Why Didn't Animal Sacrifices Defile
God's Altar?
If touching a dead body made a person unclean… why didn’t all those dead animals make God’s altar unclean?
Because Leviticus makes a distinction that most modern readers completely miss.
If an Israelite Touched a human corpse?. they were Unclean.
Touched a dead animal? Unclean.
And if they brought that impurity into God’s sanctuary? they’d defile it.
surely then placing an animal carcass on the altar wood defile it? Yes, it would. That’s why they never did it..
