Sacrificial Bullock – Base Art Common Torah Cattle – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG

A Wall of Protection and Presence

Sacrificial Bullock is a Common Cattle Being from the Torah Age, costing 6 faith with a formidable 5 strength and 6 hope. With Protect, it must be challenged before any other enemy Being can interact, making it a reliable buffer and board anchor. It’s ideal for decks aiming to control the flow of combat, protect key units, or stall aggressive pushes.

The Blood of the Bullock

The bullock was the great offering of the altar. Strong, steady, and very costly. It was the sacrifice of weight, the sacrifice of blood. The priest would bring it to the door of the tabernacle, and there it would be killed before the Lord. Then the blood was taken, life of the flesh itself poured out, and sprinkled round about the altar. This was not a token gift; it was the lifeblood of the strongest in the field, laid down in complete surrender.

A bullock was a bull brought into submission, trained for work, stripped of its wildness. It carried the strength of the bull without the fury. In that strength under control, we see a picture of the One who came in the fullness of power yet walked in meekness. The bullock bore the yoke willingly, and so did Christ, taking the burden of sin and carrying it to the altar of the cross.

This card's verse is Leviticus 1:5:

"And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation."

When the priest sprinkled the blood, it was ritual testimony. Every drop declared that the price had been paid. Blood is life. Blood is covenant. Blood is the covering between wrath and mercy. The bullock gave all, but even its blood could only cover for a moment. It was a shadow waiting for substance, an image of the One to come.

The Offering That Speaks Forever

Jesus came as the true bullock. Strength in surrender. Power in obedience. He did not resist the altar, He embraced it. Every lash, every thorn, every nail was the drawing out of blood more precious than silver and gold. And when His side was pierced, the last drop was given, sealing the new covenant forever.

The sprinkled blood in the tabernacle was for one nation, for one season. The blood of Christ is for every tribe, tongue, and people, for all eternity. Where the bullock’s life returned to dust, His life rose from the grave. His sacrifice does not need to be repeated. His offering is perfect and unending.

Believer, the blood that was shed for you is the strongest covering heaven has ever given. You are under its protection. You are sealed in its power. You are marked by its testament. The altar has spoken, and the verdict is life. You walk in the strength of the One who bore the yoke and broke its weight forever. Every step you take is on ground purchased by His blood. Your life is hidden in Him, your ransom is paid in full, and your standing is secure forever.
