Leviticus 15

Cleansing Unhealthiness

1The LORD also spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2"Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, 'When any man has a discharge from his body, his discharge is unclean.

3'This, moreover, shall be his uncleanness in his discharge: it is his uncleanness whether his body allows its discharge to flow or whether his body obstructs its discharge.

4'Every bed on which the person with the discharge lies becomes unclean, and everything on which he sits becomes unclean.

5'Anyone, moreover, who touches his bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening;

6and whoever sits on the thing on which the man with the discharge has been sitting, shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.
7'Also whoever touches the person with the discharge shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.

8'Or if the man with the discharge spits on one who is clean, he too shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.

9'Every saddle on which the person with the discharge rides becomes unclean.
10'Whoever then touches any of the things which were under him shall be unclean until evening, and he who carries them shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.

11'Likewise, whomever the one with the discharge touches without having rinsed his hands in water shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.

12'However, an earthenware vessel which the person with the discharge touches shall be broken, and every wooden vessel shall be rinsed in water.

13'Now when the man with the discharge becomes cleansed from his discharge, then he shall count off for himself seven days for his cleansing; he shall then wash his clothes and bathe his body in running water and will become clean.

14'Then on the eighth day he shall take for himself two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD to the doorway of the tent of meeting and give them to the priest;

15and the priest shall offer them, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering So the priest shall make atonement on his behalf before the LORD because of his discharge.

16'Now if a man has a seminal emission, he shall bathe all his body in water and be unclean until evening.

17'As for any garment or any leather on which there is seminal emission, it shall be washed with water and be unclean until evening.

18'If a man lies with a woman so that there is a seminal emission, they shall both bathe in water and be unclean until evening
.
19'When a woman has a discharge, if her discharge in her body is blood, she shall continue in her menstrual impurity for seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening.

20'Everything also on which she lies during her menstrual impurity shall be unclean, and everything on which she sits shall be unclean.
21'Anyone who touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.

22'Whoever touches any thing on which she sits shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.

23'Whether it be on the bed or on the thing on which she is sitting, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until evening.

24'If a man actually lies with her so that her menstrual impurity is on him, he shall be unclean seven days, and every bed on which he lies shall be unclean.

25'Now if a woman has a discharge of her blood many days, not at the period of her menstrual impurity, or if she has a discharge beyond that period, all the days of her impure discharge she shall continue as though in her menstrual impurity; she is unclean.

26'Any bed on which she lies all the days of her discharge shall be to her like her bed at menstruation; and every thing on which she sits shall be unclean, like her uncleanness at that time.

27'Likewise, whoever touches them shall be unclean and shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.

28'When she becomes clean from her discharge, she shall count off for herself seven days; and afterward she will be clean.

29'Then on the eighth day she shall take for herself two turtledoves or two young pigeons and bring them in to the priest, to the doorway of the tent of meeting.

30'The priest shall offer the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. So the priest shall make atonement on her behalf before the LORD because of her impure discharge.'

31"Thus you shall keep the sons of Israel separated from their uncleanness, so that they will not die in their uncleanness by their defiling My tabernacle that is among them."

32This is the law for the one with a discharge, and for the man who has a seminal emission so that he is unclean by it,

33and for the woman who is ill because of menstrual impurity, and for the one who has a discharge, whether a male or a female, or a man who lies with an unclean woman.

~ the elaborate system of specifications as to how a person could become ceremonially "unclean" and the requirements concerning it, were, it seems, designed to promote personal physical cleanliness and continual recognition of God in all the ways of life.( Halley's handbook)

Leviticus 14:1-57

Hello and welcome...It's time once a gain to read our passage of the day. Today we read Leviticus 14:1-57. It's a long one again today so get your coffee and snuggle down.

We are reading about another "law" today so I am including the entire passage. I am using the NASB version but you may change it if you like by clicking here.

