into the Holy Place as a sacrifice for sin This phrase refers to the Day of Atonement, a significant event in the Jewish calendar described in <a href="/leviticus/16.htm">Leviticus 16</a>. The high priest, representing the people, would enter the Holy of Holies once a year to offer blood sacrifices for the sins of Israel. This act symbolized the need for atonement and reconciliation with God. The high priest's role foreshadows Jesus Christ, our ultimate High Priest, who entered the heavenly sanctuary with His own blood, securing eternal redemption (<a href="/hebrews/9-11.htm">Hebrews 9:11-12</a>). The sacrificial system underscores the seriousness of sin and the necessity of a mediator between God and humanity.the bodies are burned outside the camp The burning of the animal bodies outside the camp is a practice rooted in the Levitical law (<a href="/leviticus/16-27.htm">Leviticus 16:27</a>). This act signifies the removal of sin and impurity from the community, emphasizing the holiness required to approach God. The location "outside the camp" is significant, as it represents separation from the sacred space of the tabernacle. This imagery is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who suffered outside the city gates of Jerusalem (<a href="/hebrews/13-12.htm">Hebrews 13:12-13</a>), bearing the reproach and sin of humanity. This connection highlights the complete and final atonement provided by Christ, contrasting the temporary and repetitive nature of the Old Testament sacrifices.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/h/high_priest.htm">High Priest</a> In the context of the Old Testament, the high priest was the chief religious leader of the Israelites, responsible for performing sacrifices and entering the Most Holy Place once a year on the Day of Atonement. 2. <a href="/topical/m/most_holy_place.htm">Most Holy Place</a> Also known as the Holy of Holies, this was the innermost and most sacred area of the ancient Tabernacle and later the Temple in Jerusalem, where the Ark of the Covenant was kept. 3. <a href="/topical/s/sin_offering.htm">Sin Offering</a> A specific type of sacrifice in the Old Testament, intended to atone for sin and restore the relationship between the people and God. 4. <a href="/topical/o/outside_the_camp.htm">Outside the Camp</a> Refers to the area outside the Israelite camp where the remains of the sin offerings were burned, symbolizing the removal of sin and impurity from the community. 5. <a href="/topical/d/day_of_atonement.htm">Day of Atonement</a> An annual Jewish observance where the high priest would make atonement for the sins of the people, entering the Most Holy Place with the blood of a sacrifice.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/u/understanding_the_role_of_the_high_priest.htm">Understanding the Role of the High Priest</a> The high priest's duties foreshadowed the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, our eternal High Priest. <a href="/topical/s/significance_of_the_most_holy_place.htm">Significance of the Most Holy Place</a> The Most Holy Place symbolizes God's presence, and through Christ, believers now have direct access to God. <a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_the_sin_offering.htm">Symbolism of the Sin Offering</a> The sin offering points to the seriousness of sin and the necessity of atonement, fulfilled in Christ's sacrifice. <a href="/topical/m/meaning_of_outside_the_camp.htm">Meaning of Outside the Camp</a> Jesus' crucifixion outside Jerusalem signifies the removal of sin and the call for believers to bear His reproach. <a href="/topical/l/living_a_life_of_sacrifice.htm">Living a Life of Sacrifice</a> As followers of Christ, we are called to live sacrificially, bearing His reproach and serving others in love.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_hebrews_13.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Hebrews 13</a> <a href="/q/why_is_the_burnt_altar_important.htm">Why is the altar of burnt offering significant?</a> <a href="/q/does_a_'holy'_offering_burned_outside_contradict.htm">(Leviticus 6:24–30) How can a “most holy” offering simultaneously require burning outside the camp, and does this present a logical or theological contradiction? </a> <a href="/q/how_did_nomadic_israelites_handle_waste.htm">If ancient Israelites were nomadic in the wilderness, how practical would collecting, containing, and disposing of so much blood and animal waste have been according to Leviticus 4?</a> <a href="/q/does_heb._13_10_contradict_ot_sacrifice_laws.htm">Does Hebrews 13:10's mention of an altar contradict Old Testament laws allowing priests to eat sacrifices?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/hebrews/13.