This act signifies the complete removal of sin from the community, as the remains of the sacrificial animals are taken outside the camp, symbolizing the separation of sin from the people. This foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who was crucified outside the city of Jerusalem, bearing the sins of humanity (<a href="/hebrews/13-11.htm">Hebrews 13:11-12</a>).<p><b>must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water</b><br>The requirement for washing and bathing emphasizes the need for purification after handling the sin offering. This ritual cleansing signifies the removal of impurity and the restoration of holiness. In the broader biblical context, water is often a symbol of purification and renewal, as seen in the practice of baptism in the New Testament (<a href="/acts/22-16.htm">Acts 22:16</a>). The act of washing also reflects the importance of maintaining purity before reentering the community, highlighting the holiness required to approach God.<p><b>and afterward he may reenter the camp</b><br>Reentering the camp signifies the restoration of fellowship with the community and with God. The camp represents the dwelling place of God's people, and reentry indicates that the person is once again ceremonially clean and able to participate fully in the life of the community. This mirrors the spiritual restoration believers experience through Christ, who cleanses from sin and restores fellowship with God (1 <a href="/john/1-9.htm">John 1:9</a>). The process underscores the seriousness of sin and the necessity of atonement and purification before one can be in the presence of a holy God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_high_priest.htm">The High Priest</a></b><br>The high priest plays a central role in the Day of Atonement rituals, performing sacrifices and entering the Holy of Holies.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_scapegoat.htm">The Scapegoat</a></b><br>A goat that symbolically carries the sins of the people into the wilderness, representing the removal of sin.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_camp.htm">The Camp</a></b><br>Refers to the encampment of the Israelites, symbolizing the community of God's people.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_one_who_burns_the_offerings.htm">The One Who Burns the Offerings</a></b><br>This person is responsible for burning the remains of the sin offering outside the camp, highlighting the removal of impurity.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_day_of_atonement.htm">The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur)</a></b><br>An annual event where the high priest makes atonement for the sins of Israel, emphasizing purification and reconciliation with God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_necessity_of_purification.htm">The Necessity of Purification</a></b><br>The requirement for the one who burns the offerings to wash and bathe underscores the importance of purity before re-entering the community.
