How do we know Jesus is represented in the burnt offering?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is depicted in the burnt offering as the unblemished male, symbolizing His perfection and the atoning nature of His sacrifice.

The burnt offering conveys profound theological truths about Jesus Christ, who is portrayed as the unblemished male sacrifice, emphasizing His sinlessness and divine strength. Leviticus commands that the offering be without defect, which directly correlates with the biblical assertion of Christ's perfection as He lived a sinless life on Earth. In this light, the burnt offering not only signifies atonement but also foreshadows the complete and ultimate sacrifice made by Jesus on the cross, where He bore the sins of His people, making Him the perfect Redeemer. The imagery of the offering aligns with the New Testament declarations of Christ’s redemptive work.
