PORTION COMMENTARY
OBEDIENCE AND SACRIFICE
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: What gift can you get for the God who already has everything? The Hebrew word for sacrifice, korban, could be translated as “something brought near,” or to put it another way, it could be translated as “gift.” The Israelites were to view the sacrifices as gifts that they could bring to God.

COMMENTARY: He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, that it may be accepted for him to make atonement on his behalf. (Leviticus 1:4)
