Leviticus 1:11 NLT
“Slaughter the animal on the north side of the altar in the Lord’s presence, and Aaron’s sons, the priests, will splatter its blood against all sides of the altar.”
Splatter its blood
Like the case of the young bull, God also required that the offeror slaughter the sheep or goat in His presence. Given that the Israelites had been in Egypt for a while, they might have learned other methods of sacrificing animals for burnt offerings. Nevertheless, God made it known that the offeror must only slaughter the burnt offering animal. After that, Aaron’s sons splattered the blood of the slaughtered animal on all sides of the altar of burnt offering. The exercise constantly reminded the offeror that without atonement, relation with God was impossible. We are so grateful to God because our atonement is in the finished work of Christ on the cross at Calvary. What a privilege we have in Jesus!
Prayer
King of glory, thank You for Your saving grace. In Jesus’s name, amen.
