In this instruction concerning the consecration of the priests, distinguished the various parts of the ceremony: the cleansing, the robbing, the anointing, and the sacrifices. How does our High Priest stand out in marked contrast to Aaron? Cf. Heb 7:26-28. Answer: Our High Priest Jesus Christ is far above and beyond that of Aaron and the other priests. Each of them continued to sin, and therefore had to seek their own atonement before they could seek atonement for the people. Christ was sinless, thereby giving us eternal forgiveness.
Verses 38-46. What was the significance of the daily burnt offering morning and evening? What are the counterparts to these activities that are possible for us to share in? Answer: The morning and evening sacrifices were to atone for their sins in a virtually continual manner. Christ died for sins of all time and only had to die once to cover all of the sins of those who believe. During this time however, until Christ’s death on the cross the people had to seek continual atonement.
