Then he said to Aaron, "Go to the altar and offer the sin offering and the burnt offering to take away your sins and the sins of the people. Present this offering to take away the sins of the people, just as the LORD commanded."

Aaron went to the altar and killed the young bull which was for his own sin offering.

If it is the High Priest who sins and so brings guilt on the people, he shall present a young bull without any defects and sacrifice it to the LORD for his sin.

Then Moses brought the young bull for the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.

"This is what you are to do to Aaron and his sons to dedicate them as priests in my service. Take one young bull and two rams without any defects.

Christ was without sin, but for our sake God made him share our sin in order that in union with him we might share the righteousness of God.

And because he is himself weak, he must offer sacrifices not only for the sins of the people but also for his own sins.

He is not like other high priests; he does not need to offer sacrifices every day for his own sins first and then for the sins of the people. He offered one sacrifice, once and for all, when he offered himself.

Because Jesus Christ did what God wanted him to do, we are all purified from sin by the offering that he made of his own body once and for all.

Christ, however, offered one sacrifice for sins, an offering that is effective forever, and then he sat down at the right side of God.

With one sacrifice, then, he has made perfect forever those who are purified from sin.

Next, Moses brought the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.
