Lev 16:3

16:3 Aaron was to offer a bull as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering for himself and his family, before offering a goat for the people (v. 5). By contrast, Jesus Christ, the Mediator of the eternal new covenant, was without sin and therefore offered sacrifice for His people only (Heb. 7:26, 27).
