1 | Main principle behind sacrifices? | Gen 3:21 | ha_ger | 214749 | ||
Hello johnramz, In Lev. 17:13-14 God doesn't say that this is the reason for using blood in the sacrifices but He does say that the life is in the blood and the sacrifices are for life - so the worshipper won't die. As for the different sacrifices, only 1 of 5 is specifically for sin. Lev.chapters 1 through 7 describe the different sacrifices: Olah which means rise up or ascent is called in most translations the burnt offering, was offered to allow a connection between the worshipper and God, whole animal was burned up, it was offered daily for the sweet smelling aroma. Minchah, always combined with the Olah is most often called the meat, meal or grain offering, means gift or giving, was done daily with the Olah to renew committment to God, portion of grain given to the priests, again was done for the sweet smelling aroma. Hatta't meaning sin offering, was the only offering for unintentional sins, such as digging a well and not covering it up and someone or some animal falls in it and gets hurt. Also performed after childbirth, for nazarite vow, cleansing of tzara't. This sacrifice would not take care of murder, adultery, theft, or any sin committed knowing it was against God and someone did it anyway. Asham often translated as the guilt or trespass offering. This was offered when someone didn't actually commit an unintentional sin but they felt guilty, that maybe they have done someting wrong. The meat was shared between the altar, priests and worshipper. Zevah Shelamim was the well-being sacrifice. There were 3 different kinds of Zevah offerings: Todah for thanksgiving, all that was not burned on the altar went to the worshipper. Nedar was for an ordinary vow (Asham and Hatta't was for the nazarite vow)and what was not burned on the altar went to the worshipper. Nedavah was a freewill offering or an offering just to be making an offering and what was not burned on the altar went to the worshipper. I hope this helps you understand not only the sacrificial system, but what Jesus did on the cross - His sacrifice took care of the intentional sin which everyone commits, usually on a daily basis!! |
