Exodus 30:11
"Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once in the year; with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to the LORD.”"
Key Reflection
Aaron's annual task of making atonement on the horns of the bronze altar involved using the blood from a sin offering, symbolizing God’s forgiveness for the community’s sins. This practice underscored the altar's sacred nature and reinforced the idea that only through ritual sacrifice could the people find atonement with God, reflecting the central role of the temple in maintaining Israelite worship and divine favor.
