Leviticus 7 continues the instruction around the different offerings. What a list there is. I am glad God made it easy for us today with replacing all these individual offerings with the blood of Jesus. There is one simple way to come to Him today. Here is a list that Moses instructs on just in this chapter:
- Compensation Offering
- Whole Burnt Offering
- Absolution Offering
- Grain Offering
- Peace Offering
- Thanksgiving Offering
- Contribution Offering
- Votive Offering
- Freewill Offering
- Wave Offering
- Ordination Offering
Wow – that is quite a list and there are more than defined in this chapter. God knew we couldn’t handle this many different offering to keep track of evidently because He changed the system and covered all our sin with Jesus.
It is interesting that the sacrificial meat had some very specific rules along with it. “Eat the meat …..the same day it is offered. Don’t leave any of it overnight.” Sounds like a meatlovers paradise to me. God has some very strict rules on what the priests could do with the meat that was on the altar. It was holy and needed to be eaten in a holy place, but the big thing is it had to be eaten the day it was sacrificed and could not be saved. That would be enough to make me be interested in working there….but I am sure it actually was a whole lot more work than eating to serve.
