He has been set apart from sinners and has been given the highest place of honor in heaven.[a] 27 Unlike those other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices every day. They did this for their own sins first and then for the sins of the people. But Jesus did this once for all when he offered himself as the sacrifice for the people’s sins.

Cleansing for the High Priest
3 Then the angel showed me Jeshua[a] the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord. The Accuser, Satan,[b] was there at the angel’s right hand, making accusations against Jeshua. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, “I, the Lord, reject your accusations, Satan. Yes, the Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebukes you. This man is like a burning stick that has been snatched from the fire.”
3 Jeshua’s clothing was filthy as he stood there before the angel. 4 So the angel said to the others standing there, “Take off his filthy clothes.” And turning to Jeshua he said, “See, I have taken away your sins, and now I am giving you these fine new clothes.”
5 Then I said, “They should also place a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean priestly turban on his head and dressed him in new clothes while the angel of the Lord stood by.

stand and weep between the entry room to the Temple and the altar.

‘Has the God of Israel left them?’”

Wail, you who serve before the altar!
Come, spend the night in burlap,

For there is no grain or wine
to offer at the Temple of your God.
14 Announce a time of fasting;

Bring the leaders
and all the people of the land
into the Temple of the Lord your God,
and cry out to him there.

and all who live in the land(E)
to the house of the Lord your God,
and cry out(F) to the Lord.(G)
