63 - THE BURNT-OFFERING
Leviticus 1:2-3 -- 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'When any one of you brings an offering to the LORD, you shall bring your offering of the livestock--of the herd and of the flock. 3 If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the LORD.”
No offering was accepted of a Jew who worshipped idols, or who profaned the Sabbath publicly, since either of these transgressions was held equivalent to the rejection of the whole Torah.*
