³ Therefore David said to the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you? And with what shall I make atonement, that you may bless ^(A)the inheritance of the Lord?”

¹⁹ I am among the peaceable and faithful in Israel. You seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why would you swallow up ^(A)the inheritance of the Lord?”

²² And according to the law almost all things are ^[a]purified with blood, and ^(A)without shedding of blood there is no ^[b]remission.

¹⁹ Now therefore, please, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant: If the Lord has ^(A)stirred you up against me, let Him accept an offering. But if it is the children of men, may they be cursed before the Lord, ^(B)for they have driven me out this day from sharing in the ^(C)inheritance of the Lord, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods.’

⁴ For ^(A)it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.

Christ’s Death Fulfills God’s Will^(B)

⁵ Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:

⁸ Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law), ⁹ then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, ^[a]O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. ^10 (D)By that will we have been ^[b]sanctified ^(E)through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Christ’s Death Perfects the Sanctified

¹¹ And every priest stands ^(F)ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. ^12 (G)But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down ^(H)at the right hand of God,

²⁵ If one man sins against another, ^(A)God^[a] will judge him. But if a man ^(B)sins against the Lord, who will intercede for him?” Nevertheless they did not heed the voice of their father, ^(C)because the Lord desired to kill them.

^4 (A)Then he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be ^(B)accepted on his behalf ^(C)to make atonement for him.

³⁰ Now it came to pass on the next day that Moses said to the people, ^(A)“You have committed a great sin. So now I will go up to the Lord; ^(B)perhaps I can ^(C)make atonement for your sin.”
