22 Then Moses presented the other ram, which was the ram of ordination. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the ram’s head, 23 and Moses slaughtered it. Then Moses took some of its blood and applied it to the lobe of Aaron’s right ear, the thumb of his right hand, and the big toe of his right foot. 24 Next Moses presented Aaron’s sons and applied some of the blood to the lobes of their right ears, the thumbs of their right hands, and the big toes of their right feet. He then splattered the rest of the blood against all sides of the altar.
25 Next Moses took the fat, including the fat of the broad tail, the fat around the internal organs, the long lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and the fat around them, along with the right thigh. 26 On top of these he placed a thin cake of bread made without yeast, a cake of bread mixed with olive oil, and a wafer spread with olive oil. All these were taken from the basket of bread made without yeast that was placed in the LORD’s presence. 27 He put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons, and he lifted them up as a special offering to the LORD. 28 Moses then took all the offerings back from them and burned them on the altar on top of the burnt offering. This was the ordination offering. It was a pleasing aroma, a special gift presented to the LORD. 29 Then Moses took the breast and lifted it up as a special offering to the LORD. This was Moses’ portion of the ram of ordination, just as the LORD had commanded him.
30 Next Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the altar, and he sprinkled them on Aaron and his garments and on his sons and their garments. In this way, he made Aaron and his sons and their garments holy. Leviticus 8:22-30
“Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the ram’s head” First I am wondering how tame are all these animals? Were they petting it or holding it still for Moses to slaughter? Think of how many livestock were used regularly for the sacrifices!
Remember all the care and craftsmanship that was used in building the altar and Aaron’s clothes? Then repeatedly blood was splattered all over it and on the nice garments?
Animal blood on Aaron’s ear, thumb and toe…….pouring blood at the base of the altar.
As you read today imagine the picture that is being described for us.
Finally one day the most precious blood was shed with the final sacrifice of a human body. It was a blood bath too! A whip of leather with thongs containing lead balls that once it met the flesh it would be like being shot with lead balls that would be immediately pulled out ripping meat and flesh digging a hole in the sacrifice with each lash. Over and over again it would go. Did you know that this was after a severe beating where this person was punched and taunted to guess who just hit him?
Once ended, the “sacrifice” probably experienced hypovolemic shock
This information is found on Wikki:
The 4 stages are sometimes known as the "Tennis" staging of hypovolemic shock, as the 4 stages of % volume of blood loss mimic the scores in a game of tennis: 15, 15-30, 30-40, 40. It is basically the same as used in classifying bleeding by blood loss.
Stage 1
- Up to 15% blood volume loss (750 mL)
- Compensated by constriction of vascular bed
- Blood pressure maintained
- Normal respiratory rate
- Pallor of the skin
- Normal mental status] to slight anxiety
- Normal capillary refill
- Normal urine output
Stage 2
- 15–30% blood volume loss (750–1500 mL)
- Cardiac output cannot be maintained by arterial constriction
- Tachycardia >100bpm
- Increased respiratory rate
- Blood pressure maintained
- Increased diastolic pressure
- Narrow pulse pressure
- Sweating from sympathetic stimulation
- Mildly anxious/Restless
- Delayed capillary refill
- Urine output of 20-30 milliliters/hour
Stage 3
- 30–40% blood volume loss (1500–2000 mL)
- Systolic BP falls to 100mmHg or less
- Classic signs of hypovolemic shock
- Marked tachycardia >120 bpm
- Marked tachypnea >30 bpm
- Alteration in mental status (confusion,anxiety, agitation)
- Sweating with cool, pale skin
- Delayed capillary refill
- Urine output of approximately 20 milliliters/hour
Stage 4
- Loss greater than 40% (>2000 mL)
- Extreme tachycardia (>140) with weak pulse
- Pronounced tachypnea
- Significantly decreased systolic blood pressure of 70 mmHg or less
- Decreased level of consciousness, lethargy,coma
- Skin is sweaty, cool, and extremely pale (moribund)
- Absent capillary refill
- Negligible urine output
At what stage does it become difficult to drag a very heavy wooden cross?
One the cross gets to the top of the hill it is finally over…..or is it? It is written that the hands and feet were nailed to that wooden cross and then the cross was lifted and jabbed in a hole in the ground. I wonder if there was any blood left to slowly seep from the nail holes. We read hands but most likely it was at the wrist the nails were hammered through since the weight of the body would cause the nails to rip the hand apart if they had been driven through the palm.
Death by crucifixion is a hard was to go because the way you are hanging it causes it to be hard to breathe so with what little strength, if any you have to push up with your nailed feet to allow the lungs to get air (asphyxiation/crucifixion/hypovolemic shock).
Do you know who this is I am talking about? Did you know this person died from all of this and then was raised from the dead? Did you know that this person is coming back for those who have accepted His gift of salvation suffering as a sacrifice for our sins through His death that was just BREIFLY described?
