Leviticus 1:3 If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish… One obvious reason seems to be this — there was a necessity, for the sake of order, that there should be a separate place for killing the oxen and the sheep. No quarter of the heavens was sacred; and since, at other times, the sacrifice was presented on the east side, a variety like this answered the purpose of proclaiming that Jesus is offered to any soul in any nation, east or north, i.e., from east to west, north to south; His death is presented to the view of all, to be behoved "by men as, soon as they see it." Look unto Me and be ye saved, all ends of the earth. (A. A. Bonar.) Parallel Verses KJV: If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD. |
