So says the Lord Jehovah: On the first month, on the one of the month, you shall take a bull without blemish, a son of the herd, and cleanse the sanctuary.
And you shall give to the priests of the Levites (they who are from the seed of Zadok, who approach to Me) a statement of the Lord Jehovah, to minister to Me, a bull, a son of the herd, for a sin offering.
And you shall take of its blood and put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border round about. And you shall cleanse it and atone for it.
And on the second day you shall bring a buck of the goats without blemish for a sin offering. And they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.
So says the Lord Jehovah: The gate of the inner court that faces the east shall be shut the six days of work. But on the sabbath day it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.
And he shall atone for the sanctuary because of the pollutions of the sons of Israel, and because of their transgressions for all their sins. And so he shall do for the tabernacle of the congregation dwelling in the midst of their pollutions.
And he shall atone for the holy sanctuary, and for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar he shall atone; yes, for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation he shall atone.
For such a High Priest was fitting for us: holy, guileless, undefiled, and having been separated from sinners, and having become higher than the heavens;
by how much more the blood of Christ (who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God), will purify your conscience from dead works, to serve the living God!
