Thematic Bible: In consecration of offerings


Thematic Bible



Aaron will lay both his hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the Israelites’ wrongdoings and rebellious acts—all their sins. He is to put them on the goat’s head and send it away into the wilderness by the man appointed for the task.

He is to lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it at the entrance to the tent of meeting. Then Aaron’s sons the priests will sprinkle the blood on all sides of the altar.

He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering so it can be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.

The elders of the community are to lay their hands on the bull’s head before the Lord and it is to be slaughtered before the Lord.
