The burnt offering symbolizes complete dedication to God, as the entire animal is consumed by fire. This act of presenting the ram is a foreshadowing of Christ's ultimate sacrifice, where He offered Himself wholly to God for the atonement of humanity's sins. The burnt offering is one of the oldest forms of sacrifice, dating back to <a href="/genesis/8-20.htm">Genesis 8:20</a> when Noah offered burnt offerings after the flood.<p><b>and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head</b><br>The laying on of hands is a symbolic act of identification and transfer. By placing their hands on the ram, Aaron and his sons identify with the animal, symbolically transferring their sins and the sins of the people onto it. This act signifies the substitutionary nature of the sacrifice, pointing forward to Jesus Christ, who bore the sins of the world. This practice is also seen in <a href="/leviticus/16-21.htm">Leviticus 16:21</a> during the Day of Atonement, where the high priest lays hands on the scapegoat, transferring the sins of Israel onto it. This ritual underscores the necessity of a mediator and the concept of substitutionary atonement, which is fulfilled in Christ as described in <a href="/2_corinthians/5-21.htm">2 Corinthians 5:21</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites and God's chosen prophet who is responsible for consecrating Aaron and his sons as priests.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/a/aaron.htm">Aaron</a></b><br>The brother of Moses, appointed as the first high priest of Israel.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/a/aaron's_sons.htm">Aaron's Sons</a></b><br>The descendants of Aaron who are also being consecrated as priests.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_ram.htm">The Ram</a></b><br>An animal used for the burnt offering, symbolizing atonement and dedication to God.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_burnt_offering.htm">The Burnt Offering</a></b><br>A sacrificial act representing complete surrender and devotion to God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_leadership_in_worship.htm">The Role of Leadership in Worship</a></b><br>Moses, as a leader, facilitates the consecration process, showing the importance of godly leadership in guiding others in worship.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_the_burnt_offering.htm">Symbolism of the Burnt Offering</a></b><br>The burnt offering represents total dedication to God.
