Leviticus 9-10
Dear RTB’ers,
Question: What was Aaron’s first offering at the start of his ministry? Answer: A sin and burnt offering for himself and his sons, then sin, burnt, peace and grain offerings for the people. On the eighth day Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel, and he said to Aaron, “Take for yourself a bull calf for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, both without blemish, and offer them before the LORD. And say to the people of Israel, ‘Take a male goat for a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both a year old without blemish, for a burnt offering, and an ox and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD, and a grain offering mixed with oil…’” (Lev. 9:1-2) God showed His acceptance: …the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people. And fire came out from before the LORD and consumed the burnt offering and the pieces of fat on the altar… (Lev. 9:23b-24a) So, a further question for all of us: Thinking of our “offerings”, how does God show His acceptance of our “offerings” today?
Blessings!
