English Bible
Seventy weeks are decreed on your people and on your holy city, to finish disobedience, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.
Every result here is God's own doing, decreed over His people and their city. He ends their long rebellion, does away with their sins, and covers their guilt.

Every result here is God's own doing, decreed over His people and their city. He ends their long rebellion, does away with their sins, and covers their guilt. The yearly atonement blood, carried behind the curtain, held for a year and came due again; Christ's death ends that repeat.
Sealing vision and prophecy means God brings His foretold word to its goal rather than leaving it open. Anointing the most holy sets apart the place where God meets His people. The everlasting righteousness He brings in is a standing He supplies and they receive by trusting Him.

What are you still trying to cover that was already covered once and for all?
The day comes every year because the covering it provides runs out, and the people return to the same altar with the same need. A yearly remedy admits it is not final.
Krishna tells Arjuna to let go of all other duties and take refuge in him, and promises to do the freeing himself. The freeing is his work, not the work of the one freed.
The debt the lover owes is beyond paying, so the Beloved settles it and calls the lover clean. What is given is a standing, not a wage.
