Quick answer

Overview
Worship moves from praise to costly sacrifice, as the nation presents lavish burnt offerings for all Israel. The abundance matches the generosity of their giving, expressing wholehearted consecration to God. These many sacrifices, which could never finally take away sin, point forward to the one perfect sacrifice of Christ, offered once for all (Hebrews 10:11-14).
