  2. Explication du texte

To what does the burnt offering refer?

Lévitique 6:2 (NEG79)

2 Donne cet ordre à Aaron et à ses fils, et dis:Voici la loi de l'holocauste. L'holocauste restera sur le foyer de l'autel toute la nuit jusqu'au matin, et le feu brûlera sur l'autel.

The burnt offering in Leviticus 6:8 does not refer to those offerings which the Hebrews would bring to the temple of their own accord. Rather, this offering refers to the daily burnt offerings which were offered by the priests every morning and evening on behalf of the community of Israel (see Numbers 28:3–8). These offerings were first introduced in Exodus 29:38–42.
