When the Passover Lamb was slain, God was promising that He would create a new Garden, cleansed by the blood of His Son, where He and His Children would walk together and bring Creation out of its futility.
But to enter the Garden, humanity needed to believe, have faith!
Unbelief removed Adam from the Garden, and unbelief prevented Israel from re-entering the Garden.
We should not be like them, who because of unbelief made God swear that they would never enter His Rest.

We may return to the same conclusion that we reached before: the sacrifice of animals is inadequate to achieve final cleansing, nor can it cleanse anything more than the copies of heavenly things. Then who will bring the definitive sacrifice? A man must do it. A similar point is made indirectly in Num. 35:33-34: “Do not pollute the land where you are. Bloodshed pollutes the land, and atonement cannot be made for the land on which blood has been shed, except by the blood of the one who shed it. Do not defile the land where you live and where I dwell, for I, the LORD, dwell among the Israelites.” When a man had shed blood, the man must die. But there is one exception, when the blood of the death of the high priest releases a manslaughterer to return home (Num. 35:25-28). The blood of the high priest has special value. In agreement with this principle, Zech. 3 uses all the symbolism of a defiled human high priest Joshua and then speaks mysteriously of the Branch in connection with which “I will remove the sin of this land in a single day” (Zech. 3:9).

Do your part, brother. Believe.
And don't keep copying and pasting from watered down commentaries.
