Corban
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Leviticus 1:5  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) A life is offered. This distinction is quite significant once we understand that this offering typifies devotion and that this offering does not picture sin or the death of the offerer. In the offerings of Leviticus, a sacrifice is primarily perceived as a gift to God. Jesus uses the word "corban" in Mark 7:11. Corban itself means "gift" or "dedicated to God," and its root means "to bring near." Recall that the offerer is to lay his hand on the animal before it is killed to signify that the animal represents the offerer giving himself. Therefore, the killing of the animal represents the offerer bringing himself near, making a gift of himself, devoting his entire life to God. It indicates he holds nothing back. John W. Ritenbaugh The Offerings of Leviticus (Part Two): The Burnt Offering

Matthew 15:3-6  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) Notice what Jesus says happened here: The Pharisees had pushed the law of God aside! In the same way, the book of Galatians is not talking about the law of God but about Judaism. The two are not the same thing! John W. Ritenbaugh The Covenants, Grace and Law (Part 24)
