“Say to them: These are the offerings by fire that you are to present to the LORD: As a regular burnt offering every day”
— Numbers 28.3

Burnt Offerings
In the bible a term used persisted to nag at me… A mere two words that may have been misunderstood for thousands of years…
Burnt Offerings…
Modern religion will tell you this term is for the burning of sacrifices i.e. Goats, sheep, brother…, what if this is wrong.
What if this biblical term really means to smoke session with God…
Example… Everyone knows this story from the bible, not everyone knows what happens next…
Noah and family escape the flood by building a boat, well eventually the water recedes. Departing onto land what is the first thing they do?…
That’s right, a Burnt Offering Session!
“And Jethro, Moses’ father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses’ father in law before God.”
-Exodus 18:12
Notice the separation of the sacrifices and the burnt offering…

I can hear the skeptics screaming behind the computer screen now, “There is no proof of smoked cannabis at that time” right?…
Article from the official Ancient Egyptian Bibliography published by the University of Leiden in the ‘International Journal of Pathology’, Berlin – Heidelberg 427 (1995), 423-429. (ill.).
“Report on the morphological and trace element findings of several internal organs from an Egyptian mummy approximately dating from the year 950 B.C. According to C-14-analysis. By use of a multidisciplinary approach the authors succeeded in discovering evidence for severe and presumably recurrent pulmonary bleeding during life. This was suggested by the finding of massive haemosiderin deposits in the lung and a selectively and markedly elevated level of iron in trace element analysis of the lung tissue. Furthermore, an enhanced deposition of birefringent particles in the lung tissue, without significant fibrosis, was observed. The histological analysis of liver, stomach and intestine confirmed the macroscopic organ diagnoses without evidence of any major pathological processes. In addition, analysis for various drugs revealed a significant deposition of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), nicotine and cocaine in several organs of the mummy. The concentration profiles additionally provide evidence for a preferential inhalation of THC, while nicotine and cocaine containing drugs seem to have been consumed orally.”

These burnt offerings may have not be smoked in the traditional way through pipes resembling our modern day pieces, but as a incense burned for the gods. Much like the earlier Scythians, the fumes could have been inhaled from these “incense pipes” as they permeate the room.
Make for Me an altar of earth and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your sacrifices of well-being”
-Exodus 20:21
