BURNT OFFERING, THE[edit | edit source]

Torrey's New Topical Textbook[edit | edit source]

To be offered only to the Lord

Specially acceptable

The most ancient of all sacrifices

Offered by the Jews before the law

TO BE TAKEN FROM

Was an atonement for sin

Guilt transferred to, by imposition of hands

REQUIRED TO BE

Blood of, sprinkled round about upon the altar

If a bird, the blood was wrung out at the side of the altar

Ashes of, collected at foot of the altar, and conveyed

Skin of, given to the priests for clothing

WAS OFFERED

14

The fat, &c of all peace offerings laid on, and consumed with

Of the wicked, not accepted by God

Obedience better than

Knowledge of God better than

Love of God better than

Abraham tried by the command to offer Isaac as

Incapable of removing sin, and reconciling to God

The most costly, no adequate tribute to God

Guilt of unauthorised persons offering

Guilt of offering, except in the place appointed

Of human victims execrated
