2 And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young Calf for a Sin-offering, and a Ram for a Burnt-offering, without Blemish, and offer them before the LORD.

3 And unto the Children of Ifrael thou shalt fpeak, faying, Take ye a Kid of the Goats for a Sin-offering; and a Calf, and a Lamb, both of the first Year, without Blemish, for a Burnt-offering;

4 Alfo a Bullock and a Ram for Peace-offerings, to facrifice before the LORD; and a Meat-offering mingled with Oyl for To-day the LORD will appear unto you.

5 And they brought that which Mofes commanded before the Tabernacle of the Congregation and all the Congregation drew near, and ftood before the LORD.

6 And Mofes faid, This is the Thing which the LORD commanded that ye fhould do: and the GLORY of the LORD fhall APPEAR unto you.

7 Who in the Days of his Flesh, when he had offered up Prayers and Suppications with ftrong crying and fave him from Death, and was heard, Tears, unto him that was able to in that he feared;

8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he OBEDIENCE by the Things which he suffered :

9 And being made perfect, he became the AUTHOR of ETERNAL SALVA TION unto all them that obey him;

10 Called of GOD an HIGH PRIEST

after the ORDER of MELCHISEDEC.

Her. vii 11 If therefore Perfection were by the Leitical Priesthood, (for under it the People received the Law) what further Need was there that another Prieft fhould rife after the Or der of Melchifedec, and not be cal led after the Order of Aaron

12 For the Priesthood being changed, there is made of neceffity a Change alfo of the Law.

13 For he of whom thefe Things are fpoken, pertaineth to another Trie, of which no Man gave At

14 For it is evident that OUR LORD

fprang out of Juda: of which Tribe Motes ipake nothing concerning Priesthood.

7 And Mofes faid unto Aaron, Go unto the Altar, and offer thy Sin-offering, and thy Burnt-offering, and make an ATONEMENT for thy felf and for the People : Is And it is yet far more evident: and offer the Offering of the for that after the Similitude of MelPeople, and make an Atone-chitedec there arifeth another Pricft,

Calf of the Sin-offering, which
was for himself.

9 And the Sons of Aaron
brought the Blood unto him:
and he dipt his Finger in the
Blood, and put it upon the
Horns of the Altar, and pour-
ed out the Blood at the Bot-
tom of the Altar.

10 But the Fat, and the Kidneys, and the Caul above the Liver of the Sin-offering he burnt upon the Altar; as the LORD commanded Mofes.

11 And the Flesh and the Hide he burnt with Fire without the Camp.

12 And he flew the Burntoffering; and Aaron's Sons prefented unto him the Blood which he fprinkled round about upon the Altar.

13 And they prefented the Burnt-offering unto him, with the Pieces thereof, and the Head and he burnt them upon the Altar.

14 And he did wash the Inwards and the Legs, and burnt them upon the Burntoffering on the Altar.

18 For there is verily a difannulling of the Commandment going before, for the WEAKNESS and Unprofitablenefs thereof.

19 For the LAW made nothing better HOPE did; by the which we PERFECT, but the bringing in of a DRAW NIGH unto GOD.

20 And in as much as not without an Oath he was made Prieft,

21 (For thofe Priefts were made without an Oath: but this with an

Oath, by him that faid unto him; The LORD fware, and will not repent, Thou art a PRIEST for ever after the ORDER of MELCHISEDEC)

22 By fo much was JESUS made a SURETY of a BETTER TESTAMENT.

23 And they truly were many Priefts, because they were not fuffered to continue by reafon of Death:

24 But this Man because he continueth EVER, hath an UNCHANGEABLE

PRIESTHOOD.

26 For fuch an HIGH-PRIEST became us, who is HOLY, HARMLESS, UNDEFILED, SEPARATE from SINNERS, and made HIGHER than the HEAVENS;

27 Who needeth not daily, as thofe High-priests, to offer up Sacrifice fift for his own Sins, and then for the People's: for this he did once, when he OFFERED up HIMSELF.

28 For the Law maketh Men Highpriests which have Infirmity; but the Word of the OATH which was fince the Law, maketh the Son, who is CONSECRATED for EVERMORE.

15 And he brought the Peoples Offering, and took the Goat which was the Sinoffering for the People, and flew it, and offered it for Sin, as the first.

16 And he brought the Burnt-offering, and offered it according to the Manner.

17 And he brought the Meat-offering, and took an Handful thereof, and burnt it upon the Altar, befide the Burntfacrifice of the Morning.

See Chap. xvi. where Heb. x. is referred to

18 He flew alfo the Bullock and the Ram, for a Sacrifice of Peace-offerings, which was for the People: and Aaron's Sons prefented unto him the Blood (which he sprinkled upon the Altar round about.)

22 And Aaron lift up his Hands towards the People, and bleffed them; and came down from offering of the Sin-offering, and the Burnt-offering, and Peace-offerings.

23 And Mofes and Aaron went into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and came out and BLESSED the PEOPLE: and the GLORY of the LORD appeared unto all the PEOPLE.

24 And there came a FIRE out from before the LORD, and confumed upon the Altar the Burnt-offering, and the Fat: which when all the People faw, they fhouted and fell on their Faces.

3 Then Mofes faid unto Aaron, this is it that the LORD fpake, faying, I will be SANCTIFIED in them that come nigh me, and before all the People, I will be glorified. And Aaron held his Peace.
