Levítico 1:5 NVT

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 1:3-9

The burnt sacrifice of the herd.

These particulars contain specific directions— I. AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE VICTIM . 1 . It must be a male. 2 . It must be without blemish.

The burnt offering. It was wholly consumed by the fire of God's altar; nothing was left for the after consumption either of the offerer or even of God's ministers, as in the other sacrifices. I. IT TYPIFIES THE ENTIRE SELF - SURRENDER OF CHRIST TO GOD . 1. In his eternal resolve to redeem by becoming man. 2. In the humility of his birth on earth. 3.

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 1:5

And he shall kill the bullock. After having made the presentation, the offerer proceeds to the second part of the sacrifice, the immolation or slaying, which was to be performed before the Lord , that is, in front of the tabernacle, on the north side of the brazen altar. Then follows the third part of the sacrifice: the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar. The priests caught the blood (sometimes the Levites were allowed to do... read more

Medication. The sacrificial act cannot be completed, though it can be begun, by the offerer alone. The intervention of God's priest is requisite, and it is his hand which performs the most solemn portion of the rite. Thus there is taught the need of mediation and of a mediator when a work of atonement is to be accomplished. "The expiation was always made or completed by the priest, as the sanctified mediator between Jehovah and the people, or, previous to the institution of the Aaronic... read more

The killing, flaying, and consuming of the victim. Full, throughout, of the idea of atonement. The three main elements are— I. The blood. II. the fire. III. The sweet savour unto the Lord. Consider— I. THE SPRINKLED BLOOD . The offerer killed the victim. The priests received the blood and sprinkled it upon the altar. The two chief elements of atonement were thus trotted—the human and the Divine. Atonement is reconciliation on the ground of a restored... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 1:5

And he shall kill the bullock - Tradition states that before the laying on of the hand, the victim was bound by a cord to a ring on the north side of the altar; as the words of the prayer were ended, the throat was cut and the blood received into a bowl held by an assistant.Sprinkle the blood - Rather, throw the blood, so as to make the liquid cover a considerable surface. (The Christian significance of this typical action is referred to in Hebrews 12:24; 1 Peter 1:2.)By the door of the... read more

1:1-7:38 THE OFFERINGSThe burnt offering (1:1-17)Of all the offerings, the burnt offering was the most ancient. It had been in general use among God’s people long before Moses set out laws to regulate it. The offerings of Noah, Abraham and the Israelites in Egypt were all earlier forms of this sacrifice (Genesis 8:20; Genesis 22:2; Exodus 10:25). It was called the burnt offering because all the flesh was burnt upon the altar. None of it was eaten.Thanksgiving, devotion and atonement were all in... read more
