    • The blood of the animal sacrifices foreshadows the blood of Jesus, which obtains “everlasting deliverance for us.” (Heb. 9:12)

  • Bible Book Number 3—Leviticus
    “All Scripture Is Inspired of God and Beneficial”
    • 38. How were the typical sacrifices fulfilled in Jesus?

      38 The actual sacrificial victims​—sound, unblemished animals offered as burnt or sin offerings—​represent the perfect unblemished sacrifice of the human body of Jesus Christ. (Heb. 9:13, 14; 10:1-10; Lev. 1:3) Interestingly, Paul also discusses the feature of the Atonement Day where the carcasses of animals for the sin offering were taken outside the camp and burned. (Lev. 16:27) “Hence Jesus also,” writes Paul, “suffered outside the gate. Let us, then, go forth to him outside the camp, bearing the reproach he bore.” (Heb. 13:12, 13)
