Footnotes

  1. Hebrews 13:11 No one had the right to eat any of the sacrifice made on the Day of Atonement.
  2. Hebrews 13:12 That is, because Jesus is the fulfillment of that sacrifice.
  3. Hebrews 13:12 As the fulfillment of that sacrifice, there is no sacrificial body remaining. There is no physical eating associated with the sacrifice of Jesus. We are established by grace, not by any connection with foods or eating. So do not be carried away by teachings linking physical eating to spiritual benefits.
