Ezekiel 43:22
43:22 “On the second day, you will offer a male goat without blemish for a sin offering. They will purify the altar just as they purified it with the bull.
Ezekiel 43:26
43:26 For seven days they will make atonement for the altar and cleanse it, so they will consecrate it.
Leviticus 16:16
16:16 So
he is to make atonement for the holy place from the impurities of the Israelites and from their transgressions with regard to all their sins,
and thus he is to do for the Meeting Tent which resides with them in the midst of their impurities.
Leviticus 16:33
16:33 and he is to purify
the Most Holy Place,
he is to purify the Meeting Tent and the altar,
and he is to make atonement for
the priests and for all the people of the assembly.
Hebrews 9:22-25
9:22 Indeed according to the law almost everything was purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
9:23 So it was necessary for the sketches
of the things in heaven to be purified with these sacrifices,
but the heavenly things themselves required
better sacrifices than these.
9:24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands – the representation
of the true sanctuary
– but into heaven itself, and he appears now in God’s presence for us.
9:25 And he did not enter to offer
himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the sanctuary year after year with blood that is not his own,
Hebrews 10:3-4
10:3 But in those sacrifices
there is a reminder of sins year after year.
10:4 For the blood of bulls and goats cannot take away sins.
Hebrews 10:19-22
Drawing Near to God in Enduring Faith
10:19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,
10:20 by the fresh and living way that he inaugurated for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh,
10:21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
10:22 let us draw near with a sincere heart in the assurance that faith brings, because we have had our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed in pure water.
