What is significant about the bull from the herd without blemish that the anointed priest must offer?
The grave nature of the priest’s sin is highlighted by the valuable animal he was to bring to the Lord. A bull was the largest animal that was prescribed for the purification offering. The only other occasion where it is mentioned is where it concerns the sin of the whole nation (Leviticus 4:13–21).
3 Si c'est le sacrificateur ayant reçu l'onction qui a péché et a rendu par là le peuple coupable, il offrira à l'Eternel, pour le péché qu'il a commis, un jeune taureau sans défaut, en sacrifice d'expiation.
