Lv 1, 1-17

1 And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock. 3 If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD. 4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. 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. 6 And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces. 7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire: 8 And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar: 9 But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. 10 And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish. 11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar. 12 And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar: 13 But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. 14 And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons. 15 And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar: 16 And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes: 17 And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

Verš 3

If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.

Ex 29:10 - And thou shalt cause a bullock to be brought before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the bullock.

Lv 1,1 - O obetách pozri úvod do Levitika 2.1.

Lv 1,2 - Pre krvavé obety vyberali sa len najlepšie a najcennejšie domáce zvieratá. Tým sa naznačilo, že človek dáva za seba to, čo má preň najväčšiu cenu.

Lv 1,3 - Zápalná obeta, celostná žertva, bola najvznešenejšou obetou, pretože celá patrila Bohu. Ňou sa prejavovala pocta Bohu najúčinnejšie. Preto sa na túto obetu vyžadoval vždy samček, a to ako dokonalejší.

Lv 1,4 - Porov. Ex 29,10.15.19. Tento obrad sa konal pri celostných žertvách, pri pokojných a zmiernych obetách. Obrad konal ten, čo prinášal obetu, a nie kňaz. Chcelo sa tým znázorniť predovšetkým to, že obetujúci namiesto vlastného života dáva kus zo svojho imania. Na druhom mieste vkladanie rúk označovalo aj vloženie vlastných hriechov na obetné zviera.

Lv 1,5 - Spočiatku obetné zviera zabíjal sám obetujúci, neskoršie sa stalo zvykom, že to robievali kňazi (2 Krn 29,22; 30,16). – Podľa Lv 17,11 život zvieraťa je v jeho krvi. Obetovaním a rozlievaním krvi názorne sa naznačuje, že Bohu prináleží všetok život, že Boh je najvyšším Pánom života a smrti. Takto krv zvieraťa je symbolom ponuky vlastného života Bohu, ktorému patrí každý ľudský život. – Kňazi zachytávali krv do osobitných nádob a potom ju rozlievali okolo oltára zápalných obiet (Hebr 12,24; 1 Pt 1,2). Tento úkon naznačoval, že Pán prijíma obetu.

Lv 1,9 - Úplné spálenie obety Pán prijímal s úľubou. To značia slová "príjemnej vône pre Pána". Celostnou žertvou sa najvýraznejšie prejavovala oddanosť Pánovi a pocit závislosti od Boha.

Lv 1,16 - Hebrejský text má miesto hrvoľa "vnútornosti" a namiesto peria "to, čím sú vnútornosti naplnené", trus. Celostné žertvy boli celonárodné alebo súkromné. Celostnú žertvu mohol priniesť aj cudzinec, ostatné obety však nie.
