The writer of Hebrews developed images from the Day of Atonement to stress the superiority of Christ's priesthood (Hebrews 8:6; Hebrews 9:7 ,Hebrews 9:7,9:11-26 ). Hebrews 13:11-12 uses the picture of the bull and goat burned outside the camp as an illustration of Christ's suffering outside Jerusalem's city walls. According to one interpretation Paul alluded to the day's ritual by speaking of Christ as a sin offering ( 2 Corinthians 5:21 ). See Atonement .
