Lev. 16:11• 11And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself: (Lev. 16:11)

• The hawk and eagle (vers. 26-30). (“Job 38-42:6” by S. Ridout)
• Jehovah asks if it is Job’s wisdom that directs the hawk to take its southward journey as the winter approaches. What mysterious power, called instinct, is that which moves the birds to migrate to warmer climes?

(“Job 38-42:6” by S. Ridout)
