Read It With

  • Leviticus 4:1-12

Read through 4:1-12 and watch how each actor, material, status, or command relates. Leviticus 4:11 lists skin, flesh, head, legs, entrails, and dung as the remaining bull; the whole unit establishes this: An anointed priest who sins inadvertently brings a bull; blood reaches the veil and incense altar, fat is burned, and the rest is taken outside the camp.

Why It Needs Context

Leviticus 4:11 lists skin, flesh, head, legs, entrails, and dung as the remaining bull; reading it alone would sever that detail from the actors, category, and outcome in Leviticus 4:1-12.
