Slaying the animal is slaying your own sins.

Q4. (Leviticus 1:3-9) In the burnt offering for an individual's sin: What is the significance of the offerer laying his hand on the animal's head?

The system God set up with Israel to atone for their sins was seen as the Israelite put his hand on the animals head, signifying his sins were transferred on the animal, reconciling him to God in forgiveness and harmony.

Why do you think the offerer is to slay the sacrifice rather than having the priest do it?

Sin is a personal matter between the Israelite and God, and sin becomes more of a reality when one has to slay a perfect, innocent animal to cover ones sin. God wants mankind to recognize the seriousness of sin, it comes with a price.

How is the animal's blood significant in sacrifice? Lev. 17:11 the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls

In what ways does Jesus' sacrifice on the cross fulfill all of this?

Israels sins were truly covered as God said, the blood of bulls and goats were a system set up for Israel to atone for their souls, however, Jesus sacrifice brought atonement not just for Israel as promised, but also for the sins of the world.

The blood of bull and goats were not able to take Paradise out and put it in heaven, the blood of bulls and goats could not take back dominion that was lost by the first Adam, the blood of bulls and goats could not open the seals of Gods justice, the blood of bulls and goats could not give to all who believe in Christ, Israel's promised Messiah the Holy Spirit, the blood of bulls and goats could not atone for the sins of the world once for all, it is only by the blood of Gods Lamb.

The person is to do the slaying because it is the person in sin.

the animal blood is signicant because it is for the person sin that the priest have to sprinkle on the altar.

Jesus sacritise because he took the place of the animal.

[linda bass]

The significance of the offerer laying his hand on the animal's head in the burnt offering for individual sin is,a symbolic gesture of the sin of the person being transferred to the animal.

I think the reason the offerer was to slay the sacriface rather than have the priest to it was as a reminder that the penalty for sin is death. Also to show that his rebellion against God resulted in the death of the innocent animal that took his punishment.

The animal's blood is significant in the sacriface because life is in the blood.

Christ was the ultimate sacriface. He is the perfect Lamb without blemish or defect. We have been redeemed from our sins once and for all through the shedding of Christ's blood,

Burnt offerings were for many things-sin's yet, but also for thanksgiving. The laying on of hands is a representative of Jesus's laying on us as in prayer. The priests weren't suppose to kill or touch anything unclean. The blood signifies Jesus sacrifice on the cross. In the New Testament Jesus' death on the cross replaced the blood sacrifices.

The significance of the offerer laying of hands on the animals: The offerer is impacting his own sin to the animal God has accepted as a substitute for his sins.

In order for the sacrifice to be acceptable the offerer/sinner must slaughter the animal.

it's the blood that makes atonement for ones life Leviticus 17:11

Jesus Christ is the ultimate sacrifice. We have been redeemed with the precious blood of Jesus Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.

 

[J BEN CHRISTOPHER]

(Leviticus 1:3-9) In the burnt offering for an individual's sin: What is the significance of the offerer laying his hand on the animal's head?

The laying on of hands confers the offerer's transfer of his sins to the animal. “Transubstantiation “. An act, that changes the form or character or substance of something.  Also similar to the doctrine that the whole substance of the bread and the wine changes into the substance of the body and blood of Christ when consecrated in the Eucharist

Why do you think the offerer is to slay the sacrifice rather than having the priest do it?

The priest must first check the animal that it is free from blemish, only then it is fit to be sacrificed, but the slaying part is done the sinner is for him to see the pain with which the animal dies in his own eyes for the sins he has committed. At least next time he will not commit the sin anymore. Secondly it is an voluntary act of an individual, and no one interferes.  In the case of Jesus the Pharisees, Sadducees, the Scribes, the Herodias and the Governor of the land, checked Jesus in all aspects before Jesus  went to calvary and found him without blemish. Further, it was Jesus who gave his life to be crucified and no one killed him. This is an voluntary act of Jesus to submit himself to be sacrificed.

How is the animal's blood significant in sacrifice?

