The north side was considered a place of sacrifice and offering, aligning with the idea of presenting offerings directly before God. This specific location may symbolize the direction from which divine judgment and deliverance come, as seen in other biblical references to the north (e.g., <a href="/isaiah/14-13.htm">Isaiah 14:13</a>). The act of slaughtering the animal "before the LORD" emphasizes the offering's purpose as a means of atonement and worship, acknowledging God's holiness and the need for reconciliation with Him. This foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who was crucified to atone for humanity's sins, fulfilling the sacrificial system's requirements.<p><b>and Aaron’s sons the priests are to splatter its blood against the altar on all sides</b><br>The priests, specifically Aaron's sons, were responsible for the ritual duties associated with the sacrifices. Their role highlights the importance of mediation between God and the people, a theme that runs throughout the Old Testament. The act of splattering the blood against the altar on all sides signifies the comprehensive nature of atonement, covering all aspects of sin. Blood, representing life, was a crucial element in the sacrificial system, symbolizing purification and the sealing of covenants (<a href="/leviticus/17-11.htm">Leviticus 17:11</a>). This practice points to the New Testament understanding of Jesus' blood as the ultimate means of cleansing and redemption (<a href="/hebrews/9-22.htm">Hebrews 9:22</a>). The priests' actions prefigure Christ's role as the High Priest, who offers His own blood for the eternal redemption of believers.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_offerer.htm">The Offerer</a></b><br>The individual bringing the sacrifice, responsible for slaughtering the animal.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_altar.htm">The Altar</a></b><br>Located in the Tabernacle, the central place for sacrifices and offerings to God.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/a/aaron's_sons.htm">Aaron’s Sons (The Priests)</a></b><br>The descendants of Aaron, tasked with performing the priestly duties, including the sprinkling of blood.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD</a></b><br>The covenant God of Israel, to whom the sacrifices are offered.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_north_side_of_the_altar.htm">The North Side of the Altar</a></b><br>Specific location for the slaughtering of the offering, indicating order and reverence in worship.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_order_in_worship.htm">The Importance of Order in Worship</a></b><br>The specific instructions for the sacrifice highlight the importance of order and reverence in worship.
