¹² “Then the Levites are to lay their hands on the heads of the bulls,^(A) using one for a sin offering^(B) to the Lord and the other for a burnt offering,^(C) to make atonement^(D) for the Levites.

⁴ It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats^(A) to take away sins.^(B)

⁵ Therefore, when Christ came into the world,^(C) he said:

⁸ First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”^(G)—though they were offered in accordance with the law. ⁹ Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.”^(H) He sets aside the first to establish the second. ¹⁰ And by that will, we have been made holy^(I) through the sacrifice of the body^(J) of Jesus Christ once for all.^(K)

¹⁰ “Bring the bull to the front of the tent of meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on its head.^(A)

¹⁴ He then presented the bull^(A) for the sin offering,^(B) and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.^(C)

⁴ You are to lay your hand on the head^(A) of the burnt offering,^(B) and it will be accepted^(C) on your behalf to make atonement^(D) for you.

⁸ Have them take a young bull with its grain offering of the finest flour mixed with olive oil;^(A) then you are to take a second young bull for a sin offering.^[a](B)

²² In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood,^(A) and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.^(B)

¹⁶ “‘The priest is to present all these^(A) before the Lord^(B) and make the sin offering and the burnt offering.^(C)
