son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a
mountain I will show you.”
3Early the next morning
Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and
his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out
for the place God had told him about.
4On the third day Abraham
looked up and saw the place in the distance.
5He said to his servants,
“Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship
and then we will come back to you.”
6Abraham took the wood for
the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the
fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together,
7Isaac spoke up and said to
his father Abraham, “Father?” “Yes, my son?” Abraham replied. “The fire and
wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
8Abraham answered, “God
himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of
them went on together.
9When they reached the place
God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on
it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
10Then he reached out his
hand and took the knife to slay his son.
11But the angel of the Lord
called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied.
12“Do not lay a hand on the
boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God,
because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.”

in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram
and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.

place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of
the Lord it will be provided.”

called to Abraham from heaven a second time
16and said, “I swear by
myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not
withheld your son, your only son,
17I will surely bless you and
make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on
the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their

he is to take two male goats for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.

for his own sin offering to make atonement for himself and his household.
7Then he is to take the two
goats and present them before the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
8He is to cast lots for the
two goats—one lot for the Lord and the other for the scapegoat.
9Aaron shall bring the goat
whose lot falls to the Lord and sacrifice it for a sin offering.
10But the goat chosen by lot
as the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the Lord to be used for making
atonement by sending it into the wilderness as a scapegoat.

bull’s blood and with his finger sprinkle it on the front of the atonement
cover; then he shall sprinkle some of it with his finger seven times before the
atonement cover.
15“He shall then slaughter
the goat for the sin offering for the people and take its blood behind the curtain
and do with it as he did with the bull’s blood: He shall sprinkle it on the

the altar that is before the Lord and make atonement for it. He shall take some
of the bull’s blood and some of the goat’s blood and put it on all the horns of
the altar.
19He shall sprinkle some of
the blood on it with his finger seven times to cleanse it and to consecrate it
from the uncleanness of the Israelites.
20“When Aaron has finished
making atonement for the Most Holy Place, the tent of meeting and the altar, he
shall bring forward the live goat.
21He is to lay both hands on
the head of the live goat and confess over it all the wickedness and rebellion
of the Israelites—all their sins—and put them on the goat’s head. He shall send
the goat away into the wilderness in the care of someone appointed for the
task.
22The goat will carry on
itself all their sins to a remote place; and the man shall release it in the
wilderness.
23“Then Aaron is to go into
the tent of meeting and take off the linen garments he put on before he entered
the Most Holy Place, and he is to leave them there.
24He shall bathe himself with
water in the sanctuary area and put on his regular garments. Then he shall come
out and sacrifice the burnt offering for himself and the burnt offering for the
people, to make atonement for himself and for the people.
25He shall also burn the fat
of the sin offering on the altar.

goat as a scapegoat must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water;
afterward he may come into the camp.

ordinance for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month you must deny
yourselves and not do any work—whether native-born or a foreigner residing
among you—
30because on this day
atonement will be made for you, to cleanse you. Then, before the Lord, you will
be clean from all your sins.

yourselves; it is a lasting ordinance.

out loud Hebrews 10:1-4 that says,

1The law is only a shadow of
the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason
it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make
perfect those who draw near to worship.

have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once
for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins.

annual reminder of sins.

blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

Aaron did what the
Lord commanded through Moses.
----------------------------------------
Hebrews 7:14-28
14For it is clear that our
Lord descended from
15And what we have said is
even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears,
16one who
has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on
the basis of the power of an indestructible life.
17For it is declared:
“You are a priest forever,
in the order of
Melchizedek.”
18The former regulation is
set aside because it was weak and useless
19(for the law made nothing
perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
20And it was not without an
oath! Others became priests without any oath,
21but he became a priest with
an oath when God said to him:
“The Lord has sworn
and will not
change his mind:
‘You are a priest forever.’”
22Because of this oath, Jesus
has become the guarantor of a better covenant.
23Now there have been many of
those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office;
24but because Jesus lives
forever, he has a permanent priesthood.
25Therefore he is able to
save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to
intercede for them.
26Such a high priest truly
meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners,
exalted above the heavens.
27Unlike the other high
priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own
sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once
for all when he offered himself.

Isaiah 52:13-53:12
52:13See, my servant will act
wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
52:14Just as there were many
who were appalled at him—his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any
human being and his form marred beyond human likeness—
52:15so he will sprinkle many
nations, and kings will shut their mouths because of him. For what they were
not told, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand.
53:1Who has believed our
message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
53:2He grew up before him
like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or
majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire
him.
53:3He was despised and
rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from
whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
53:4Surely he took up our
pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by
him, and afflicted.
53:5But he was pierced for
our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that
brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.
53:6We all, like sheep, have
gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
53:7He was oppressed and
afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the
slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his
mouth.
53:8By oppression and
judgment he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For he was cut
off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was
punished.
53:9He was assigned a grave
with the wicked, and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.
53:10Yet it was the Lord’s
will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes his life
an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the
will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.
53:11After he has suffered,
he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous
servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.
53:12Therefore I will give
him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong,
because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the
transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made
intercession for the transgressors.
