Sacrifice, Summary"
(1) The first intimation of sacrifice is (Genesis 3:21) the "coats of skins" having obviously come from slain animals. The first clear instance of sacrifice is (Genesis 4:4) explained in (Hebrews 11:4). Abel's righteousness was the result of his sacrifice, not of his character.
(2) Before the giving of the law the head of the family was the family priest. By the law, an order of priests was established who alone could offer sacrifices. Those sacrifices were "shadows," types, expressing variously the guilt and need of the offerer in reference to God, and all pointing to Christ and fulfilled in Him.
