¹⁸ `Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In the first `month', in the first of the month, thou dost take a bullock, a son of the herd, a perfect one, and hast cleansed the sanctuary:

¹⁶ and he hath made atonement for the sanctuary because of the uncleanness of the sons of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins; and so he doth for the tent of meeting which is tabernacling with them in the midst of their uncleannesses.

¹⁴ how much more shall the blood of the Christ (who through the age-during Spirit did offer himself unblemished to God) purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

²² And on the second day thou dost bring near a kid of the goats, a perfect one, for a sin-offering, and they have cleansed the altar, as they cleansed `it' for the bullock.

²⁰ nothing in which `is' blemish do ye bring near, for it is not for a pleasing thing for you.

³³ and he hath made atonement `for' the holy sanctuary; and `for' the tent of meeting, even `for' the altar he doth make atonement; yea, for the priests, and for all the people of the assembly he maketh atonement.

² `This month `is' to you the chief of months -- it `is' the first to you of the months of the year;

²⁶ Seven days they purify the altar, and have cleansed it, and filled their hand.

¹⁹ but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted -- Christ's --

¹⁹ Having, therefore, brethren, boldness for the entrance into the holy places, in the blood of Jesus,

²⁰ which way he did initiate for us -- new and living, through the vail, that is, his flesh --

²¹ and a high priest over the house of God,

²² may we draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having the hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having the body bathed with pure water;

³ but in those `sacrifices' is a remembrance of sins every year,

⁴ for it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

²² and with blood almost all things are purified according to the law, and apart from blood-shedding forgiveness doth not come.

²³ `It is' necessary, therefore, the pattern indeed of the things in the heavens to be purified with these, and the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these;

²⁴ for not into holy places made with hands did the Christ enter -- figures of the true -- but into the heaven itself, now to be manifested in the presence of God for us;

²⁵ nor that he may many times offer himself, even as the chief priest doth enter into the holy places every year with blood of others;

²⁶ For such a chief priest did become us -- kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens,

³³ but seek ye first the reign of God and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you.

¹¹ `And in the beginnings of your months ye bring near a burnt-offering to Jehovah: two bullocks, sons of the herd, and one ram, seven lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones;

¹² and three-tenth deals of flour, a present, mixed with oil, for the one bullock, and two-tenth deals of flour, a present, mixed with oil, for the one ram;

¹³ and a several tenth deal of flour, a present, mixed with oil, for the one lamb; a burnt-offering, a sweet fragrance, a fire-offering to Jehovah;

¹⁴ and their libations are a half of the hin to a bullock, and a third of the hin to a ram, and a fourth of the hin to a lamb, of wine; this `is' the burnt-offering of every month for the months of the year;

¹⁵ and one kid of the goats for a sin-offering to Jehovah; besides the continual burnt-offering it is prepared, and its libation.
