¹⁶ Then ^(A)the anointed priest shall bring some of the blood of the bull into the tent of meeting,

⁵ And the anointed priest ^(A)shall take some of the blood of the bull and bring it into the tent of meeting, ⁶ and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and ^(B)sprinkle part of the blood seven times before the Lord in front of the veil of the sanctuary. ⁷ And the priest ^(C)shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before the Lord that is in the tent of meeting, and ^(D)all the rest of the blood of the bull he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting. ⁸ And all the fat of the bull of the sin offering he shall remove from it, ^(E)the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails ^9 (F)and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins and the long lobe of the liver that he shall remove with the kidneys ¹⁰ (just as these are taken from the ox of the sacrifice of the peace offerings); and the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering. ¹¹ But ^(G)the skin of the bull and all its flesh, with its head, its legs, its entrails, and its dung— ¹² all the rest of the bull—he shall carry ^(H)outside the camp to a clean place, to the ash heap, and shall ^(I)burn it up on a fire of wood. On the ash heap it shall be burned up.

¹² he ^(A)entered ^(B)once for all into the holy places, not by means of ^(C)the blood of goats and calves but ^(D)by means of his own blood, ^(E)thus securing an eternal redemption. ¹³ For if ^(F)the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with ^(G)the ashes of a heifer, sanctify^[a] for the purification of the flesh, ¹⁴ how much more will ^(H)the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit ^(I)offered himself without blemish to God, ^(J)purify our^[b] conscience ^(K)from dead works ^(L)to serve the living God.
