[Hebrews 8:13 ESV] {13} In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

[Hebrews 10:10-18 ESV] {10} And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. {11} And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. {12} But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, {13} waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. {14} For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified. {15} And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying, {16} “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds,” {17} then he adds, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.” {18} Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

[Ezekiel 43:1-5 ESV] {1} Then he led me to the gate, the gate facing east. {2} And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the east. And the sound of his coming was like the sound of many waters, and the earth shone with his glory. {3} And the vision I saw was just like the vision that I had seen when he came to destroy the city, and just like the vision that I had seen by the Chebar canal. And I fell on my face. {4} As the glory of the LORD entered the temple by the gate facing east, {5} the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the temple.

[Ezekiel 40:46 ESV] {46} and the chamber that faces north is for the priests who have charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who alone among the sons of Levi may come near to the LORD to minister to him.”

[Ezekiel 43:19 ESV] {19} you shall give to the Levitical priests of the family of Zadok, who draw near to me to minister to me, declares the Lord GOD, a bull from the herd for a sin offering.

[Numbers 18:8, 19 ESV] {8} Then the LORD spoke to Aaron, “Behold, I have given you charge of the contributions made to me, all the consecrated things of the people of Israel. I have given them to you as a portion and to your sons as a perpetual due. … {19} All the holy contributions that the people of Israel present to the LORD I give to you, and to your sons and daughters with you, as a perpetual due. It is a covenant of salt forever before the LORD for you and for your offspring with you.”

[Numbers 25:1-13 ESV] {1} While Israel lived in Shittim, the people began to whore with the daughters of Moab. {2} These invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. {3} So Israel yoked himself to Baal of Peor. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel. {4} And the LORD said to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people and hang them in the sun before the LORD, that the fierce anger of the LORD may turn away from Israel.” {5} And Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Each of you kill those of his men who have yoked themselves to Baal of Peor.” {6} And behold, one of the people of Israel came and brought a Midianite woman to his family, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of the whole congregation of the people of Israel, while they were weeping in the entrance of the tent of meeting. {7} When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose and left the congregation and took a spear in his hand {8} and went after the man of Israel into the chamber and pierced both of them, the man of Israel and the woman through her belly. Thus the plague on the people of Israel was stopped. {9} Nevertheless, those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand. {10} And the LORD said to Moses, {11} “Phinehas the son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, has turned back my wrath from the people of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I did not consume the people of Israel in my jealousy. {12} Therefore say, ‘Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace, {13} and it shall be to him and to his descendants after him the covenant of a perpetual priesthood, because he was jealous for his God and made atonement for the people of Israel.’”

[Malachi 2:1-8 ESV] {1} “And now, O priests, this command is for you. {2} If you will not listen, if you will not take it to heart to give honor to my name, says the LORD of hosts, then I will send the curse upon you and I will curse your blessings. Indeed, I have already cursed them, because you do not lay it to heart. {3} Behold, I will rebuke your offspring, and spread dung on your faces, the dung of your offerings, and you shall be taken away with it. {4} So shall you know that I have sent this command to you, that my covenant with Levi may stand, says the LORD of hosts. {5} My covenant with him was one of life and peace, and I gave them to him. It was a covenant of fear, and he feared me. He stood in awe of my name. {6} True instruction was in his mouth, and no wrong was found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and he turned many from iniquity. {7} For the lips of a priest should guard knowledge, and people should seek instruction from his mouth, for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts. {8} But you have turned aside from the way. You have caused many to stumble by your instruction. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says the LORD of hosts,

[Jeremiah 33:14-18 ESV] {14} “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will fulfill the promise I made to the house of Israel and the house of Judah. {15} In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch to spring up for David, and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. {16} In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell securely. And this is the name by which it will be called: ‘The LORD is our righteousness.’ {17} “For thus says the LORD: David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel, {18} and the Levitical priests shall never lack a man in my presence to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to make sacrifices forever.”

