Usage: The term "zevaah" refers to a sacrifice, typically an offering made to God. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often denotes a ritual act of worship involving the slaughter of an animal as an offering to God. This act was central to the religious life of ancient Israel, symbolizing atonement, thanksgiving, or covenantal commitment.
Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, sacrifices were a fundamental aspect of worship and religious practice. The sacrificial system was established in the Mosaic Law and was integral to the covenant relationship between God and His people. Sacrifices were offered in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple in Jerusalem. They served various purposes, including atonement for sin, expressions of gratitude, and acts of communal worship. The practice of sacrifice was deeply embedded in the cultural and religious life of the Israelites, reflecting their understanding of holiness, sin, and redemption.
