6 Bible Verses about Atoning By Sacrifices

For every head priest is chosen from among men, and is appointed on behalf of people, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

And because of this he is obligated to offer [sacrifices] for his own sins also, as well as the people's sins.

He does not need to offer up [animal] sacrifices every day like those head priests did [Note: The head priest here is represented as being in charge of the daily sacrifices offered by the other priests], first for His own sins and then for the people's sins. For He did this once for all time when He offered up Himself [on the cross].

But [only] once a year the head priest goes alone into the inner room [i.e., Holy of Holies], and never without [animal] blood, which he offers [as a sacrifice] for himself and for the sins done in ignorance by the people.

For every priest stands and performs his service day after day, offering over and over the same sacrifices which can never take away sins.

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