The legs symbolize the way one walks, the way one lives life, and the way one works. They represent the conduct of one's life, which must be devoted to God. Combined with the head, the fat, and the entrails, the legs are offered in the burnt offering to show complete devotion. Nothing is reserved for oneself. Every aspect of life, including conduct, is surrendered. The burnt offering requires a total love which dominates emotions, directs thoughts, and serves as the dynamic of all actions.

Offerings (Part One)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

The legs represent the conduct of one's life and the way that one walks. Christianity is not merely a thinking religion in which belief arises because of academic understanding. Rather it is something put into action through the way that life is conducted. That conduct too must be devoted to God. The legs along with the head the fat and the entrails are offered in the burnt offering to show complete devotion to God. Nothing is reserved for oneself. The burnt offering therefore requires a total love which dominates emotions directs thoughts and serves as the dynamic of all actions.
