Question

What is the connection between the daily tamid service and the Day of Atonement in Leviticus? How does the daily service transfer sin INTO the sanctuary (Lev 4:5-7, 10:17, 15:31)? How does the DOA take sin OUT (Lev 16:14-22)? What is the vocabulary distinction — kaphar+salach (daily, forgiveness) vs kaphar+taher (annual, cleansing)? How does the nasa verb connect the daily priest (Lev 10:17) and the annual scapegoat (Lev 16:22)? Why does the tamid never stop, even on the DOA (Num 29:11)?

Key Observations from Topics

  1. Nave's DAILY OFFERING entry points to the tamid institution (Exo 29:38-42), the daily incense (Exo 30:7-9), the tamid regulations (Num 28:3-8), and Daniel's apocalyptic usage (Dan 9:21,26,27; 11:31). The figurative link to John 1:29,36 and 1 Peter 1:19 connects the tamid lamb to Christ.

  2. Nave's ATONEMENT entry explicitly groups the DOA (Lev 16:2-34) with Num 29:7-11, confirming the tamid continuation on the DOA. The "MADE BY ANIMAL SACRIFICES" section includes both daily sin offerings (Lev 4:20,22-35) and annual (Lev 16:6,10,11,15-19,24-34), treating them as one system.

  3. The "Typified" subsection explicitly links LEV 16:30,34 with HEB 9:7,12,28 and LEV 17:11 with HEB 9:22, confirming the NT recognizes the DOA typology.

  4. Nave's SCAPEGOAT entry is narrow — just Lev 16:7-10,20-34 — but covers both the lot-casting (vv.7-10) and the removal ritual (vv.20-34).
