But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.

And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering;

     and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness.

Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness;

     that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them.

This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith;

And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.

The Day of Atonement

And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron,

     when they offered before the LORD, and died;

And the LORD said unto Moses,

"Speak unto Aaron thy brother,

that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat,

which is upon the ark;

that he die not:

for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat."

Leviticus 16:1-2

[turtletwo]

3 Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.

 

4 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on.

 

(Leviticus 16:3-4)

 

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary on the Bible

In this chapter we have the institution of the annual solemnity of the day of atonement, or expiation, which had as much gospel in it as perhaps any of the appointments of the ceremonial law, as appears by the reference the apostle makes to it,* Hebrews 9:7, &c. We had before divers laws concerning sin-offerings for particular persons, and to be offered upon particular occasions but this is concerning the stated sacrifice, in which the whole nation was interested. The whole service of the day is committed to the high priest. I. He must never come into the most holy place but upon this day, Leviticus 16:1,2. II. He must come dressed in linen garments,Leviticus 16:4. III. He must bring a sin-offering and a burnt-offering for himself. (Leviticus 16:3)

* But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people. (Hebrews 9:7)

 

For Christ also has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive by the Spirit (1 Peter 3: 18)

 

A wonderful contrast! Praise God!! 

A one time offering of Himself for our sins with His precious blood

vs the once a year blood offering referred to in Hebrews 9:7. Praise God!

 

Also, Christ never had to offer it for Himself as the high priest did...for Christ ALONE was WITHOUT sin. Hallelujah!
