Leviticus chapter 16 deals with the atonement day ceremony, in which the high priest made a series of offerings and purifications to atone for the sins of the people of Israel. The selected verses are:
Exodus 30:10: "And once a year, Aaron will do atonement on the ends of the altar; with the blood of the sin of atonement sin, he will do atonement over him once a year for all your generations. Most Holy to the Lord. " This verse mentions the sin offering of atonement, which was used on the day of atonement in Leviticus 16.
Hebrews 9:7: "But only the high priest enters the second tabernacle once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people who ignored him." This verse refers to the role of the high priest on the day of atonement and the need for blood to atone for sins.
Leviticus 4:6: "And he will do atonement for the sin he has committed about the sanctuary, and he will do atonement because of the impurity of the children of Israel, and because of his transgressions, and for all his sins; by the congregation tent that dwells with them among their impurities. " This verse talks about the need for atonement for the sins of the people and the tent of the congregation.
Hebrews 9:14: "The more the blood of Christ, who, by the eternal spirit, offered Himself without a macula to God, will our conscience of the dead works purify to serve the living God?" This verse mentions purification by the blood of Christ, which fulfills the role of atonement offers in the Old Testament.
Leviticus 16:34: "And this will be for you a perpetual status, to do atonement for the children of Israel of all their transgressions once a year." This verse reinforces the importance of the atonement day ceremony as an annual practice to atone for the sins of the people.
