One Sacrifice Only!
Leviticus 17:1-5
"1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them; This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, saying, 3 What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp, 4 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people: 5 To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the LORD." |
Looking for loopholes? God knew that the people of Israel would take advantage of any loopholes they could find in His laws and many more would boldly defy the law. This was a people who had lived for 450 years with the pantheistic religions, traditions and culture of the Egyptians. They had grown up with the traditions of making sacrifices to multiple gods, but that practice had to stop immediately. MORE>>>>
