The first 5 chapters of Leviticus deal with 5 different offerings, with chapter 5 being the only one that doesn't neatly start with the offering and end with the same offering. Each of these offerings have different aspects that are interesting for us to point out. Each of them involve sacrifice and two of the first three are animal sacrifice (fellowship and burnt), with the last one being grain (aptly named grain). All of them are very defined and each of them have to be the best of the best or "without defect." This is clearly foreshadowing to Jesus – the ultimate sacrifice that is without defect. Each of them are for setting things right or for thanking God for what He has done. This is why we give a little bit on Sundays to Him. This is why we should offer Him our lives (Rom. 12:1-2). This book will seem boring unless you apply these truths to your life.
