The anointed priest must then take some of the bull’s blood and bring it into the tent of meeting.The priest is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the Lord in front of the veil of the sanctuary.The priest must apply some of the blood to the horns of the altar of fragrant incense that is before the Lord in the tent of meeting. He must pour out the rest of the bull’s blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering that is at the entrance to the tent of meeting.He is to remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering: the fat surrounding the entrails, all the fat that is on the entrails,and the two kidneys with the fat on them at the loins. He will also remove the fatty lobe of the liver with the kidneys,just as the fat is removed from the ox of the fellowship sacrifice. The priest is to burn them on the altar of burnt offering.But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, with its head and shanks, and its entrails and dung—all the rest of the bull— he must bring to a ceremonially clean place outside the camp to the ash heap, and must burn it on a wood fire. It is to be burned at the ash heap.
He entered the most holy place once for all, not by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a young cow, sprinkling those who are defiled, sanctify for the purification of the flesh,how much more will the blood of the Messiah, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works to serve the living God?