Leviticus 14

Law of Cleansing a Leper

1Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2"This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing. Now he shall be brought to the priest, 3and the priest shall go out to the outside of the camp. Thus the priest shall look, and if the infection of leprosy has been healed in the leper,

4then the priest shall give orders to take two live clean birds and cedar wood and a scarlet string and hyssop for the one who is to be cleansed.

5"The priest shall also give orders to slay the one bird in an earthenware vessel over running water.

6"As for the live bird, he shall take it together with the cedar wood and the scarlet string and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the live bird in the blood of the bird that was slain over the running water.

7"He shall then sprinkle seven times the one who is to be cleansed from the leprosy and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the live bird go free over the open field.

8"The one to be cleansed shall then wash his clothes and shave off all his hair and bathe in water and be clean Now afterward, he may enter the camp, but he shall stay outside his tent for seven days.

9"It will be on the seventh day that he shall shave off all his hair: he shall shave his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair. He shall then wash his clothes and bathe his body in water and be clean
.
10"Now on the eighth day he is to take two male lambs without defect, and a yearling ewe lamb without defect, and three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering, and one log of oil;

11and the priest who pronounces him clean shall present the man to be cleansed and the aforesaid before the LORD at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

12"Then the priest shall take the one male lamb and bring it for a guilt offering, with the log of oil, and present them as a wave offering before the LORD.

13"Next he shall slaughter the male lamb in the place where they slaughter the sin offering and the burnt offering, at the place of the sanctuary--for the guilt offering, like the sin offering, belongs to the priest; it is most holy.

14"The priest shall then take some of the blood of the guilt offering, and the priest shall put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.
15"The priest shall also take some of the log of oil, and pour it into his left palm;

16the priest shall then dip his right-hand finger into the oil that is in his left palm, and with his finger sprinkle some of the oil seven times before the LORD.

17"Of the remaining oil which is in his palm, the priest shall put some on the right ear lobe of the one to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the blood of the guilt offering;

18while the rest of the oil that is in the priest's palm, he shall put on the head of the one to be cleansed. So the priest shall make atonement on his behalf before the LORD.

19"The priest shall next offer the sin offering and make atonement for the one to be cleansed from his uncleanness. Then afterward, he shall slaughter the burnt offering.

20"The priest shall offer up the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. Thus the priest shall make atonement for him, and he will be clean.

21"But if he is poor and his means are insufficient, then he is to take one male lamb for a guilt offering as a wave offering to make atonement for him, and one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering, and a log of oil,
22and two turtledoves or two young pigeons which are within his means, the one shall be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering.

23"Then the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to the priest, at the doorway of the tent of meeting, before the LORD.

24"The priest shall take the lamb of the guilt offering and the log of oil, and the priest shall offer them for a wave offering before the LORD.

25"Next he shall slaughter the lamb of the guilt offering; and the priest is to take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.

26"The priest shall also pour some of the oil into his left palm;
27and with his right-hand finger the priest shall sprinkle some of the oil that is in his left palm seven times before the LORD.

28"The priest shall then put some of the oil that is in his palm on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the guilt offering.

29"Moreover, the rest of the oil that is in the priest's palm he shall put on the head of the one to be cleansed, to make atonement on his behalf before the LORD.

30"He shall then offer one of the turtledoves or young pigeons, which are within his means.

31"He shall offer what he can afford, the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, together with the grain offering. So the priest shall make atonement before the LORD on behalf of the one to be cleansed.

32"This is the law for him in whom there is an infection of leprosy, whose means are limited for his cleansing."
Cleansing a Leprous House

33The LORD further spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying:

34"When you enter the land of Canaan, which I give you for a possession, and I put a mark of leprosy on a house in the land of your possession,

35then the one who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, 'Something like a mark of leprosy has become visible to me in the house.'

36"The priest shall then command that they empty the house before the priest goes in to look at the mark, so that everything in the house need not become unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to look at the house.

