Leviticus 3-4
This year, I plan on reading the Old Testament of the Bible within the 2012 calendar year. Follow me on this journey! Please, if you have questions or comments... let me know!
Scripture Thought (What I Learned):
Chapter 3: Don't Eat Blood of Fat
Peace
offerings are made with animals that are without blemish. These animals are
taken to the doors of the tabernacle where they are killed. Aaron and his
priests then take the animal and sprinkle it around the altar where the animal
will be burnt as a peace offering unto the Lord.
Israel
is forbidden to eat blood or fat.
Chapter 4: Sinners are forgiven through
sacrifice.
Those
who sin ignorantly can bring a young bullock (sheep) without blemish before the
priests in the tabernacle, as sin
offering.
The
animal is killed and then a priest dips his finger in the blood and sprinkle it
seven times before the veil of the sanctuary. Blood will also be placed on the
horns of the altar of sweet incense. The rest of the blood is to be poured into
the bottom of the altar, and all the fat be removed from the bullock, to be
burned with the skin on the altar.
Sins are
forgiven through this method, the priests using this method are making an atonement
for the sins of the people.
