Leviticus 1:5 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Was not this killing of the bullock, a representation, that the Lord Jesus, should suffer by his death, on the cross, for the sins of his people? 1 Peter 3:18. And by the sprinkling of the blood, was it not meant to signify, that the merits of Jesus's death, and righteousness, must be applied to the sinner, who is made the happy partaker of salvation? Hebrews 12:24. Did not the sprinkling of the blood round about the Altar, teach the preciousness of Christ's atonement, in the Godhead of his person? 1 Peter 1:2.

Leviticus 1:5

5 And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
