AMPLIFIED 2015 | Leviticus 16:34 "This shall be a permanent statute for you, so that atonement may be made for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year." So he did just as the LORD had commanded Moses. |
Bible Question:
Leviticus 16:27-34 is the context. Looking at verse 34, it says it is a permanent statute ... but how does that line up with what the Lord did? How does that effect other permanent statutes of the OT? Hebrews 10:4 say "For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins." Is their a contradiction? |
Bible Answer: The Old Covenant was only valid because it was a shadow of the New Covenant. (Joh1:17, Col2:17 Heb8:5, Heb9:9, Heb10:1) When the substance of the Old Covenant was revealed, (which is Jesus Col2:17), the shadow was no longer needed. Example: A 20 dollar bill is only worth 20 dollars because of the gold it represents. If the government distributed the gold as a replacement for the paper, the requirement of anyone redeeming my piece of paper that had “20 dollars” printed on it would no longer be valid. The shadow would have been fulfilled because the real thing (the gold) would have been revealed. Even tho the old 20 dollar bill still had “legal tender” printed on it, it would no longer be valid, because the real thing would have replaced it. Jesus Saves!, retxar |
