Leviticus 1 · Grade 4

Drawing Near to a Holy God

Name Date

Read and Think

Leviticus begins with God speaking to Moses from the Tent of Meeting. God had come to live among His people in the tabernacle. Now He showed them how sinful people could come near a holy God. The first offering He describes is the burnt offering.

A worshiper could bring a bull, a sheep, a goat, or a bird. The animal had to be a male without defect. The worshiper laid his hand on its head. This showed that the animal stood in his place. God said it would be accepted for him to make atonement.

The priests arranged the wood and the pieces on the altar, and the whole offering was burned. It rose as a pleasant aroma to the Lord. These offerings pointed ahead to Jesus. He gave Himself once for all, so that everyone who trusts Him is accepted by God.
