10If, however, one’s offering is a burnt offering from the flock—from the sheep or goats—he is to present an unblemished male. 11He shall slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the LORD, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle its blood against the altar on all sides. 12He is to cut the animal into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them, including the head and fat, atop the burning wood that is on the altar. 13The entrails and legs must be washed with water, and the priest shall bring all of it and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
A bull had to be skinned but not a sheep or a goat.
Michigan has a state holiday, it’s opening of rifle deer season, all the schools close and the hunters are in the woods trying to bag the buck and fill the freezer. Michigan is what I would call a poor state especially in the northern areas. I’ve known people that hunt deer year round for food, illegally. If you ever hunted and you take game you have to field dress it and drain the blood, cool it down by any means and hang it. Skin it and butcher it, “cut the animal into pieces”. It’s not a pleasant task.
Imagine sacrificing to the Lord, all the bulls, sheep, goats and birds, hundreds of them!
Jesus completed the law, He was the final sacrifice!
Was He yours?
Blessings, David
