And not to get too technical on ya, you'd have to actually take those lambs to sanctuary, have the sins be transfered from you to the lamb, then sacrafice the lamb on the altar of burnt offerings. After you were done with the lamb, the High Priest took the blood of the lamb into the "Holy Place" within the sanctuary and sprinkled the blood in front of the veil by the altar of incense.
So your sin pretty much went from you, to the lamb, to the sanctuary.
What made the sanctuary so important? Well, inside the sanctuary was the "Holy Place" where the High Preist did his work, and then the "Most Holy Place" where the Ark of the Covenant was held. Anyone who touched the Ark other then a High Preist was killed instantly :Q
Luckily for us, Christ is everything mentioned above.
What if the sanctuary burned? I guess a new Holy Place would have to be made? I wonder if I can just declare the dead spot in my backyard (where the kids' inflatable pool was) as a 'Holy Place'. And does it have to be a lamb? There's some riding stables next to my neighbor's lot...I could use a horse. That might be worth, what, 10 lambs??
