As I read through the list of required offerings I was amazed at how many animals and how much grain and oil they needed to offer and how seriously HaShem took the offerings. Everything had to be done in a precise order, exactly as prescribed by HaShem. The exact proper offering had to be offered at the precise time or season depending on which Feast day was being celebrated. How they managed to keep track of everything without the use of computers, as we have today, astounds me? It was not like they could make a mistake once in a while. A mess-up could have meant death for the offer or the priest that was doing the offering.
Niliposoma orodha ya matoleo yaliyotakiwa nilistaajabishwa na wanyama wangapi na ni kiasi gani cha nafaka na mafuta walichohitaji kutoa na jinsi HaShem alichukua sadaka kwa uzito. Kila kitu kilipaswa kufanywa kwa mpangilio sahihi, sawasawa na ilivyoagizwa na HaShem. Sadaka kamili ilipaswa kutolewa kwa wakati au msimu hususa kulingana na siku ya Sikukuu ambayo ilikuwa ikiadhimishwa. Jinsi walivyoweza kufuatilia kila kitu bila kutumia kompyuta, kama tunavyo leo, inanishangaza? Haikuwa kama wangeweza kufanya makosa mara moja kwa wakati. Uharibifu ungeweza kumaanisha kifo kwa toleo au kuhani aliyekuwa akitoa dhabihu.
