Contemplative Bible Reading

Leviticus 8:14-15 (New Living Translation)

14 Then Moses presented the bull for the sin offering. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the bull’s head, 15 and Moses slaughtered it. Moses took some of the blood, and with his finger he put it on the four horns of the altar to purify it. He poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. Through this process, he made the altar holy by purifying it.

Notice something happening here. Moses slaughtered a bull. The best I can determine, Moses is about 75 years old at this time. A 75-year-old man slaughtered a bull without a gun or a power tool. Slaughtering a bull in this manner requires a lot of strength. This was a gift from God for the faithfulness of Moses. Truly an amazing gift and faith.
