DOWNWARD TRAJECTORY OF SIN (1B)
Leviticus 4:8-12
4:8 He shall take all the fat of the bull of the sin offering from it: the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards,
9 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall remove,
10 as it is removed from the bull of the sacrifice of peace offerings. The priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.
11 The bull’s skin, all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, its innards, and its dung,
12 he shall carry the whole bull outside of the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire. It shall be burned where the ashes are poured out.
Romans 1:22-23
1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things.
Paul begins with the idolatry of man and animals, while Leviticus addresses the animals that must be sacrificed for the priest’s sin.
