‏ 2 Chronicles 29:22-24

v. 22-24: Along with the sin-offerings, they also gave burnt-offerings—seven bullocks, seven rams, and seven lambs. The blood of these animals was sprinkled on the altar to make peace for all Israel (2 Chronicles 29:22-24 a). This act looked forward to Jesus Christ, who is the perfect sacrifice for everyone’s sins (1 John 2:1-2 b). The king and leaders laid their hands on the goats to show they were placing their guilt on the sacrifice, just as we put our faith in Jesus for forgiveness (Romans 5:11 c).
