2) Speak unto the children
of Israel, and say unto them,
if any man of you bring an
offering unto the LORD, ye
shall bring your offering of
cattle, even of the herd, and
of the flock
3)If his offering be burnt
sacrifice of the herd, let him
offer a male without
blemish: he shall offer it of
his own voluntary will at the
door of the tabernacle of
the congregation before the
LORD

IF ANY MAN OF YOU
BRING AN OFFERING TO
THE LORD
GOD, not man, determined
the way, GOD appointed a
Mediator Moses to reveal
the way, GOD opened the
way for all to seek
reconciliation through
sacrifice,
GOD is perfect, living in
absolute perfection; and
heaven is perfect, a place of
absolute perfection no
imperfect being can live in
GOD’S Holy presence, man
on his own , will not be
acceptable to GOD, a great
separation between GOD
and man due to sin,
because man rejects GOD’S
way , he is sinful, short of
perfection, cursed , selfish,
hoarding more and more
shutting his ears to the
needs of the poor, the
hungry, the suffering, and
the lost, ignores GOD,
forgets GOD, lives in self
righteousness feeling he is
good enough and religious
enough to approach GOD.
For unto no other was the
law of sacrifice given: not to
the Gentiles, but to the
|
|
children of Israel , GOD
appointed a Mediator
Moses to reveal the way to
approach and become
acceptable to GOD, the
truth is that GOD made a
way for both the poor and
the rich any person, every
human being who is to
approach him.
If any man of you bring an
offering unto the LORD,
called (Corban) that is to
draw nigh, because it was
not only brought nigh to
GOD, to the door of the
Tabernacle where he dwells,
but because by it they drew
nigh to GOD and presents
themselves to him, which is
solely voluntary or freewill;
not forced or compelled to
do
Bring you offering of those
animals that were not only
tame, innocent and gentle,
but useful and adopted for
food, Oxen, sheep or goats,
but not of wild beast shall
you bring your offering.
Before CHRIST, GOD
instructed people to
approach him through the
Burnt offerings, through the
sacrifice of animal with out
defect or blemish, an animal
that was considered perfect,
the burnt offering was the
very first approach man
ever made to seek
reconciliation with GOD, it is
the offering that symbolized
the atonement, the offering
that symbolized perfect
sacrifice, the sacrifice
substitute in place of man,
bears his sins and the
|

|
Judgment of GOD against
him
Burnt offering so called
because it is consumed by
fire ,which ascends or goes
up as a flame in smoke and
vapor:
THE BURNT OFFERINGS
The purpose of Burnt
offering is to satisfy GOD’S
wrath against, sin,
ceremonially cleaning the
worshiper and restoring him

only way to approach GOD,
to become reconciled and
acceptable to GOD, a
person is assured

with GOD through the
substitute sacrifice: this act
signified that the animal’s
death represent the death
of the owner, in the ritual
for the day of Atonement it
signified that the sins of the
owner is transferred to the
animal, substituted for the
sinners death, for the
covering of sin , to make
you right with GOD

of CHRIST, as a type of
substitute sacrifice for us,,
in our behalf, in our stead,
in our place, by dying for us,
JESUS CHRIST carry our sins
paid the Ransom price to
deliver us from sin and
death , CHRIST dying for us,
by paying the Ransom price
so that we might escape
the penalty of death and
live forever, JESUS CHRIST

received reconciliation, a
person can now approach
GOD and be reconciled

us to be delivered from sin
and death and escape

the LORD JESUS, he is the
only perfect sacrifice, the
one and only sacrifice
acceptable to GOD’S
forgiveness of sin, which
comes through him

