Until that was accomplished no whole burnt offering could be offered up, an offering wholly consumed in fire. But then a young bull and a ram, both without blemish, could be offered as a whole (burnt) offering, an act of total self-giving, of worship, love and gratitude. But it would require seven days, the period of divine perfection, to thoroughly cleanse the altar. This sounds like something very intense and necessary, not at all like a memorial offering.<\/p>\n<p>&lsquo;And the priests shall cast salt on them.&rsquo; Compare <span class='bible'>Lev 2:13<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Num 18:19<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Mar 9:49<\/span>. The idea seems to be of a preservative function and a countering of corruption.
