  2. Explication du texte

What does it mean for the burnt offering to be accepted?

Lévitique 1:3 (NEG79)

3 Si son offrande est un holocauste de gros bétail, il offrira un mâle sans défaut; il l'offrira à l'entrée de la tente d'assignation, devant l'Eternel, pour obtenir sa faveur.

The word acceptable (rāṣôn) is a technical term which means that a sacrifice has been effective to take care of one’s sins. In this sense, God’s acceptance of the sacrifice is the acceptance of the one who brings it.