37"So he shall look at the mark, and if the mark on the walls of the house has greenish or reddish depressions and appears deeper than the surface,

38then the priest shall come out of the house, to the doorway, and quarantine the house for seven days.

39"The priest shall return on the seventh day and make an inspection. If the mark has indeed spread in the walls of the house,

40then the priest shall order them to tear out the stones with the mark in them and throw them away at an unclean place outside the city.

41"He shall have the house scraped all around inside, and they shall dump the plaster that they scrape off at an unclean place outside the city.

42"Then they shall take other stones and replace those stones, and he shall take other plaster and replaster the house.

43"If, however, the mark breaks out again in the house after he has torn out the stones and scraped the house, and after it has been replastered,
44then the priest shall come in and make an inspection. If he sees that the mark has indeed spread in the house, it is a malignant mark in the house; it is unclean.

45"He shall therefore tear down the house, its stones, and its timbers, and all the plaster of the house, and he shall take them outside the city to an unclean place.

46"Moreover, whoever goes into the house during the time that he has quarantined it, becomes unclean until evening.

47"Likewise, whoever lies down in the house shall wash his clothes, and whoever eats in the house shall wash his clothes.

48"If, on the other hand, the priest comes in and makes an inspection and the mark has not indeed spread in the house after the house has been replastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean because the mark has not reappeared.

49"To cleanse the house then, he shall take two birds and cedar wood and a scarlet string and hyssop,
50and he shall slaughter the one bird in an earthenware vessel over running water.

51"Then he shall take the cedar wood and the hyssop and the scarlet string, with the live bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird as well as in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

52"He shall thus cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and with the running water, along with the live bird and with the cedar wood and with the hyssop and with the scarlet string.

53"However, he shall let the live bird go free outside the city into the open field. So he shall make atonement for the house, and it will be clean."

54This is the law for any mark of leprosy--even for a scale,
55and for the leprous garment or house,
56and for a swelling, and for a scab, and for a bright spot--
57to teach when they are unclean and when they are clean.

This is the law of leprosy.

~like 13 this was so important because the disease of leprosy was so bad...they really took it seriously.

Leviticus 13:1-59

Hello and welcome back...Today we read through Leviticus 13:1-59 (I know I know...I'm a day behind...but I think we should just start from here...if you are on the ball you are ahead a day :o)

Leviticus 13

Regulations About Infectious Skin Diseases

1 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, 2 "When anyone has a swelling or a rash or a bright spot on his skin that may become an infectious skin disease, he must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons who is a priest. 3 The priest is to examine the sore on his skin, and if the hair in the sore has turned white and the sore appears to be more than skin deep, it is an infectious skin disease.

When the priest examines him, he shall pronounce him ceremonially unclean. 4 If the spot on his skin is white but does not appear to be more than skin deep and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest is to put the infected person in isolation for seven days. 5 On the seventh day the priest is to examine him, and if he sees that the sore is unchanged and has not spread in the skin, he is to keep him in isolation another seven days. 6 On the seventh day the priest is to examine him again, and if the sore has faded and has not spread in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is only a rash. The man must wash his clothes, and he will be clean.

I am reading the NIV translation today...for the rest of the passage and to change the version click here.


45 "The person with such an infectious disease must wear torn clothes, let his hair be unkempt, cover the lower part of his face and cry out, 'Unclean! Unclean!' 46 As long as he has the infection he remains unclean. He must live alone; he must live outside the camp.

MILDEW

47 "If any clothing is contaminated with mildew—any woolen or linen clothing, 48 any woven or knitted material of linen or wool, any leather or anything made of leather- 49 and if the contamination in the clothing, or leather, or woven or knitted material, or any leather article, is greenish or reddish, it is a spreading mildew and must be shown to the priest. 50 The priest is to examine the mildew and isolate the affected article for seven days.

51 On the seventh day he is to examine it, and if the mildew has spread in the clothing, or the woven or knitted material, or the leather, whatever its use, it is a destructive mildew; the article is unclean. 52 He must burn up the clothing, or the woven or knitted material of wool or linen, or any leather article that has the contamination in it, because the mildew is destructive; the article must be burned up.

