of other animal sacrifices which were offered to the Lord.
Sin-offerings were burned without the camp. p. 86, Para.
3, [LOOKING].
Among the different kinds of offerings were (1) the national,
or those offered in behalf of the whole nation; (2)
the official, or those by the priests and rulers purely as
officials; and (3) the personal, or those presented for individuals.
the priesthood was the Aaronic, or Levitical,
the tribe of Levi having been set apart for this work. The
high-priesthood was at first confined to the family of
Aaron. The national offerings embraced the serial, festal,
and occasional extraordinary offerings. The serial offerings
embraced the daily ministration in the sanctuary, and
consisted of the regular morning and evening burnt offering
(Ex. 29:38-43), the burning of sweet incense on the golden
altar of incense every morning when the high priest dressed
the lamps, and every evening when he lighted them (Exodus
30); the additional work appointed for the Sabbaths of the
Lord; and the annual sabbaths, new moons, and feasts. Numbers
28, 29. The official offerings are sufficiently indicated
by their names. But that part of the service devoted
to individual offerings was the larger and more important
part of the ministration, and in accordance with the scope
of this work demands more particular consideration. p. 87,
Para. 1, [LOOKING].
The ministration in behalf of individual sinners, consisted
of several impressive and solemn stages. Chief among
these were the following: When a person had sinned, he procured
for himself such a victim as the law prescribed,
which was to be put to death in his stead. This victim he
brought to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle. He
then laid his hand upon the head of the victim, and confessed
over him his sin. The offerer, by presenting himself
and his victim before the priest, performed a solemn religious
act: -- p. 87, Para. 2, [LOOKING].
"To come to the altar was to come to the Lord; to come
with a willing and obedient mind, fulfilling the conditions
of the law, was to ask for a share in the promises thereto
attached. Next came the imposition of the hand. The victim
having been solemnly presented, the offerer forcibly laid
his hand upon its head; his hand, whoever he might be,
priest or laymen, king or elder. The act was a dedication
of the victim to the purpose for which it was brought." (1)
