| Hebrews 9:7 | But into the second, the high priest alone, *once a year; not without blood, which he offereth for his own, and the people's ignorance: Exodus 30:10.; Leviticus 16:2. | Into the second part of the sanctuary, (that is, the holy of holies) no one entered but the high priest, and he but once a year, on the feast called of expiation, to make an aspersion of blood upon the ark and round about, which he offereth for his own and the people's ignorance, or ignorances, as in the Greek; that is, for all his and their sins. See Leviticus 10. (Witham) --- He offered the blood of a calf for his own sins and those of his family, and the blood of a goat for the sins of the people. (Leviticus xvi.) |
