TODAY'S BIBLE TWEET

BIBLE TEXT: “And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish. And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the Lord: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar. And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar: But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.” (Leviticus 1:10-13)

BIBLE TWEET: Having given us the procedure for offering a bull as a burnt offering, Leviticus now gives us the procedure for offering a lamb or a goat as a burnt offering.

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: Again, as in verses 3-9, if the sacrifice is to prove to be a sweet smelling aroma to God, it not only had to be all offered for atonement, but also offered as God specifically prescribed and only by God’s sanctified priests. It could not be offered for just anything, in any proportion, in any way, and by anybody.
