Leviticus 1 (The Burnt Offering)

<p>In this commentary we will examine one of the most important offerings of the Old Testament. God instituted Israel's system of worship through Moses' leadership. After establishing the priesthood instructions were given concerning the sacrifices that were acceptable to God. Among the offerings of the Lord the whole burnt offering (introduced in Leviticus chapter 1) was unique. This offering helps the believer to understand Paul's exhortation to present the body a living sacrifice unto God.</p>