[Ezekiel 40:45-46 ESV] {45} And he said to me, “This chamber that faces south is for the priests who have charge of the temple, {46} and the chamber that faces north is for the priests who have charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who alone among the sons of Levi may come near to the LORD to minister to him.”

[Ezekiel 43:19 ESV] {19} you shall give to the Levitical priests of the family of Zadok, who draw near to me to minister to me, declares the Lord GOD, a bull from the herd for a sin offering.

[1 Chronicles 6:3-8 ESV] {3} The children of Amram: Aaron, Moses, and Miriam. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. {4} Eleazar fathered Phinehas, Phinehas fathered Abishua, {5} Abishua fathered Bukki, Bukki fathered Uzzi, {6} Uzzi fathered Zerahiah, Zerahiah fathered Meraioth, {7} Meraioth fathered Amariah, Amariah fathered Ahitub, {8} Ahitub fathered Zadok, Zadok fathered Ahimaaz,

[1 Samuel 2:11-17, 27-36 ESV] {11} Then Elkanah went home to Ramah. And the boy was ministering to the LORD in the presence of Eli the priest. {12} Now the sons of Eli were worthless men. They did not know the LORD. {13} The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come, while the meat was boiling, with a three-pronged fork in his hand, {14} and he would thrust it into the pan or kettle or cauldron or pot. All that the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. This is what they did at Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there. {15} Moreover, before the fat was burned, the priest’s servant would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, “Give meat for the priest to roast, for he will not accept boiled meat from you but only raw.” {16} And if the man said to him, “Let them burn the fat first, and then take as much as you wish,” he would say, “No, you must give it now, and if not, I will take it by force.” {17} Thus the sin of the young men was very great in the sight of the LORD, for the men treated the offering of the LORD with contempt. … {27} And there came a man of God to Eli and said to him, “Thus says the LORD, ‘Did I indeed reveal myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt subject to the house of Pharaoh? {28} Did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? I gave to the house of your father all my offerings by fire from the people of Israel. {29} Why then do you scorn my sacrifices and my offerings that I commanded for my dwelling, and honor your sons above me by fattening yourselves on the choicest parts of every offering of my people Israel?’ {30} Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I promised that your house and the house of your father should go in and out before me forever,’ but now the LORD declares: ‘Far be it from me, for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed. {31} Behold, the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father’s house, so that there will not be an old man in your house. {32} Then in distress you will look with envious eye on all the prosperity that shall be bestowed on Israel, and there shall not be an old man in your house forever. {33} The only one of you whom I shall not cut off from my altar shall be spared to weep his eyes out to grieve his heart, and all the descendants of your house shall die by the sword of men. {34} And this that shall come upon your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, shall be the sign to you: both of them shall die on the same day. {35} And I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who shall do according to what is in my heart and in my mind. And I will build him a sure house, and he shall go in and out before my anointed forever. {36} And everyone who is left in your house shall come to implore him for a piece of silver or a loaf of bread and shall say, “Please put me in one of the priests’ places, that I may eat a morsel of bread.”‘”

[1 Kings 2:10-12, 26-27, 35 ESV] {10} Then David slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of David. {11} And the time that David reigned over Israel was forty years. He reigned seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem. {12} So Solomon sat on the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was firmly established. … {26} And to Abiathar the priest the king said, “Go to Anathoth, to your estate, for you deserve death. But I will not at this time put you to death, because you carried the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because you shared in all my father’s affliction.” {27} So Solomon expelled Abiathar from being priest to the LORD, thus fulfilling the word of the LORD that he had spoken concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh. … {35} The king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada over the army in place of Joab, and the king put Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar.

[Leviticus 1:1-5, 14 ESV] {1} The LORD called Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting, saying, {2} “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When any one of you brings an offering to the LORD, you shall bring your offering of livestock from the herd or from the flock. {3} “If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish. He shall bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before the LORD. {4} He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. {5} Then he shall kill the bull before the LORD, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall bring the blood and throw the blood against the sides of the altar that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting. … {14} “If his offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves or pigeons.

