A pattern of (this verse)Genesis 22:13

A substitute dies so the promised son lives, foreshadowing the faultless and pure lamb, the blood of Christ.

“Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.”

The same thread (this verse)1 Corinthians 5:7

Redeemed not with perishable things like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of a faultless lamb.

“Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.”
