Israelite feasts and sacrifices: sacrifices

The interactive “Israelite feasts and sacrifices” has two forms:

  • A graphic Jewish calendar with major feasts shown (outside the scope of faceted)
  • A table of the sacrifices occurring in the Bible

The current calendar with mouse-over showing detail of date.

P13-1 Feasts

The beginning of the faceted table of sacrifices:

P13-2 Sacrifices

Documentation: none

Available data:

  • Bible referernce
  • Offerant
  • Occasion
  • Purpose
  • Type
  • Content
  • Judaica (rabbinic references)

Available facets listed either by count or alphabetically):

  • Purpose
  • Occasion
  • Content
  • Offerant

It is unfortunate that the title given the altar in Thompson, Jeremy. All the Altars in the Bible. Faithlife Biblical and Theological Lists. Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2020 has not been added to Evans, Eli, and Jessica Parks. Israelite Feasts and Sacrifices. Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2014.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
