I think I have a problem.
Probably more than one.
But one in particular.
Recently.
That has been obvious to me.
No, I fib again. I'm aware of many shall we say "issues" that abound in me.
Not that I'm alone.
In seeing my problem, that is.
Or having a problem.
I doubt there are many of us who have no problems.
Some, are maybe a bit less obvious than others.
But we all have some.
Der!
But that's not my point.
I have this problem.
The one I started typing about earlier.
And when I say it's become obvious to me.
I mean PAINFULLY obvious.
Not painful as in a physical pain.
But it's just really, really obvious to the point of "pain".
Yes, metaphorical pain.
Not literal pain.
Maybe it's not even that.
It's just annoying that it may have been around for a while, yet I have only just become aware of it.
Actually I'm not even sure if the word "pain" should be used in this case.
Okay.
I have a problem.
I just can't remember what it is now.
What a pain!
Nothing to write about now.
Bother.
Leviticus 3
The burning of the peace offering. It would appear that excellence of the animal sacrificed is required. Actually demanded.
There would be no cost in sacrificing something inferior. A blemished animal would not be valued by the owner hence tarnishing the value of the offering.
Sort of defeating the purpose.
I assume the peace offering was a kind of chance for reconciliation between the offerer and God.
More than a chance.
I need to stop talking in indefinitive terms.
Grrrr.
Sincerity dictates the perfect offering be given.
I wonder, with the number of sacrifices that were carried out, how hard did it become to find an unblemished animal?
Did this in turn increase the value of the sacrifice?
If unblemished animals were required, how much care would be given to those animals required for the sacrifices?
You know, to ensure supply.
There was a need for a special sacrifice to provide the way to peace with God.
Very special.