When Adam & Eve sinned they found themselves naked and tried to cover their nakedness, but God himself instituted the principle of Animal sacrifice and took the skin and gave them as a covering (temporal). But we must remember this was the first time ever that the blood was shed in this earth to cover the sin.  

In what ways does Jesus' sacrifice on the cross fulfill all of this?

In continuation of the above principle, at an appropriate time God took the FORM of MAN and came to this world as Jesus Christ, and shed his blood. Again remember that this the blood of God, which is not like any human blood which has sin running through it. We are born in sin, and born out of man and women copulation. But Jesus was born from a virgin, and we don’t know what kind of blood it is, but one thing is sure it is the PUREST blood without sin, which is acceptable to God the Father as atonement for the sins of mankind. Jesus knew no sin, and he is as innocent like an animal which is brought to be slain.

Why do you think the offerer is to slay the sacrifice rather than having the priest do it?

How is the animal's blood significant in sacrifice?

In what ways does Jesus' sacrifice on the cross fulfill all of this?

By laying his hands on the animal's head, the offerer, is confessing his sins and laying them on the innocent lesser being.  The animal was taking his place.

 The offerer slays the sacrifice , to make it personal and more real.  

Life is in the blood.  So the blood makes atonement for ones life.  

I was guilty of sin and should have been killed, but Christ came and took my sins upon Himself, then He offered Himself up to be beaten so His blood was spilt for the atonement of my life. He gave His life for me.  He took my place. Thank You Lord for this MERCY and GRACE.

[Krissi]

 The bible verse that has to do with putting our hands on the head of the sacrificed animal is found in Leviticus 1.3, ““If the offering is a Whole-Burnt-Offering from the herd, present a male without a defect at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting that it may be accepted by God. Lay your hand on the head of the Whole-Burnt-Offering so that it may be accepted on your behalf to make atonement for you.”

Putting our hand on the animal about to be killed somehow connects the sinful human to the animal, specifically to the animal’s blood. It’s a practice that’s also practiced in New Testament times by the laying on of hands to bless, heal,  anoint with oil and, most interestingly, to impart or acknowledge a gift of the spirit or special assignment by God. Such a ritual is tangible; a physical re-enactment of some sort of divine transference that cannot be seen.

What happens in the animal sacrifice of the Old Testament is that the sinful person’s curse is transferred to the animal via the physical connection of the person’s hands on that animal. Frankly, i"m surprised that we don't have to plunge our hands in blood rather than put our hands on the head of the animal; so much of this is beyond what I can understand. 

I suppose the person making the sacrifice has to kill the animal because it symbolizes the killing of his own sin. The entire animal is burnt after the priest tosses the blood on the altar which may suggest that the entire sin has been burnt and therefore released or eliminated.

I don’t understand why God chose this rather brutal way of eliminating sin. It’s not for me to know. I’m certain that the repulse I feel toward murdering an innocent, flawless, male animal was NOT felt in Old Testament times. They were used to killing animals for food, not going to Safeway to pick up a piece of bloodless meat neatly tucked under cellophane. Food in ancient eras had to be hung, I’ve been told, to drain the blood out of the animal before it could be cooked and eaten. Today, we spent effort to rid the meat of blood – in the Bible, our effort is spent collecting the blood. Blood to represents the life force in the animal, it’s “spirit” so to speak.

For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life. 

Actually, the person sacrificing doesn’t collect the blood, but  rather the priests. I’m not certain why it’s important for the person to kill the animal but not collect it’s blood, though perhaps the “holiness” of the blood renders it untouchable by mere non-priests.

When Jesus was sacrificed on the cross, he was the last blood offering to God. Jesus’ blood “took away” the sins of the world. Jesus as a man was sacrificed so that His blood could be metaphorically “shed” on the cross as an altar to eliminate the sins of those who desired and understood, though through a glass darkly, what getting rid of one’s past sins really means. His life gave us life; the life of Jesus was in His blood (as was that of an animal) and the blood makes “atonement” for our sinful lives. This satisfies God.

“The blood makes atonement for one’s life.”  It’s interesting that the atonement isn’t for the sin, or described as such, but for our lives, as if everything we do has to be purified and atoned for.
