¹⁷ On the second day [you shall offer] twelve young bulls, two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year old without blemish;

³⁶ Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh. On the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh. It is a solemn assembly; you shall do no regular work.

¹³ In that he says, "A new covenant," he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away.

¹ Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

⁶ For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice; And the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

²² For I didn't speak to your fathers, nor command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:

²³ but this thing I commanded them, saying, Listen to my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people; and walk you in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.

¹¹ "What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?," says Yahweh. "I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, And the fat of fed animals. I don't delight in the blood of bulls, Or of lambs, Or of male goats.

³¹ It will please Yahweh better than an ox, Or a bull that has horns and hoofs.

¹⁶ For you don't delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure in burnt offering.

¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

⁸ I don't rebuke you for your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are continually before me.

⁹ I have no need for a bull from your stall, Nor male goats from your pens.

⁶ Sacrifice and offering you didn't desire. You have opened my ears: Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required.

²⁰ On the third day eleven bulls, two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year old without blemish;

²¹ and their meal-offering and their drink-offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance;

²² and one male goat for a sin-offering; besides the continual burnt offering, and the meal-offering of it, and the drink-offering of it.

²³ On the fourth day ten bulls, two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year old without blemish;

²⁴ their meal-offering and their drink-offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance;

²⁵ and one male goat for a sin-offering; besides the continual burnt offering, the meal-offering of it, and the drink-offering of it.

²⁶ On the fifth day nine bulls, two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year old without blemish;

²⁷ and their meal-offering and their drink-offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance;

²⁸ and one male goat for a sin-offering, besides the continual burnt offering, and the meal-offering of it, and the drink-offering of it.

²⁹ On the sixth day eight bulls, two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year old without blemish;

³⁰ and their meal-offering and their drink-offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance;

³¹ and one male goat for a sin-offering; besides the continual burnt offering, the meal-offering of it, and the drink-offerings of it.

³² On the seventh day seven bulls, two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year old without blemish;

³³ and their meal-offering and their drink-offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance;

³⁴ and one male goat for a sin-offering; besides the continual burnt offering, the meal-offering of it, and the drink-offering of it.

³⁵ On the eighth day you shall have a solemn assembly: you shall do no servile work;

³⁶ but you shall offer a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh: one bull, one ram, seven he-lambs a year old without blemish;

³⁷ their meal-offering and their drink-offerings for the bull, for the ram, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the ordinance:

³⁸ and one male goat for a sin-offering, besides the continual burnt offering, and the meal-offering of it, and the drink-offering of it.

³⁹ These you shall offer to Yahweh in your set feasts, besides your vows, and your freewill-offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for your meal-offerings, and for your drink-offerings, and for your peace-offerings.

⁴⁰ Moses told the children of Israel according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses.

¹³ and you shall offer a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh; thirteen young bulls, two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year old; they shall be without blemish;

³ After the second veil was the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,

⁴ having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

⁵ and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we can't now speak in detail.

⁶ Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services,

⁷ but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the errors of the people.

⁸ The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the way into the Holy Place wasn't yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing;

⁹ which is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshipper perfect;

¹⁰ being only (with meats and drinks and various washings) fleshly ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.

¹¹ But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

¹² nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.

¹³ For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh:

¹⁴ how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
