Three easy steps to participate:

The Fat Tail

Leviticus 3:9 talks about fatty parts of a lamb that are to be included in the sacrifice, including the "fat tail." What's that? Apparently a breed of sheep still common in the Middle East has a tail heavy with fat. Check out this summary at Wikipedia.

    As I read this section, it struck me more than once that the amount of detail that they needed to remember/guidelines they needed to follow is a bit mind-boggling!

    Yeah, you try to put yourself in their shoes to remember what all has to be done--and sacrifice piles up on sacrifice, each done a certain way with certain ingredients. Then you have to be aware of your sins--everything you did wrong or didn't do right... Maybe God was setting them up to fail, so to speak, to show their need for a Savior? But meanwhile you could end up with some good-hearted people having breakdowns...
