- And that which is left of the oblation shall be Aharon’s and his sons’: it is a thing most set-apart of the offerings of Yahuah made by fire.

- As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto Yahuah: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour.

Vayiqra (Leviticus) 5
- And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness, whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity.
- Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.
- Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty.
- Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.
- And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:
- And he shall bring his trespass offering unto Yahuah for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.
- And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto Yahuah; one for a sin offering, and the other for a ascending smoke offering.
- And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not divide it asunder:
- And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it is a sin offering.
- And he shall offer the second for an ascending smoke offering, according to the manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
- But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put any frankincense thereon: for it is a sin offering.
- Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it, even a memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto Yahuah: it is a sin offering.

- And Yahuah spake unto Mosheh, saying,
- If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the set-apart things of Yahuah; then he shall bring for his trespass unto Yahuah a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering.

- Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:
- Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,
- Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.
- And he shall bring his trespass offering unto Yahuah, a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest:
- And the priest shall make an atonement for him before Yahuah: and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein.

Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) 43:21 – 44:6
Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) 43:21-28
- 21. This people have I formed for Myself; they shall shew forth My praise.
- 22. But thou hast not called upon Me, O Ya’aqov; but thou hast been weary of Me, O Yashar’el.
- 23. Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured Me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.
- 24. Thou hast bought Me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled Me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made Me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied Me with thine iniquities.
- 25. I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for Mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
- 26. Put Me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
- 27. Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against Me.
- 28. Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Ya’aqov to the curse, and Yashar’el to reproaches.
Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) 44:1-6
- Yet now hear, O Ya’aqov My servant; and Yashar’el, whom I have chosen:
- Thus saith Yahuah that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Ya’aqov, my servant; and thou, Yasharun, whom I have chosen.
- For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour My Ruach upon thy seed, and My blessing upon thine offspring:
- And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.
- One shall say, I am Yahuah’s; and another shall call himself by the name of Ya’aqov; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto Yahuah, and surname himself by the name of Yashar’el.
- Thus saith Yahuah the King of Yashar’el, and his redeemer Yahuah Tseva’oth; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no Elohiym.

Ivriym (Hebrews) 10:1-18 & 13:10-15
Ivriym (Hebrews) 10:1-18
- For the Torah having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
- For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
- But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
- For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
- Wherefore when He cometh into the world, He saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast Thou prepared Me:
- In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin Thou hast had no pleasure.
- Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of Me,) to do Thy will, O Elohiym.
- Above when He said, Sacrifice and offering and ascending smoke offerings and offering for sin Thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
- Then said He, Lo, I come to do thy will, O Elohiym. He taketh away the first, that He may establish the second.
- By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Yahusha Ha’Mashiach once for all.
- And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
- But this man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of Elohiym;
- From henceforth expecting till His enemies be made His footstool.
- For by one offering He hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
- Whereof the Ruach Ha’Qodesh also is a witness to us: for after that He had said before,
- This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith Yahuah, I will put my Torah into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
- And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
- Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
Ivriym (Hebrews) 13:10-15
- 10. We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.
- 11. For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
- 12. Wherefore Yahusha also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered without the gate.
- 13. Let us go forth therefore unto Him without the camp, bearing His reproach.
- 14. For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
- 15. By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to Elohiym continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name.
