What Does Hebrews 13:11 Mean in the King James?
For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
The analysis reads the King James wording.
King James Version The King James Version, first published in 1611. Selah Verse shows the standard text.
THE KEY
The offering moves in two opposite directions at once: its blood is carried into the sanctuary while its bodies are burned beyond the camp.
THE MEANING
The verse makes the missing visible as a paired motion: blood is carried into the sanctuary, while the bodies are burned beyond the camp. One part is brought within; the bodies themselves are taken outside. The reader sees approach and removal held together in the same offering.
THE ROOT
ἁμαρτία
hamartia
GROWS FROM
ἁμαρτ- (hamart-), from ἁμαρτάνω (hamartanō)
To miss, err, or fail to reach.
“sin” in this verse is hamartia. Here hamartia names what the offering concerns: the missing. Its word family carries the sense of missing or failing to reach, while the verse shows a body going out as blood is brought in.
ALSO GROWS
hamartanō: To miss or err.
ἁμαρτάνω
This verb makes the sense inside “sin” audible: the missing is something that has gone astray or fallen short.
hamartōlos: A sinner; one who misses.
ἁμαρτωλός
The related word describes a person through the same language of missing, linking the condition to the root’s action.
hamartēma: A miss, error, or wrongdoing.
ἁμάρτημα
This noun names a particular instance of missing, showing the same root at work in both an act and what the offering concerns.
THE PATTERN
The handling of the missing joins inward approach with outward removal: blood enters the holy place while a body crosses beyond the camp.
And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.THE THREAD
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.The bodies in this verse are burned outside the camp; the next verse places Jesus’ suffering outside the gate and names his blood. That shared outside boundary connects the animal offering’s two directions to the passage that follows.
