TODAY'S BIBLE TWEET

BIBLE TEXT: “Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the Lord, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.” (Leviticus 1:2)

BIBLE TWEET: The covenant God made with Israel at Mount Sinai not only gave Israel the law they had to obey to be faithful to God, but also the sacrifices they had to offer to be forgiven by God, whenever God’s law was broken.

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: Israel’s sacrifices had to be offered to the Lord and from their own flocks and herds. In other words, their sacrifices had to be expensive to them and exclusively offered to the Lord; otherwise, they would be an offense to God rather than an oblation.
