Leviticus 1

We begin Leviticus by bringing offerings unto the Lord. Some guidelines:
  • Bulls: Kill an unblemished male, and Aaron's sons will sprinkle the blood around the tabernacle door just the way God likes it. Skin the animal and chop it into pieces. Make sure you set the pieces and parts on the fire in a very specific order, or else. The innards and legs are to be washed then burned.
  • Sheep and Goats:  Kill an unblemished male on the north side of the altar, and Aaron's sons will sprinkle the blood around the altar just the way God likes it. Again with the skinning, chopping and specific ordering of the guts on the fire. The innards and legs are to be washed then burned.
  • Turtledoves and Pigeons:  Kill it, then rip off its head. Squeeze out its blood on the side of the altar. Pluck the feathers on the east side of the altar. Crack the skeleton, but don't break it completely in half. Toss with olive oil and bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the bird comes out clean.
Apparently God really enjoys roasted meat. This sweet savour unto the Lord will be an atonement for your sins.
