V. 7.— But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the errors of the people. But the high priest alone entered the second compartment, and he only once in the year, not without blood. He then sprinkled the blood of the sin-offering upon the mercy-seat, and also the blood of the goat. Thus he offered first for his own sins, and then for those of the people.
