¹¹ Koma Khristu atafika monga Mkulu wa ansembe wa zinthu zokoma zimene zilipo tsopano, Iye analowa mʼChihema chachikulu ndiponso changwiro chimene sichinamangidwe ndi munthu, ndiye kuti sichili pansi pano. ¹² Iye sanalowemo ndi magazi ambuzi yayimuna, ana angʼombe amphongo, koma analowa Malo Opatulika kamodzi kokha ndi magazi ake, atatikonzera chipulumutso chosatha. ¹³ Ngati magazi ambuzi yayimuna, angʼombe yayimuna ndi phulusa la mwana wangʼombe wamkazi zimati zikawazidwa pa odetsedwa zimawayeretsa kotero kuti amakhala oyeretsedwa ku thupi, ¹⁴ nʼkoposa kotani magazi a Khristu, amene mwa Mzimu wamuyaya anadzipereka yekha kwa Mulungu kukhala nsembe yopanda chilema. Iye adzayeretsa chikumbumtima chathu pochotsa ntchito za imfa, kuti ife titumikire Mulungu wamoyo.

¹⁵ Pa chifukwa chimenechi Khristu ndi mʼkhalapakati wa pangano latsopano, kuti iwo amene anayitanidwa alandire chuma chamuyaya, pakuti Iye tsopano anafa ngati dipo lomasula iwo ku machimo amene anachita ali pansi pa pangano loyamba lija.

¹⁶ Ngati munthu alemba pangano losiyira ena chuma, pafunika kutsimikiza kuti wolemba panganolo wamwaliradi, ¹⁷ chifukwa pangano lotere limakhala ndi mphamvu ngati wolembayo wamwalira. Siligwira ntchito pamene wolembayo ali ndi moyo. ¹⁸ Nʼchifukwa chake pangano loyamba lija silinachitike popanda kukhetsa magazi. ¹⁹ Mose atawawuza anthu onse malamulo, anatenga magazi a ana angʼombe amphongo ndi ambuzi yayimuna pamodzi ndi madzi, ubweya wofiira ndiponso chitsamba chotchedwa hisope, ndi kuwaza pa buku ndi anthu onse. ²⁰ Iye anati, “Awa ndi magazi a pangano limene Mulungu wakulamulirani kuti mulisunge.” ²¹ Momwemonso Mose anawaza magazi pa Chihema chija ndiponso pa zipangizo zonse zogwiritsa ntchito pa chipembedzo. ²² Monga mwa malamulo titha kunena kuti, pafupifupi zinthu zonse zimayeretsedwa ndi magazi ndipo popanda kukhetsa magazi palibe kukhululukidwa machimo.

Iye analowa kumwamba kwenikweniko kuti azionekera pamaso pa Mulungu chifukwa cha ife. ²⁵ Iye sanalowe kumwamba kuti azikadziperekanso nsembe kachiwiri monga momwe mkulu wa ansembe ankachitira chaka ndi chaka ku Malo Opatulika kwambiri ndi magazi amene sanali ake. ²⁶ Zikanatero bwenzi Khristu atamva zowawa kambirimbiri chilengedwere cha dziko lapansi. Koma tsopano anaoneka kamodzi kokha chifukwa cha onse pa nthawi yotsiriza kuti achotse tchimo podzipereka yekha nsembe. ²⁷ Popeza kunayikika kwa munthu kufa kamodzi ndipo kenaka kuweruzidwa, ²⁸ momwemonso Khristu anadzipereka nsembe kamodzi kokha kuchotsa machimo a anthu ambiri. Ndipo Iye adzaonekanso kachiwiri, osati kudzachotsa tchimo, koma kudzapereka chipulumutso kwa amene akumudikira.
