3. a burnt sacrifice —so called from its being wholly consumed on the altar; no part of it was eaten either by the priests or the offerer. It was designed to propitiate the anger of God incurred by original sin, or by particular transgressions; and its entire combustion indicated the self-dedication of the offerer—his whole nature—his body and soul—as necessary to form a sacrifice acceptable to God ( Romans 12:1 ; Philippians 1:20 ). This was the most ancient as well as the most conspicuous mode of sacrifice. a male without blemish —No animal was allowed to be offered that had any deformity or defect. Among the Egyptians, a minute inspection was made by the priest; and the bullock having been declared perfect, a certificate to that effect being fastened to its horns with wax, was sealed with his ring, and no other might be substituted. A similar process of examining the condition of the beasts brought as offerings, seems to have been adopted by the priests in Israel ( Philippians 1:20- : ). at the door of the tabernacle —where stood the altar of burnt offering ( Philippians 1:20- : ). Every other place was forbidden, under the highest penalty ( Leviticus 17:4 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-4" class="com-number"