4) And he shall put his hand
upon the head of the burnt
offering; and it shall be
accepted for him to make
atonement for him
|
AND HE SHALL PUT HIS
HAND UPON THE HEAD OF
THE BURNT OFFERINGS
He shall signified that he is
willing to give it to the
LORD, by laying his hands
upon the head of the burnt
offering, and made
confession over the burnt
offering, and indeed by this
action he owned that he
had sinned, and deserved to
die as that creature ,that he
judged himself worthy of
that death which it suffered
in his stead: and that he laid
his sins upon it and
deserved pardon of his sin
through the death of the
great sacrifice ,with an eye
to him upon whom GOD
would lay the iniquity of,
and that together with it he
did freely offer up himself to
GOD to make atonement,
ATONEMENT:
How can man be reconciled
and brought to GOD, is
through, Burnt offering
picture the atonement , the
ransom price, paid so that
man might escape the death
penalty demanded by
GOD’S holiness

reconcile by paying a
ransom and covering
different sins, that separate
and alienate a person from
GOD, Atonement, is
ransom or deliver by the
means of a substitute , the
atonement appeases ,
cancels ,annuls GOD’S anger
against sin, the substitute
take the place of the sinner
and bear the punishment
due to the sinner, through
the atonement , a person is
set free from sin and
punishment of death, to
make him acceptable to
GOD.
The atonement death of
JESUS CHRIST was made
once and for all ,; therefore,
his sacrifice fine its
fulfillment in the death of
JESUS CHRIST, his death
makes animal sacrifice
outdated ,, we no longer
have any need to offer
Burnt offering for the
atonement of our sins,, we
are reconciled to GOD by
the death of JESUS CHRIST,
he bore our sins so that we
become acceptable and
reconciled to GOD , we are
accepted when we
approach GOD through the
sacrifice of our JESUS
CHRIST , it is sacrifice that
atones for our sins, that
reconciles us to GOD

if he offer it of the herd;
whether it be a male or
female, he shall offer it
without blemish before the
LORD
2)And he shall lay his hand
upon the head of his
offering, and kill it at the
door of the tabernacle of

.The peace offering or

gratitude and a means of
maintaining fellowship,
between himself and GOD
as the result of atonement,
with an animal without

The main point, potion of
the such offerings were to
be eaten by the one who
offered, signifying the
enjoyment of fellowship
with GOD as pardoned and
reconciled with the sinner,
which is the thank offering
because the presenter was
at peace with GOD and

communal meal .
Yet it was only after

1)And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying
2)Speak unto the children
of Israel, saying, if a soul
shall sin through ignorance
against any of the
commandments of the
LORD concerning things
which ought not to be done,
and shall do against any of
them
3)If the priest that is
anointed do sin according
to the sin of the people;
then let him bring for his

