Earthly Sanctuary System Atonement Process Christ as High Priest

“This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of the Lord made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister unto the Lord in the priest’s office;”

He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part.

For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons by a statute for ever from among the children of Israel.

This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of the Lord made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister unto the Lord in the priest’s office;

Which the Lord commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them, by a statute for ever throughout their generations.

This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings;

Atonement Process

This verse describes the portion of offerings given to priests for their service, not the process by which sin is dealt with through sacrifice or mediation. It focuses on the allocation of resources to the priests, not the mechanics of forgiveness or reconciliation.

Christ as High Priest

This verse describes the portion given to Aaron and his sons from fire offerings when they were ordained as priests, focusing on the establishment of the Levitical priesthood.
