The use of a basket signifies order and preparation, ensuring that the offerings are presented in a manner befitting their sacred purpose. Baskets were common in ancient Israel for carrying goods, and their use here underscores the practical aspects of worship. The basket can also symbolize the gathering of God's provisions, reminiscent of the manna collected in the wilderness (<a href="/exodus/16-33.htm">Exodus 16:33</a>).<p><b>and present them in the basket</b><br>The act of presenting the offerings in the basket highlights the importance of intentionality in worship. This presentation is a formal act of dedication, setting apart the items for God's service. It reflects the broader biblical principle of offering the first and best to God, as seen in the sacrifices of Abel (<a href="/genesis/4-4.htm">Genesis 4:4</a>) and the instructions for firstfruits (<a href="/leviticus/23-10.htm">Leviticus 23:10</a>). The presentation also foreshadows the ultimate offering of Christ, who was presented as the perfect sacrifice (<a href="/hebrews/9-14.htm">Hebrews 9:14</a>).<p><b>along with the bull and the two rams</b><br>The bull and two rams are central to the consecration ceremony for Aaron and his sons. The bull was used for a sin offering, symbolizing atonement and purification (<a href="/leviticus/4-3.htm">Leviticus 4:3-12</a>). The two rams served different purposes: one for a burnt offering, representing complete dedication to God (<a href="/leviticus/1-3.htm">Leviticus 1:3-9</a>), and the other for a ram of ordination, signifying the priests' consecration to their sacred duties (<a href="/exodus/29-22.htm">Exodus 29:22-26</a>). These sacrifices prefigure Christ's atoning work, as He is both the sin offering and the one who consecrates believers as a royal priesthood (<a href="/1_peter/2-9.htm">1 Peter 2:9</a>). The use of multiple animals underscores the comprehensive nature of the atonement and dedication required for those serving in God's presence.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, chosen by God to deliver His people from Egypt and to receive the Law, including the instructions for the consecration of the priests.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/a/aaron_and_his_sons.htm">Aaron and His Sons</a></b><br>The first priests of Israel, chosen by God to serve in the tabernacle.
