The young bull, a valuable offering, signifies the seriousness of sin and the costliness of atonement. The act of slaughtering "before the LORD" emphasizes that the sacrifice is made in the presence of God, highlighting His holiness and the need for purification. This foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who was offered once for all to atone for sin (<a href="/hebrews/9-12.htm">Hebrews 9:12-14</a>).and Aaron’s sons the priests are to present the blood The priests, descendants of Aaron, serve as mediators between God and the people. Presenting the blood signifies the life given in exchange for sin, as blood represents life (<a href="/leviticus/17-11.htm">Leviticus 17:11</a>).

After having made the presentation, the offerer proceeds to the second part of the sacrifice, the immolation or slaying, which was to be performed before the Lord, that is, in front of the tabernacle, on the north side of the brazen altar. Then follows the third part of the sacrifice: the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar. The priests caught the blood (sometimes the Levites were allowed to do this, <a href="/2_chronicles/30-16.htm">2 Chronicles 30:16</a>), and sprinkled or rather threw it round about on the altar, that is, so as to touch all the inner sides of the altar. "A red line all round the middle of the altar marked that above it the blood of sacrifices intended to be eaten, below it that of sacrifices wholly consumed, was to be sprinkled" (Edersheim, 'The Temple'). This was in some respects the most essential part of the ceremony, the blood representing the life (chapter 17:11), which was symbolically received at the hands of the offerer, and presented by the priests to God. In the antitype our Lord exercised the function of the sacrificing priest when he presented his own life to the Father, as he hung upon the altar of the cross. <a href="/commentaries/leviticus/1-5.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>And he shall slaughter וְשָׁחַ֛ט (wə·šā·ḥaṭ) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7819.htm">Strong's 7819: </a> To slaughter, beat the bull הַבָּקָ֖ר (hab·bā·qār) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1241.htm">Strong's 1241: </a> Beef cattle, ox, a herd before לִפְנֵ֣י (lip̄·nê) Preposition-l | Noun - common plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6440.htm">Strong's 6440: </a> The face the LORD, יְהוָ֑ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel and Aaron’s אַהֲרֹ֤ן (’a·hă·rōn) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_175.htm">Strong's 175: </a> Aaron -- an elder brother of Moses sons בֶּ֥ן (ben) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son the priests הַֽכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ (hak·kō·hă·nîm) Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3548.htm">Strong's 3548: </a> Priest are to present וְ֠הִקְרִיבוּ (wə·hiq·rî·ḇū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7126.htm">Strong's 7126: </a> To come near, approach the blood הַדָּ֔ם (had·dām) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1818.htm">Strong's 1818: </a> Blood, of man, an animal, the juice of the grape, bloodshed and sprinkle וְזָרְק֨וּ (wə·zā·rə·qū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2236.htm">Strong's 2236: </a> Be here and there, scatter, sprinkle, strew it הַדָּ֤ם (had·dām) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1818.htm">Strong's 1818: </a> Blood, of man, an animal, the juice of the grape, bloodshed on all sides סָבִ֔יב (sā·ḇîḇ) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5439.htm">Strong's 5439: </a> A circle, neighbour, environs, around of עַל־ (‘al-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against the altar הַמִּזְבֵּ֙חַ֙ (ham·miz·bê·aḥ) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4196.htm">Strong's 4196: </a> An altar that אֲשֶׁר־ (’ă·šer-) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that is at the entrance פֶּ֖תַח (pe·ṯaḥ) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6607.htm">Strong's 6607: </a> An opening, door, entrance way to the Tent אֹ֥הֶל (’ō·hel) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_168.htm">Strong's 168: </a> A tent of Meeting. מוֹעֵֽד׃ (mō·w·‘êḏ) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4150.htm">Strong's 4150: </a> Appointed time, place, or meeting <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/leviticus/1-5.htm">Leviticus 1:5 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/leviticus/1-5.htm">Leviticus 1:5 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/leviticus/1-5.htm">Leviticus 1:5 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/leviticus/1-5.htm">Leviticus 1:5 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/leviticus/1-5.htm">Leviticus 1:5 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/leviticus/1-5.htm">Leviticus 1:5 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/leviticus/1-5.htm">Leviticus 1:5 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/leviticus/1-5.htm">Leviticus 1:5 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/leviticus/1-5.htm">Leviticus 1:5 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/leviticus/1-5.htm">Leviticus 1:5 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/leviticus/1-5.htm">OT Law: Leviticus 1:5 He shall kill the bull before Yahweh (Le Lv Lev.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/leviticus/1-4.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Leviticus 1:4"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Leviticus 1:4" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/leviticus/1-6.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Leviticus 1:6"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Leviticus 1:6" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
