Exodus 27:3-8 Sin has a high price!

3Make all its utensils of bronze—its pots for removing ashes, its shovels, its sprinkling bowls, its meat forks, and its firepans. 4Construct for it a grate of bronze mesh, and make a bronze ring at each of the four corners of the mesh. 5Set the grate beneath the ledge of the altar, so that the mesh comes halfway up the altar. 

6Additionally, make poles of acacia wood for the altar and overlay them with bronze. 7The poles are to be inserted into the rings so that the poles are on two sides of the altar when it is carried.

8Construct the altar with boards so that it is hollow. It is to be made just as you were shown on the mountain.

Pans: “To hold the fat-soaked ashes when they were removed from the hearth by the shovels.” (Kaiser)

Basins: “To catch the blood of the animals slain beside the altar to be sprinkled on the altar’s base.” (Kaiser)

Forks: “Three-pronged forks for arranging the sacrifice or retracting the priest’s portion” (Kaiser)

Firepans: “For carrying fire from the altar of incense inside the Holy Place” (Kaiser)

Sin has a high price. I’ve always wondered, why blood 🩸 to cover sin?

Genesis 3:21 And the LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and He clothed them.

Adam named all the animals and before sin they were his pets. After sin the Lord made garments of skin for Adam and Eve.

Blood was spilled because of sin and it takes blood to cover sin.

Jesus Christ washes away sin with His blood.

Is your sin covered by blood 🩸 or washed away?

Blessings, David
