Leviticus Leviticus 5:1-13
Leviticus 5:1-13 does not add a new offering — it scales the same sin offering to the sinner's means: lamb, then two birds, then a tenth-ephah of flour stripped of oil and frankincense. The offering shrinks; the forgiveness does not.
Leviticus Leviticus 4:1-35
The fourth offering is the first no worshiper may refuse: brought for sin done unwittingly, its blood carried for the first time into the tent and sprinkled before the veil, each case sealed with the refrain “and it shall be forgiven.”
Leviticus Leviticus 3:1-17
The third offering of Leviticus is the only one the worshiper eats: the fat and the blood belong to the LORD, the breast and thigh to the priests, and the rest is carried to a table in God's presence.
Leviticus Leviticus 1:1-17
Exodus ended with a tent so full of glory that Moses could not enter it; Leviticus opens with a voice from inside that same tent, and the first word is how to draw near — the burnt offering, wholly consumed, accepted in the offerer's place, and rising as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
Exodus Exodus 29:38-46
After the last ritual law of the tabernacle block, Moses records the reason for all of it: the exodus from Egypt was for the purpose of YHWH's dwelling in Israel's midst.
Exodus Exodus 12:1-20
The blood goes on the outside of the door, where the family inside cannot see it — because it is a sign for God to read; and the verb the feast is named for does not mean to skip but to shelter, YHWH himself hovering over the marked house while the destroyer passes through Egypt.
Genesis Genesis 22:1-24
Seven theological terms make their canonical debut inside twenty-four verses; the Septuagint of Genesis 22 becomes the vocabulary the Father speaks at the Jordan, the verb Paul uses at Romans 8:32, the oath Hebrews 6 cites verbatim, and the verse Mary names at the Magnificat as fulfilled in the incarnation.
Genesis 8:15-9:7
Genesis 8:15-9:7 is the canonical first iteration of three load-bearing institutions and the verbal completion of a prophecy issued five generations earlier. Noah builds the first mizbeach, offers the first olah, and YHWH smells the first reach nichoach — and the aroma's Hebrew root (n-w-ch) is Noah's own name. The post-Flood charter then renews the Adamic mandate verbatim and grounds the lex talionis in tselem Elohim, an image whose LXX rendering eikōn lands at Col 1:15 on Christ.
Genesis 4:1–26
Genesis 4 is the fall enacted. Cain inherits Adam's vocation, is warned in the exact construction Eve was warned with, exiled eastward as Adam was exiled, and fails the shamar charge by killing the brother he was meant to keep. Yet within the same chapter the seed-line continues: Eve names Seth zera acher — another seed — and men begin to call on the name of Yahweh.
Ezekiel Ezekiel 39:17-21
Ezekiel 39:17-21 frames Gog's defeat as a sacrifice Yahweh himself officiates — a great zevach that deliberately inverts every element of the Levitical cult. Revelation 19 echoes LXX Ezekiel 39 directly and transforms the sacrifice into a supper, setting up the sharpest contrast in the entire book.
