Shortly after the fall of man, human rescue plan was unveiled by “his wife's seed" ( Gen 3.15, Gal 3.16 ).

To enforce the plan, Christ had to die for sinners ( John 1.29, 2 Cor 5.21, 1 Pet 3.18, Rev 13.8 ).

 

The Lord of the believers, the repentant sinners show their faith, SACRIFICE for SIN, faith without works is dead                ( Heb 11.6, Jac 2.14-20 ).

 

Only clean the victim without blemish, was pleasing to God. They served as the prototype of Christ, pure and immaculate ( Gen 8.20 , Lev 4.8 ). It follows that the law distinguishes clean animals from unclean, was known since the fall of man ( Gen 8.20, Lev 11.1-23 ).

 

Initially, the Sin offering forgiveness on a special altar ( Gen 8.20, 12.7-8 ), and after the Israeli withdrawal from Egypt it fall on the altar with Saints-College ( Lev 4.1-7 ). A repentant sinner should be putting their hands on the sacrifice for sin, confess your SIN ( Lev 16.21, 4.4 ) and then kill her. Then his sins were forgiven him and he reconciles himself with God ( Lev 24.27-31 ).

 

In Israel there were special offerings:

for the sin of priesthood ( Lev 4.1-5)

for the sin of society ( v.13-15 )

for the sin of ( v.22-26 )

for the sin of the people ( v. 27, 28, 32, 33 )

The sins of priests and society were in the sanctuary through the blood of the Sin offering, which is sprinkled before the veil ( Lev 4.3-6, 14-17 ).

The sins of the people were in the sanctuary of priests who ate the meat of the Sin offering in the holy place ( Lev  4.23-25, 28-30 ).

In addition to the Sin offerings, Israel was supposed to bring back other victims, namely:

a) different burnt offering  ( Lev 1.1-3,10,14)

b) victim of shewbread  ( Lev 2.1-2 ), giving the cob ( Lev 2.12 ), libation of wine ( Lev 23.13 )

c) different victims of peace ( Lev 3.1, 6.7,12 )

d) victim service ( Lev 5.15, see Matt 5.23-24 )

 

The daily sacrifice of the Lamb with the bread an offering and its drink, brought in the morning and in the evening       ( Num 28.3-8 ).

Every Saturday brought two lambs with an offering and its drink, bread in the morning and in the evening ( Num 28.4, 9-10 ).

Special sacrifices were required during the Sabbaths, annual holidays and annual Sabbaths ( Num 28.11-31 ).

 

In various cases, the Lord sent fire from heaven in approval of this ( Lev 9.24, 2 Par 7.1, Gen 4.4 ).

 

Aliens and the pagans who are willing to serve the true God, had to obey the same laws of sacrifices ( Num 15.27-31, 1 Sam  8.41-43, Mal 1.11 ).

 

The law of sacrifice was recorded in the Pentateuch.

The act ended when Christ is the TRUE VICTIM, died on the cross:

"And adopt a testament for many days, and in one half of the seven-years-period will stop the sacrifice and offering"   ( Dan 9.27 ).

"He took it from the environment and nailing it to the cross" ( Col 2.14 ).
