Lev 24 Today in our secular world, men “yawn” at the Ten Commandments, but this chapter proves that God takes any violation seriously. When a young man lost his temper in a fight, he uttered a curse against God, thereby [Ex 20:7] disavowing the Commandment to not take the name of the Lord in vain. […]
Lev 22, 1 Cor 11:26 God loved his people so much that he established memorial days that they might focus on who He is and His provision for their every need. The seven feasts all pointed to Christ, who was yet to come. When He came, he established communion, or what we call the Lord’s […]
Lev 19-21 God’s “do’s and don’ts” seem a bit outdated today, but when we look at them through the lens of God’s Word, we see the practical and the wisdom. For example: Do you like leftovers? Cold leftovers are unappetizing, but heated ones remind us of the first meal when it was tasty and lovely […]
Lev 16-18 Two principles reign supreme: the life is in the blood, [Lev 17:14], so do not partake of the blood of any animal. Secondly, do not celebrate what God calls abominable. [Lev 18:2-4] Over and over, God speaks to holiness and righteousness to His people. They were to be a holy people, set apart […]
Lev 14-15 When we sin, intentionally or unintentionally, everyone suffers! The price for forgiveness or cleansing is very steep. In the case of the Israelites, it was the cost of an unblemished lamb or turtledoves. No matter what was given, it was costly to the sinner. We don’t have to wonder why because the life is […]
Lev 13, Matt 8 For the last few years, we have experienced the stigma of being “unclean” regarding the pandemic. There has been a public outcry to be vaccinated and how to handle this to protect others. In some way, this scenario is much like what Hansen’s disease or leprosy was to the Israelite community. […]
Lev 8-10 After several lengthy chapters on the Tabernacle, we come to the place of the consecration of the implements and the sacrifices. Each tribe was to bring a set of golden and silver dishes and also certain animals to be sacrificed. Aaron was consecrated and anointed, as well as his sons. Moses offered the […]
Lev 5-6 I can well remember my mother washing my mouth out with soap. The taste was horrible and remained even after the incident, in hopes, perhaps, that this lingering taste would cause me to forgo lying when the next temptation arose. However, I must be a slow learner because I remember my parent doing […]
Leviticus 1-3 I love to make homemade bread. Over the years, I have made more yeast breads than number could count. I have seen the effect of yeast to change the dough. God told Moses if any were to bring a grain offering, it was not to have any leaven. In that day, honey and yeast […]
Exo 38-39, 1Cor 3:13 The people gave willingly, and anointed workers gathered and prepared all materials needed for worship. Moses led, the people (finally) followed, and God was pleased. Imagine being there at the unveiling to see the finished “project,” a.k.a. Tabernacle. Each person could stand and think; I was a part of this. The […]
