¹⁶ So he shall ^(A)make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, for all their sins; and so he shall do for the tabernacle of meeting which remains among them in the midst of their uncleanness.

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.

Greatness of Christ’s Sacrifice

²³ Therefore it was necessary that ^(B)the copies of the things in the heavens should be ^[c]purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

Keeping the Feasts^(A)

¹⁸ ‘Thus says the Lord God: “In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall take a young bull without blemish and ^(B)cleanse the sanctuary. ^19 (C)The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the doorposts of the ^[a]temple, on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the gateposts of the gate of the inner court.

¹⁸ And he shall go out to the altar that is before the Lord, and make atonement for ^(A)it, and shall take some of the blood of the bull and some of the blood of the goat, and put it on the horns of the altar all around.

³⁶ And you ^(A)shall offer a bull every day as a sin offering for atonement. ^(B)You shall cleanse the altar when you make atonement for it, and you shall anoint it to sanctify it. ³⁷ Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and sanctify it. And the altar shall be most holy. ^(C)Whatever touches the altar must be holy.

¹⁵ and Moses killed it. ^(A)Then he took the blood, and put some on the horns of the altar all around with his finger, and purified the altar. And he poured the blood at the base of the altar, and consecrated it, to make ^[a]atonement for it.

³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, ^(A)I will come again and receive you to Myself; that ^(B)where I am, there you may be also.
