What does the Bible say about bullock?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible presents the bullock as a valuable sacrificial animal, especially used in offerings for sin, consecration, worship, and thanksgiving under the old covenant. In Exodus 29:10-14, a bullock was offered for the priests’ sin, showing that even those who served at the altar needed cleansing before God. Leviticus 4:8 and 4:16 describe its use in sin offerings, while Numbers 7:87-88 records bulls brought in Israel’s joyful dedication worship. Numbers 28:11-31 and Numbers 29 prescribe bullocks for appointed feasts, testifying to God’s holiness and His people’s need for atonement. These sacrifices ultimately point to Christ, whose once-for-all offering accomplishes the forgiveness they foreshadowed.
