2And he commanded him, saying: Speak to Aaron thy brother, that he enter not at all into the sanctuary, which is within the veil before the propitiatory, with which the ark is covered, lest he die, (for I will appear in a cloud over the oracle),
Exodus 30:10, Exodus 30:10, 1 Kings 8:10, 1 Kings 8:12, 1 Kings 8:10

9That whose lot fell to be offered to the Lord, he shall offer for sin.
Acts 4:27, Acts 4:28, Acts 2:23, Acts 4:27, Acts 4:28

Hebrews 9:7, Hebrews 9:7, Hebrews 2:17, Hebrews 9:12, Hebrews 9:3
