Sin Kurban

A sinner brings a lamb before the altar of burnt offering inside the sacred court of the Tabernacle. The worshiper kneels with his hand laid upon the animal’s head while the priest stands beside him in prayer, knife in hand, and flames rise from the bronze altar. The scene portrays the Old Testament sin offering, where guilt was confessed and atonement was sought through the shedding of blood according to the law given through Moses. The hand placed on the sacrifice signifies identification and transfer: the animal dies in the place of the guilty worshiper. For Christian teaching, this image points beyond the Tabernacle ritual to the final sufficiency of Christ, the Lamb of God, whose sacrifice fulfills the need for atonement once and for all.
