How does Exodus 29:39 connect to Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice in Hebrews 10?

Morning and Evening Sacrifice (Exodus 29:39)

• “Offer one lamb in the morning and the other at twilight.”

• Israel’s day began and ended with blood on the altar.

• The rhythm reminded the people that sin is continual and that fellowship with God depends on atonement.

Why the Repetition Mattered

• Every sunrise called for fresh sacrifice—yesterday’s offering could not cover today’s sin.

• Evening sacrifice closed the day in the same way: constant need, constant blood.

• The daily routine foreshadowed that a greater, permanent solution was still ahead (Galatians 3:24).

Jesus, the Lamb Who Ends the Cycle (Hebrews 10:10–14)

• “We have been sanctified through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” (v. 10)

• “When this Priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God.” (v. 12)

• “By one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.” (v. 14)

From Repetition to Completion

• Exodus 29:39: two lambs every day, without end.

• Hebrews 10:12: one Lamb, once for all time—then He “sat down,” signifying finished work.

• The daily sacrifices were like shadows at dawn; when the sun (Christ) rose, the shadows disappeared (Hebrews 10:1).

Key Parallels

• Lamb imagery: Exodus 29:39; John 1:29; 1 Corinthians 5:7.

• Blood for forgiveness: Leviticus 17:11; Hebrews 9:22.

• Priest and sacrifice combined: Old priests offered others’ blood; Jesus offered His own (Hebrews 7:27).

Living in the Light of the Once-for-All Sacrifice

• Confidence—no more dread of unfinished atonement (Hebrews 10:19).

• Continual gratitude—daily remember a completed work instead of presenting daily offerings (Colossians 2:14).

• Ongoing surrender—offer “living sacrifices” (Romans 12:1) not to gain forgiveness but to thank the Lamb who already secured it.