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 11, 12. - For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the High Priest for sin (i.e. as sin offerings; for this sense of περὶ ἁμαρτίας, cf. <a href="/hebrews/10-6.htm">Hebrews 10:6</a>), are burned without the camp. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered without the gate. The allusion is to the sin offerings on the Day of Atonement - the bullock for the high priest, and the goat for the people. Of the flesh of some sacrifices of ordinary peace offerings - the people ate, being themselves "partakers of the altar;" that of ordinary sin offerings was partaken of by the priests alone: but the special sin offerings of the great day, which typified complete atonement, and the blood of which alone was taken into the holiest of all, were consumed entirely by fire without the camp, and not even the priests might eat of them (<a href="/leviticus/16-27.htm">Leviticus 16:27</a>, etc.). This part of the ceremonial, not mentioned in <a href="/hebrews/9.htm">Hebrews 9</a>, completed the symbolism of the Day of Atonement. It not only typified (together with the other goat that was set free) the entire removal of sin from the congregation; it also signified that the Law itself made none, not even the priests, partakers in such complete atonement. Christ fulfilled the first significance of this type by suffering "without the gate;" the Jews, in casting him out from their midst, were the unconscious instruments of his so fulfilling it; he thus bare and took away the sins of all outside the holy city which represented the Israel of God. But further, in him is supplied what under the Law was wanting; for of him, the true Sin Offering, we may all partake: he declared this himself when he spoke of our caring his flesh and drinking his blood - in which words the mention of the blood as well as of the flesh is peculiarly significant; for of the blood, which was "given upon the altar to make atonement for sins" (<a href="/leviticus/17-11.htm">Leviticus 17:11</a>), none might in any case under the Law partake; but of him we even drink the blood, in token that atonement is completed, and that we are now full partakers in all its benefits. The only seeming discrepancy between the type and the Antitype, as above set forth, is in the order of the different parts of the old ceremonial. The sin offering was slain in the camp before it was burnt outside, whereas Christ fulfilled both these parts of the type by one act upon the cross outside. Again, the blood of the sin offering was taken into the holy of holies before the body was consumed by fire outside, whereas Christ entered the heavenly sanctuary "with his own blood" after he had suffered "without the gate." But the general significance of the symbolism in its several parts is not thus disturbed; it is viewed as a whole, and all parts of it are found to be fulfilled. In saying, "we have an altar," and implying that we eat of it, the writer has surely the Eucharist in view, though it does not follow that θυσιαστήριον means definitely the table on which it is celebrated. He may, as some explain, have especially in his mind the cross on which the sacrifice was once for all completed; or he may have had no definite local image before him, seeing rather (as elsewhere in the Epistle) in spiritual realities and relations the counterparts of the Levitical symbols. But that the Holy Communion is alluded to, even if it were not apparent here, might be concluded from <a href="/1_corinthians/10-14.htm">1 Corinthians 10:14-22</a>, where similar phrases are used with distinct reference to it. There St. Paul is dissuading from participation in heathen sacrificial feasts, as being inconsistent with partaking of the Holy Communion; and he says in this connection, "Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices (ἐσθίοντες τὰς θυσίας) partakers of the altar (κοινωνοὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου)?" It is evident that "partakers of the Lord's table" (ver. 21) are regarded as being thereby partakers of the Christian altar, of which mention is made in the text before us. It may be observed that the use here of the word θυσιαστηρίον may be held to justify - and this without implying any actual repetition of the one accomplished sacrifice - the application of the term "altar" to the table on which the Eucharist is celebrated, as does <a href="/1_corinthians/10-21.htm">1 Corinthians 10:21</a> the term "the Lord's table." Both terms were so applied from very early times. The holy tables in our churches are altars, in that on them is continually commemorated and pleaded the one sacrifice of the cross, and that from them the spiritual food of the body and blood is given to the faithful. <a href="/commentaries/hebrews/13-11.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>[Although] γὰρ (gar) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1063.htm">Strong's 1063: </a> For.
