Leviticus chapter 1

After reading Leviticus chapter 1:

*This book is named Leviticus because it pertains to instructions that are pertinent to the priestly class who are from the clan of Levi.

*In this chapter, Yahweh gives Moses specific detailed instructions for how the Israelites are to sacrifice a bull, a sheep or goat, and a dove or pigeon, as a burnt offering. The person making a livestock offering is to slaughter the animal  himself. The priests will sprinkle its blood on the sides of the altar. Then it is to be cut in pieces and washed. All of it is to be burnt up, which begs the question: Why did it need to be washed if it was going to be burnt to a crisp? The birds are to be killed by the priests wringing off their heads. They will drain the blood, remove the digestive system, and tear it open before they burn it. Apparently God doesn't like blood or guts in his offerings. When it is done the way he likes it, the burnt offering will smell great to him, even though he can't eat it. Neither can anyone else, which is a waste of good meat.

Edited.