IF A SOUL SHALL SIN
THROUGH IGNORANCE
AGAINST THE
COMMANDMENT OF THE
LORD
Every person stands before
GOD as a sinner, we are in
the state or condition of sin,
no person can ever live in
the presence of GOD, sin is
the condition or state of
imperfection, sin is coming
short of the glory of GOD, of
his perfection
ROMANS 3:23
If a soul shall sin through
ignorance ,error, or
misrepresentation, the sin
however referred to in this
law were unintentional
violations of the ceremonial
laws, breach made through
haste, or negligence, such
sins as a man is overtaken
with unawares, against the
commandment of the LORD
concerning things which
ought not to be done , that
is the time of its committal,
did not know that it was a
transgression: but
recognized it as sin after he
did it, against the
commandment of GOD,,
which, if done knowingly
and willfully, would have
involved a capital
punishment,
A sin offering had to be
brought and Atonement is
made, sin is transgression
against the law of GOD or
breaking any single one of
the commandments and
incurred the penalty of
broken the law,, it is against
everything which is opposed
to holiness and purity of the
divine law committed
strictly in ignorance they
are, in short, to be offered
by the worshipper as a relief
of the conscience whenever
he felt the need of
atonement, this includes all
men, priest and laymen
GOD required a sin offering
in order that those who
sinned in ignorance, in
weakness or unintentionally
could receive forgiveness,
intentional rebellious sins,
on the other hand, were to
be punished by death.
The sin of ignorance or
though error, to make
atonement for
unintentional violation of
GOD’S commandments,
mandatory atonement for
specific unintentional sin,
which is accompany with:
confession of sin,
forgiveness of sin, cleansing
from defilement, that is
intended to remedy a
failure and repair a loss.
The sin offering was for
those who committed a sin
without realizing it or
committed sin out of
weakness as opposed to
outright rebellion against
GOD
Before CHRIST came
people were to approach
GOD through the sacrifice of
animals that bore the sin
the guilt of his sins, the
animal stood as the symbol
of the LORD JESUS CHRIST,
CHRIST was the lamb of
GOD that takes away the
sins of the world, if a person
believe sGOD through the
sacrificed animal, GOD
counted the animal as a
picture of CHRIST, as the
person’s substitute in
bearing the punishment of
sin, GOD counted the
sacrifice as the ransom
payment to be paid by
CHRIST.
A person gains the right to
live eternally with GOD, It is
through the death of JESUS
CHRIST, he is the sacrifice,
the ransom paid to deliver
us from the penalty of sin,
when a person trusts in
JESUS CHRIST and believes
in him, to save him from
sins: his sins are forgiven,
GOD himself forgives the
person’s sins, the person is
reconciled to GOD and
accepted by GOD and
accepted to live eternally
with GOD , all because
JESUS CHRIST died as the
sacrifice for our sins, He
paid the ransom price to
deliver the person from the
penalty of sin.

|
IF A SOUL SIN AND
COMMIT A TRESPASS
UNTO THE LORD AND LIE
UNTO HIS NEIGHBOR
All sin is against the LORD,
which is contrary to his
nature and will and a
transgression
For every sin against man is
against the LORD,, because
it is a violation of human
society and GOD alone was

committed against the
LORD and the person is
unfaithful to the LORD.

PSALM 40:6-8

6)Sacrifice and offering
thou didst not desire: mine
ears hast thou opened:
burnt offering and sin
offering hast thou not
required
7)Then said I, Lo, I come: in
the volume of the book it is
written of me,
|
SACRIFICE AND OFFERING
THOU DIDST NOT DESIRE
Sacrifice and offering thou
didst not desire: the LORD
saw nothing satisfactory in
various offering of the
ceremonial law, he cares
not for the flesh of bull of
and goats, he did not will
this or wish it: he will would
not be pleased with it in
comparison with obedience
or substitute for obedience
of the heart he preferred
obedience of the heart than
all imposing performance of
ritualistic worship of any
external rites and forms,
which have no value
without obedience: they
could not be substituted in
place of obedience.
The LORD delights in the
attitude and character of
making an offering more
than the offering it self, the
LORD requires obedience
more, or rather, than
sacrifices as was said in
1 SAMUEL 15:22 but in
proper and full sense ,they
belong to the person and
time of Messiah, in whose
name David utters these
words.
GOD did not desire or
require sacrifice for the
satisfaction of his own
justice and compensation of
men sins, which could not
be possibly done by the
blood of bulls or goats, as is
said in HEBREWS 10:4-10,
but only by the blood of
CHRIST, which CHRIST came
into the world to shed, in
pursuance of his FATHER’S
will, so here is a prediction
concerning the termination
of legal sacrifice, and the
substitute by the blood of
JESUS.
David testified that the
LORD had opened his ears
so that he could understand
this great truth: GOD desire
obedience over sacrifice,
GOD had opened his ears
his understanding to
comprehend that he
speaking of one greater
than himself the coming
Messiah
GOD’S PLAN FOR
SALVATION ABOUT THE
COMING OF JESUS CHRIST
Lo I come here I am, a term
of an obedient servant
ready for service, Volume
of the book refers to the
scripture, as contained in
the old testament, there are
prophecies of GOD plan of
salvation through his son
coming to earth, these
prophecies were fulfilled in
the birth, life, and
resurrection of JESUS
CHRIST
