The act of skinning the animal was a meticulous process, symbolizing the removal of the outer layer to expose what is beneath, which can be seen as a metaphor for repentance and the stripping away of sin. This process was performed by the offerer, indicating personal involvement in the sacrificial act. The skin of the animal was given to the priest as part of their provision (<a href="/leviticus/7-8.htm">Leviticus 7:8</a>), highlighting the support of the priesthood through the offerings of the people.<p><b>and cut it into pieces.</b><br>The cutting of the offering into pieces was a detailed and deliberate act, ensuring that the sacrifice was prepared according to God's instructions. This process allowed for the entire animal to be consumed by fire, symbolizing total dedication and surrender to God. The division into parts can also be seen as a type of Christ, whose body was broken for humanity (<a href="/1_corinthians/11-24.htm">1 Corinthians 11:24</a>). Each piece of the offering was arranged on the altar, signifying order and completeness in worship. This act of cutting and arranging parallels the New Testament teaching of presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God (<a href="/romans/12.htm">Romans 12:1</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>- The author of Leviticus, who received the laws and instructions from God on Mount Sinai.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/a/aaron_and_his_sons.htm">Aaron and His Sons</a></b><br>- The priests who were responsible for performing the sacrifices and rituals as outlined in Leviticus.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tabernacle.htm">The Tabernacle</a></b><br>- The central place of worship for the Israelites, where sacrifices were offered.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_burnt_offering.htm">The Burnt Offering</a></b><br>- A type of sacrifice in which the entire animal was consumed by fire, symbolizing complete dedication to God.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>- The people of God who were given these laws to maintain holiness and fellowship with God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_the_burnt_offering.htm">Symbolism of the Burnt Offering</a></b><br>The burnt offering represents total surrender and dedication to God.
