³⁴ “This is to be a lasting ordinance^(A) for you: Atonement is to be made once a year^(B) for all the sins of the Israelites.”

And it was done, as the Lord commanded Moses.

⁷ But only the high priest entered^(A) the inner room,^(B) and that only once a year,^(C) and never without blood,^(D) which he offered for himself^(E) and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.^(F)

²⁵ Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place^(A) every year with blood that is not his own.^(B)

¹⁰ Once a year^(A) Aaron shall make atonement^(B) on its horns. This annual atonement must be made with the blood of the atoning sin offering^[a](C) for the generations to come.^(D) It is most holy to the Lord.”

¹⁴ For by one sacrifice he has made perfect^(A) forever those who are being made holy.^(B)

³ But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins.^(A)

The Day of Atonement^(A)

⁷ “‘On the tenth day of this seventh month hold a sacred assembly. You must deny yourselves^[a](B) and do no work.^(C)

³¹ You shall do no work at all. This is to be a lasting ordinance^(A) for the generations to come, wherever you live.
