Graphic Bible · Scene 14 of 17

At the established bronze lattice altar, a plain white-linen priest applies a small dark red mark to one corner projection while low flames consume prepared pale fat portions. The ordinary worshipper stands back with relieved, humbled posture. No animal body or gore; one cohesive final altar phase.

30And the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and he shall pour out all its blood at the base of the altar.

31And he shall remove all its fat, just as the fat is removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings, and the priest shall burn it on the altar as a pleasing aroma to Yahweh. And the priest shall make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.
