The Statutes of Burnt Offerings
Lev 1:2-4 LSB - [2] "Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When any man from among you brings an offering near to Yahweh, you shall bring your offering of animals from the herd or the flock. [3] 'If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall bring it near, a male without blemish; he shall bring it near to the doorway of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before Yahweh. [4] 'And he shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, that it may be accepted for him to make atonement on his behalf.
Lev 1:9 LSB - [9] 'Its entrails, however, and its legs he shall wash with water. And the priest shall offer up in smoke all of it on the altar for a burnt offering, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to Yahweh.
Isaac Watts (1674-1748)
1 Not all the blood of beasts,
On Jewish altars slain,
Could give the guilty conscience peace,
Or wash away its stain.
2 But Christ, the heavenly Lamb,
Takes all our sins away;
A sacrifice of nobler name,
And richer blood than they.
3 My faith would lay her hand
On that dear head of Thine,
While like a penitent I stand,
And there confess my sin.
4 My soul looks back to see
The burdens Thou didst bear
When hanging on the cursed tree,
And knows her guilt was there.
5 Believing, we rejoice
To see the curse remove;
We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice,
And sing His bleeding love.

And the priest shall offer [it] up in smoke [as] its memorial portion on the altar, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to Yahweh.
