Numbers 6:9-11
“ If someone suddenly dies near him, defiling his consecrated head, he must shave his head on the day of his purification; he is to shave it on the seventh day.On the eighth day he is to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting.The priest is to offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to make atonement on behalf of the Nazirite, since he incurred guilt because of the corpse. On that day he is to consecrate his head again.

Leviticus 8:14-36
Then he brought the bull near for the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull for the sin offering.Then Moses slaughtered it, took the blood, and applied it with his finger to the horns of the altar on all sides, purifying the altar. He poured out the blood at the base of the altar and consecrated it so that atonement can be made on it.Moses took all the fat that was on the entrails, the fatty lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and he burned them on the altar.He burned the bull with its hide, flesh, and waste outside the camp, as the LORD had commanded Moses.Then he presented the ram for the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.Moses slaughtered it and splattered the blood on all sides of the altar.Moses cut the ram into pieces and burned the head, the pieces, and the fat,but he washed the entrails and legs with water. He then burned the entire ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD as he had commanded Moses.Next he presented the second ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.Moses slaughtered it, took some of its blood, and put it on Aaron’s right earlobe, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.Moses also presented Aaron’s sons and put some of the blood on their right earlobes, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Then Moses splattered the blood on all sides of the altar.He took the fat— the fat tail, all the fat that was on the entrails, the fatty lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat— as well as the right thigh.From the basket of unleavened bread that was before the LORD he took one cake of unleavened bread, one cake of bread made with oil, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat portions and the right thigh.He put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and presented them before the LORD as a presentation offering.Then Moses took them from their hands and burned them on the altar with the burnt offering. This was an ordination offering for a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.He also took the breast and presented it before the LORD as a presentation offering; it was Moses’s portion of the ordination ram as the LORD had commanded him.Then Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled them on Aaron and his garments, as well as on his sons and their garments. In this way he consecrated Aaron and his garments, as well as his sons and their garments.Moses said to Aaron and his sons,“ Boil the meat at the entrance to the tent of meeting and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket for the ordination offering as I commanded: Aaron and his sons are to eat it.Burn up what remains of the meat and bread.Do not go outside the entrance to the tent of meeting for seven days, until the time your days of ordination are completed, because it will take seven days to ordain you.The LORD commanded what has been done today in order to make atonement for you.You must remain at the entrance to the tent of meeting day and night for seven days and keep the LORD’s charge so that you will not die, for this is what I was commanded.”So Aaron and his sons did everything the LORD had commanded through Moses.

Leviticus 4:3-35
“ If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, he is to present to the LORD a young, unblemished bull as a sin offering for the sin he has committed.He is to bring the bull to the entrance to the tent of meeting before the LORD, lay his hand on the bull’s head, and slaughter it before the LORD.The anointed priest will 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 curtain of the sanctuary.The priest is to 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 legs, and its entrails and waste—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.“ Now if the whole community of Israel errs, and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly, so that they violate any of the LORD’s commands and incur guilt by doing what is prohibited,then the assembly must present a young bull as a sin offering. They are to bring it before the tent of meeting when the sin they have committed in regard to the command becomes known.The elders of the community are to lay their hands on the bull’s head before the LORD and it is to be slaughtered before the LORD.The anointed priest will bring some of the bull’s blood into the tent of meeting.The priest is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD in front of the curtain.He is to apply some of the blood to the horns of the altar that is before the LORD in the tent of meeting. He will pour out the rest of the 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 it and burn it on the altar.He is to offer this bull just as he did with the bull in the sin offering; he will offer it the same way. So the priest will make atonement on their behalf, and they will be forgiven.Then he will bring the bull outside the camp and burn it just as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.“ When a leader sins and unintentionally violates any of the commands of the LORD his God by doing what is prohibited, and incurs guilt,or someone informs him about the sin he has committed, he is to bring an unblemished male goat as his offering.He is to lay his hand on the head of the goat and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the LORD. It is a sin offering.Then the priest is to take some of the blood from the sin offering with his finger and apply it to the horns of the altar of burnt offering. The rest of its blood he is to pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering.He must burn all its fat on the altar, like the fat of the fellowship sacrifice. In this way the priest will make atonement on his behalf for that person’s sin, and he will be forgiven.“ Now if any of the common people sins unintentionally by violating one of the LORD’s commands, does what is prohibited, and incurs guilt,or if someone informs him about the sin he has committed, then he is to bring an unblemished female goat as his offering for the sin that he has committed.He is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering.Then the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger and apply it to the horns of the altar of burnt offering. He is to pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar.He is to remove all its fat just as the fat is removed from the fellowship sacrifice. The priest is to burn it on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement on his behalf, and he will be forgiven.“ Or if the offering that he brings as a sin offering is a lamb, he is to bring an unblemished female.He is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it as a sin offering at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered.Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and apply it to the horns of the altar of burnt offering. He is to pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar.He is to remove all its fat just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the fellowship sacrifice. The priest will burn it on the altar along with the food offerings to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement on his behalf for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven.

Hebrews 7:26-28
For this is the kind of high priest we need: holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.He doesn’t need to offer sacrifices every day, as high priests do— first for their own sins, then for those of the people. He did this once for all time when he offered himself.For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak, but the promise of the oath, which came after the law, appoints a Son, who has been perfected forever.
