What happensPermalink
God gives Moses instructions about public offerings made on behalf of the whole nation: each day, each Sabbath, each month, each Passover, and each Feast of Weeks.
Why it mattersPermalink
The sacrificial system is critical to the daily lives of Israel, keeping them connected to and righteous before God and His laws. Israel cannot possibly supply all these animals without conquering Canaan, so God’s instructions imply God will provide.
Key versePermalink
“Command the people of Israel and say to them, ‘My offering, my food for my food offerings, my pleasing aroma, you shall be careful to offer to me at its appointed time.’”
