description: (hide) David Grabbe, focusing upon the symbolism of the burnt offering, asserts that this offering depicts a total surrender to God with absolutely nothing held back. The level of commitment in the Days of Unleavened Bread, putting out sin and adding righteousness, emphasizes a life totally and steadfastly devoted to God as well as service to mankind. The imagery of the animals involved in the burnt offering – the ox, bullock, and lamb – is studied for its parallels in the New Covenant. Our lives should be a parallel of the burnt offering.
