Leviticus 7 This chapter talks about fellowship/peace offerings. It says that all meats or baked grains that are brought must be eaten that day (apart from the ones that are given to the priests). It struck me that perhaps this was a way to encourage community and fellowship among the Israelites. Considering that some people…

Truth and Obedience
Leviticus – in general. I read Leviticus 27 today and it’s all about vows and avowed objects (people, animals, houses, etc.). I don’t get it. I’m sure the reason I don’t understand it is that I live now and all of this is rather foreign. Not to mention the fact that the way of phrasing…
Kindred
Leviticus 26:12 I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people. I was curious to know what word was used for walk, so I went into the Hebrew translation to find out (Blue Letter Bible – it’s awesome!). What I found was kind of cool, but it didn’t have…
Separated
Leviticus 20:7 Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I [am] the LORD your God. Separate. Set apart. Viewed as holy. That’s how we are to be. Our God is holy. He made us. And He tells us to be separate and set apart, regarding ourselves as holy. That doesn’t mean we should all go…
I Chose the Red Pill…
Leviticus 19:19 ‘You shall keep My statutes. You shall not let your livestock breed with another kind. You shall not sow your field with mixed seed. Nor shall a garment of mixed linen and wool come upon you. Okay, I get the livestock bit and mixed seed bit, but I have never understood the last…
Life Blood
Leviticus 17:21 For the life of the flesh [is] in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it [is] the blood [that] makes atonement for the soul. I’ll bet that if you read that without the address you’d think it was something Jesus…
Weird Sacrifices
Lev 14:6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, the cedar wood and the scarlet and the hyssop, and dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water. Maybe if I lived during the days of Moses this would make sense and would…
God of Details
Leviticus 11:2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘These are the animals which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth: I think it’s fascinating that God would be so specific in His instructions, even down to what animals, birds, reptiles, etc. could and could not be eaten! That shows…
I Did It My Way!
Leviticus 10:1-2 Then Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it, put incense on it, and offered profane fire before the LORD, which He had not commanded them. So fire went out from the LORD and devoured them, and they died before the LORD. Wow. What a…
The Glory of the LORD
Leviticus 9:24 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of meeting, and came out and blessed the people. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people, … The glory of the LORD appeared to all people…. after that a fire consumed all the offerings, the people cried out and then fell…