[Leviticus 2:1-3 ESV] {1} “When anyone brings a grain offering as an offering to the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour. He shall pour oil on it and put frankincense on it {2} and bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests. And he shall take from it a handful of the fine flour and oil, with all of its frankincense, and the priest shall burn this as its memorial portion on the altar, a food offering with a pleasing aroma to the LORD. {3} But the rest of the grain offering shall be for Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the LORD’s food offerings.

[Leviticus 4:1-12 ESV] {1} And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, {2} “Speak to the people of Israel, saying, If anyone sins unintentionally in any of the LORD’s commandments about things not to be done, and does any one of them, {3} if it is the anointed priest who sins, thus bringing guilt on the people, then he shall offer for the sin that he has committed a bull from the herd without blemish to the LORD for a sin offering. {4} He shall bring the bull to the entrance of the tent of meeting before the LORD and lay his hand on the head of the bull and kill the bull before the LORD. {5} And the anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bull and bring it into the tent of meeting, {6} and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle part of the blood seven times before the LORD in front of the veil of the sanctuary. {7} And the priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before the LORD that is in the tent of meeting, and all the rest of the blood of the bull he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting. {8} And all the fat of the bull of the sin offering he shall remove from it, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails {9} and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins and the long lobe of the liver that he shall remove with the kidneys {10} (just as these are taken from the ox of the sacrifice of the peace offerings); and the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering. {11} But the skin of the bull and all its flesh, with its head, its legs, its entrails, and its dung– {12} all the rest of the bull–he shall carry outside the camp to a clean place, to the ash heap, and shall burn it up on a fire of wood. On the ash heap it shall be burned up.

[Leviticus 5:1-6 ESV] {1} “If anyone sins in that he hears a public adjuration to testify, and though he is a witness, whether he has seen or come to know the matter, yet does not speak, he shall bear his iniquity; {2} or if anyone touches an unclean thing, whether a carcass of an unclean wild animal or a carcass of unclean livestock or a carcass of unclean swarming things, and it is hidden from him and he has become unclean, and he realizes his guilt; {3} or if he touches human uncleanness, of whatever sort the uncleanness may be with which one becomes unclean, and it is hidden from him, when he comes to know it, and realizes his guilt; {4} or if anyone utters with his lips a rash oath to do evil or to do good, any sort of rash oath that people swear, and it is hidden from him, when he comes to know it, and he realizes his guilt in any of these; {5} when he realizes his guilt in any of these and confesses the sin he has committed, {6} he shall bring to the LORD as his compensation for the sin that he has committed, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin offering. And the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin.

[Leviticus 7:11-18 ESV] {11} “And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings that one may offer to the LORD. {12} If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the thanksgiving sacrifice unleavened loaves mixed with oil, unleavened wafers smeared with oil, and loaves of fine flour well mixed with oil. {13} With the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving he shall bring his offering with loaves of leavened bread. {14} And from it he shall offer one loaf from each offering, as a gift to the LORD. It shall belong to the priest who throws the blood of the peace offerings. {15} And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten on the day of his offering. He shall not leave any of it until the morning. {16} But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow offering or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice, and on the next day what remains of it shall be eaten. {17} But what remains of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned up with fire. {18} If any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering is eaten on the third day, he who offers it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be credited to him. It is tainted, and he who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.

[Hebrews 10:1-18 ESV] {1} For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near. {2} Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? {3} But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. {4} For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. {5} Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, “Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body have you prepared for me; {6} in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure. {7} Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God, as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’” {8} When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), {9} then he added, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second. {10} And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. {11} And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. {12} But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, {13} waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. {14} For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified. {15} And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying, {16} “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds,” {17} then he adds, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.” {18} Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

[Galatians 3:11-12, 19-26 ESV] {11} Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.” {12} But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them shall live by them.” … {19} Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was put in place through angels by an intermediary. {20} Now an intermediary implies more than one, but God is one. {21} Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. {22} But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. {23} Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. {24} So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. {25} But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, {26} for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.
