  2. Explication du texte

Why did David sacrifice an ox and a fattened animal?

2 Samuel 6:13 (NEG79)

13 Quand ceux qui portaient l'arche de l'Eternel eurent fait six pas, on sacrifia un bœuf et un veau gras.

The sacrifice of an ox and a fattened animal was either meant to atone for sin (see Leviticus 1:4) or to sanctify the land for the journey of the ark from the house of Obed-edom to Jerusalem. 1
