Leviticus 16-20

In chapter 16, we see Aaron must have a sacrifice for his own sins, then a sacrifice for the people's sins, then a sacrifice that bears the sins of the people and takes them away. Three sacrifices. Only Christ could 'die once for all' in place of the three sacrifices.

The beginning of Leviticus describes on what basis the people can approach God. The next part (from chapter 17) describes how the people remain in fellowship with God. (20v22) 'You shall therefore keep all my statutes and all my rules and do them, that the land where I am bringing you to live may not vomit you out.'
