“As has been done today, the Lord has commanded to be done to make atonement for you” (8:34). Aaron and his sons, the priestly line among the Levites, had the special role of offering sacrifices (while the other Levites served generally in the temple). As ordinary humans, they needed to offer sacrifices for their own sins (8:14). Their unique role foreshadowed Jesus Christ, who is both our permanent high priest and our perfect sacrifice (Hebrews 7:23-28). 

“So you will not die” (8:35). The elaborate rituals of priests and sacrifices ensured that the Israelites could meet with the holy Creator and not die, until the day when Christ – through the sacrifice of himself – opened God’s presence to all who trust in him.
