• Lev 1:1-9 : 1 And the voice of the Lord came to Moses out of the Tent of meeting, saying, 2 Give these orders to the children of Israel: When anyone of you makes an offering to the Lord, you are to take it from the cattle, from the herd or from the flock. 3 If the offering is a burned offering of the herd, let him give a male without a mark: he is to give it at the door of the Tent of meeting so that he may be pleasing to the Lord. 4 And he is to put his hand on the head of the burned offering and it will be taken for him, to take away his sin. 5 And the ox is to be put to death before the Lord: then Aaron's sons, the priests, are to take the blood and put some of it on and round the altar which is at the door of the Tent of meeting. 6 And the burned offering is to be skinned and cut up into its parts. 7 And Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put fire on the altar and put the wood in order on the fire: 8 And Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put the parts, the head and the fat, in order on the wood which is on the fire on the altar: 9 But its inside parts and its legs are to be washed with water, and it will all be burned on the altar by the priest for a burned offering, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord. 10 And if his offering is of the flock, a burned offering of sheep or goats, let him give a male without a mark. 11 And he is to put it to death on the north side of the altar before the Lord: and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put some of the blood on and round the altar. 12 And the offering is to be cut into its parts, with its head and its fat; and the priest is to put them in order on the wood which is on the fire on the altar: 13 But the inside parts and the legs are to be washed with water; and the priest will make an offering of all of it, burning it on the altar: it is a burned offering, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.
• Lev 8:18-21 : 18 And he put the male sheep of the burned offering before the Lord, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head, 19 And he put it to death; and Moses put some of the blood on and round the altar. 20 And when the sheep had been cut into parts, the head and the parts and the fat were burned by Moses. 21 And the inside parts and the legs were washed with water and all the sheep was burned by Moses on the altar; it was a burned offering for a sweet smell: it was an offering made by fire to the Lord, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
• Lev 9:12-14 : 12 And he put to death the burned offering; and Aaron's sons gave him the blood and he put some of it on and round the altar; 13 And they gave him the parts of the burned offering, in their order, and the head, to be burned on the altar. 14 And the inside parts and the legs, when they had been washed with water, were burned on the burned offering on the altar.
• Heb 10:1-9 : 1 For the law, being only a poor copy of the future good things, and not the true image of those things, is never able to make the people who come to the altar every year with the same offerings completely clean. 2 For if this had been possible, would there not have been an end of those offerings, because the worshippers would have been made completely clean and would have been no longer conscious of sins? 3 But year by year there is a memory of sins in those offerings. 4 Because it is not possible for the blood of oxen and goats to take away sins. 5 So that when he comes into the world, he says, You had no desire for offerings, but you made a body ready for me; 6 You had no joy in burned offerings or in offerings for sin. 7 Then I said, See, I have come to do your pleasure, O God (as it is said of me in the roll of the book). 8 After saying, You had no desire for offerings, for burned offerings or offerings for sin (which are made by the law) and you had no pleasure in them, 9 Then he said, See, I have come to do your pleasure. He took away the old order, so that he might put the new order in its place. 10 By that pleasure we have been made holy, by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for ever. 11 And every priest takes his place at the altar day by day, doing what is necessary, and making again and again the same offerings which are never able to take away sins. 12 But when Jesus had made one offering for sins for ever, he took his place at the right hand of God; 13 And has been waiting there from that time, till all who are against him are made a foot-rest for his feet. 14 Because by one offering he has made complete for ever those who are made holy. 15 And the Holy Spirit is a witness for us: for after he had said, 16 This is the agreement which I will make with them after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws in their hearts, writing them in their minds; he said, 17 And I will keep no more memory of their sins and of their evil-doings. 18 Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no more offering for sin. 19 So then, my brothers, being able to go into the holy place without fear, because of the blood of Jesus, 20 By the new and living way which he made open for us through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 21 And having a great priest over the house of God, 22 Let us go in with true hearts, in certain faith, having our hearts made free from the sense of sin and our bodies washed with clean water:
