Theophylact of Ohrid, on Heb 13:11

Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
Heb 13:11 · Douay-Rheims
“For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the holies by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.”
On this verse:
“Having shown that what the Jews venerated served as a foreshadowing of our worship, he says that the sacrifices in which the people could not participate were nothing; but in our sacrifice, even the high priests of the Old Testament law have no share, for those sacrifices served as a foreshadowing of this one. For just as the high priest brought into the sanctuary the blood of the animals offered for the sins of the people, while the bodies were burned outside the camp, so also Christ, having suffered for the sins of the world, brought His Blood into the sanctuary to the Father as High Priest, while the body was crucified outside the gates. Therefore, performing the remembrance of that sacrifice, our high priests bring the Blood of the Lord into our sanctuary and upon the altar, as into heaven. For this reason, the high priests of the Old Testament law may not partake from this altar, as being foreigners and as not contemplating that which is above this world; but we are not such.”
