The burnt offering, or "olah" in Hebrew, was a sacrifice of atonement, symbolizing complete surrender to God. This act of slaughtering the offering was a foreshadowing of Christ's ultimate sacrifice, as He was the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (<a href="/john/1-29.htm">John 1:29</a>). The burnt offering was entirely consumed by fire, representing total dedication and the need for purification from sin.<p><b>His sons brought him the blood,</b><br>Aaron's sons, the priests, assisted in the sacrificial process, highlighting the importance of the priestly family in maintaining the covenant relationship between God and Israel.

This ritual act points to the comprehensive nature of Christ's atoning work, which cleanses believers from all sin (1 <a href="/john/1-7.htm">John 1:7</a>).
