Procedures for the Burnt Offering

​Procedures for the Burnt Offering

The Lord called to Moses from the Tabernacle and said to him, 

“Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. 

When you present an animal, as an offering to the Lord, you may take it from your herd of cattle or your flock of sheep and goats. 

“If the animal you present, as a burnt offering, is from the herd, it must be a male, with no defects. 

Bring it to the entrance of the Tabernacle, so you may be accepted by the Lord. Lay your hand on the animal’s head, and the Lord will accept its death, in your place, to purify you, making you right with Him. 

Then slaughter the young bull in the Lord’s presence, and Aaron’s sons, the priests, will present the animal’s blood, by splattering it against all sides of the altar that stands at the entrance to the Tabernacle. 

Then skin the animal and cut it into pieces. 

The sons of Aaron, the priest, will build a wood fire on the altar. 

They will arrange the pieces of the offering, including the head and fat, on the wood burning on the altar. 

But the internal organs and the legs must first be washed with water. 

Then the priest will burn the entire sacrifice on the altar as a burnt offering. It is a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the Lord…

“If you present a bird, as a burnt offering to the Lord, choose either a turtledove or a young pigeon. 

The priest will take the bird to the altar, wring off its head, and burn it on the altar. But first, he must drain its blood against the side of the altar. 

The priest must also remove the crop and the feathers and throw them in the ashes on the east side of the altar. 

Then, grasping the bird by its wings, the priest will tear the bird open, but without tearing it apart. 

Then he will burn it as a burnt offering on the wood burning on the altar. 

It is a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

Leviticus 1:1–17 (NLT)

Praise be to God!

1427- Isaiah 42 part 2

Isaiah Chapter 42 part 2 Sing a new song to the Lord! Sing his praises, from the ends of the earth! Sing, all you who sail the seas, all you who live in distant coastlands. Join in the chorus, you desert towns; let the villages of Kedar rejoice! Let the people of Sela sing for joy; shout praises from the mountaintops! Let the whole world glorify the Lord; let it sing his praise. The Lord will march forth like a mighty hero; he will come out like a warrior, full of fury. He will shout his battle cry; and He crush all his enemies. He will say, “I have long been silent; yes, I have restrained myself. But now, like a woman in labor, I will cry and groan and pant. I will level the mountains and hills and blight all their greenery. I will turn the rivers into dry land and will dry up all the pools. I will lead blind Israel down a new path, guiding them along an unfamiliar way. I will brighten the darkness before them and smooth out the road ahead of them. Yes, I will indeed do these things; ...

1426 - Isaiah 42 part 1

Isaiah Chapter 42 part 1  “Look at my servant, whom I strengthen. He is my chosen one, who pleases me. I have put my Spirit upon him. He will bring justice to the nations. He will not shout, or raise his voice in public. He will not crush the weakest reed, or put out a flickering candle. He will bring justice to all, who have been wronged. He will not falter or lose heart, until justice prevails, throughout the earth. Even distant lands, beyond the sea will wait for his instruction.*” God, the Lord, created the heavens, and stretched them out. He created the earth and everything in it. He gives breath to everyone, life to everyone who walks the earth. And it is he who says, “I, the Lord, have called you to demonstrate my righteousness. I will take you by the hand and guard you, and I will give you to my people, Israel, as a symbol of my covenant with them. And you will be a light to guide the nations. You will open the eyes of the blind. You will free the captives from prison, rele...

1251 - Psalm 102 (part-1)

Psalm 102 (part-1) A prayer of one overwhelmed with trouble, pouring out problems before the Lord. Lord, hear my prayer! Listen to my plea! Don’t turn away from me, in my time of distress. Bend down to listen, and answer me quickly when I call to you. For my days disappear like smoke, and my bones burn like red-hot coals. My heart is sick, withered like grass, and I have lost my appetite. Because of my groaning, I am reduced to skin and bones. I am like an owl in the desert, like a little owl in a far-off wilderness. I lie awake, lonely as a solitary bird on the roof. My enemies taunt me day after day. They mock and curse me. I eat ashes for food. My tears run down into my drink, because of your anger and wrath. For you have picked me up and thrown me out. My life passes as swiftly as the evening shadows. I am withering away like grass. But you, O Lord, will sit on your throne forever. Your fame will endure to every generation. You will arise and have mercy on Jerusalem*—and now is the...
