Leviticus 1: Bring a Burnt Offering

The word for this is “holocaust.” This offering was entirely burned to the Lord. Note that it was—when offered correctly—a sweet aroma to Him. In order to be well-pleasing to Jehovah, the plan outlined in this chapter needed to be followed. Where there were options, the worshipper could choose; where there were no options, he could not.  Let us learn from the law of the burnt offering that when we give something to the Lord, it is His—all of it.
