A sacrifice completely consumed by fire — holding nothing back from God
lightbulbThe whole animal goes up in smoke — total dedication, holding nothing back
The most fundamental OT sacrifice. Unlike other offerings where parts were eaten, the burnt offering was entirely consumed on the altar — symbolizing total dedication and surrender to God. It was offered daily in the Temple, morning and evening. The worshiper laid hands on the animal's head, identifying with it. Leviticus 1 details the procedure. The message: God deserves everything, not just your leftovers.
