I stand corrected.Lev 16:4 ...these are the holy garments.
You are taking the book to the Hebrews as a prescription for the body of Christ. It is not.Our improvement comes for the harsh discipline of the Lord to train us in righteousness: Heb 12:5-11.
Hebrews 12:5 refers back to the OT where God is speaking to Israel. Here is one example:
Deut 8:1-6 (AKJV/PCE)
(8:1) All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers. (8:2) And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, [and] to prove thee, to know what [was] in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. (8:3) And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every [word] that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. (8:4) Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. (8:5) Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, [so] the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. (8:6) Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
