"Abel's offering bore the character of a burnt offering... the value of the sacrifice, Heb. 11:4. Noah offered a burnt offering after the deluge. The Lord smelled a sweet savor... Job offered burnt offerings, Job 1:5" (Christ as Seen in the Offerings, R.F.K., pp. 18, 19).
In the well known chapter 22 of Genesis, where Abraham was told to offer up his son Isaac on Mount Moriah, six times it is called the burnt offering. This same most significant place on earth is where David also built an altar and offered up burnt offerings to Jehovah (1 Chron. 21 and 22:1), and where his son Solomon built the magnificent temple of worship to Jehovah (2 Chron. 3:1). "The place which the Lord your God shall chose... to put His name there.... His habitation... thither thou shalt come; and thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings," Deut. 12:5,6. (Before Solomon built the temple "he offered up a thousand burnt offerings upon" the brazen altar which was before the tabernacle pitched in Gibeon, 1 Kings 3:4). When the temple was finished and dedicated, in the middle of the court "he offered burnt offerings...because the brazen altar was too little to receive the burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings," 1 Kings 8:64, 2 Chron. 7:1-7. On the same momentous occasion when they brought the ark into the temple they "sacrificed sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude," 1 Kings 8:5 and 2 Chron. 5:6.
