The God of Israel will always transcend our understanding, but he has called to us across that divide. Spiritual development means learning to recognize God's transcendence, as well as learning to hear his call across the divide. Through the offering the children of Israel can come near to God, even though his holiness would keep them at a distance. The offering itself bridges the distance between man and God, for it is korban, that which comes near, and a man must come near to present it. This view reflects the entire meaning of the Exodus.
Worship is the goal of the Exodus from Egypt.
There is a vast gulf between man and God. How different is this understanding of the sacrificial system of Leviticus from the typical modern view. We tend to see the elaborate requirements and regulations of sacrifice as creating a distance between man and God. In our enlightened times, we like to emphasize the approachability of the divine. After all, God is everywhere, and we can always draw near to him.