~ the regulations on Leprosy were for the purpose of controlling the spread of one of the most loathesome and dreaded diseases.

Hey we still have a mold problem today...maybe we should treat it as the loathesome thing that it is.

Leviticus 11:1-47 and Leviticus 12:

We had a very exciting day yesterday...so needless to say I did not get my reading done...But I think the Lord was smiling on me because did you see how short Leviticus 12 is :o)

So today we read through Leviticus 11 and 12.

Leviticus 11:1-47 "laws about food" We are back into the Laws so I have included the entire passage...you may change the version if you like by clicking here. (today I am using the NASB)

Leviticus 11

Laws about Animals for Food

1The LORD spoke again to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
2"Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'These are the creatures which you may eat from all the animals that are on the earth.
3'Whatever divides a hoof, thus making split hoofs, and chews the cud, among the animals, that you may eat.

4'Nevertheless, you are not to eat of these, among those which chew the cud, or among those which divide the hoof: the camel, for though it chews cud, it does not divide the hoof, it is unclean to you.

5'Likewise, the shaphan, for though it chews cud, it does not divide the hoof, it is unclean to you;
6the rabbit also, for though it chews cud, it does not divide the hoof, it is unclean to you;
7and the pig, for though it divides the hoof, thus making a split hoof, it does not chew cud, it is unclean to you.

8'You shall not eat of their flesh nor touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.
9'These you may eat, whatever is in the water: all that have fins and scales, those in the water, in the seas or in the rivers, you may eat.

10'But whatever is in the seas and in the rivers that does not have fins and scales among all the teeming life of the water, and among all the living creatures that are in the water, they are detestable things to you,

11and they shall be abhorrent to you; you may not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses you shall detest.
12'Whatever in the water does not have fins and scales is abhorrent to you.
Avoid the Unclean

13'These, moreover, you shall detest among the birds; they are abhorrent, not to be eaten: the eagle and the vulture and the buzzard,

14and the kite and the falcon in its kind,
15every raven in its kind,
16and the ostrich and the owl and the sea gull and the hawk in its kind,
17and the little owl and the cormorant and the great owl,
18and the white owl and the pelican and the carrion vulture,
19and the stork, the heron in its kinds, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
20'All the winged insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you.

21'Yet these you may eat among all the winged insects which walk on all fours: those which have above their feet jointed legs with which to jump on the earth.

22'These of them you may eat: the locust in its kinds, and the devastating locust in its kinds, and the cricket in its kinds, and the grasshopper in its kinds.
23'But all other winged insects which are four-footed are detestable to you.
24'By these, moreover, you will be made unclean: whoever touches their carcasses becomes unclean until evening,

25and whoever picks up any of their carcasses shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening.

26'Concerning all the animals which divide the hoof but do not make a split hoof, or which do not chew cud, they are unclean to you: whoever touches them becomes unclean.

27'Also whatever walks on its paws, among all the creatures that walk on all fours, are unclean to you; whoever touches their carcasses becomes unclean until evening,
28and the one who picks up their carcasses shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening; they are unclean to you.

29'Now these are to you the unclean among the swarming things which swarm on the earth: the mole, and the mouse, and the great lizard in its kinds,

30and the gecko, and the crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand reptile, and the chameleon.
31'These are to you the unclean among all the swarming things; whoever touches them when they are dead becomes unclean until evening.

32'Also anything on which one of them may fall when they are dead becomes unclean, including any wooden article, or clothing, or a skin, or a sack--any article of which use is made--it shall be put in the water and be unclean until evening, then it becomes clean.

33'As for any earthenware vessel into which one of them may fall, whatever is in it becomes unclean and you shall break the vessel.

34'Any of the food which may be eaten, on which water comes, shall become unclean, and any liquid which may be drunk in every vessel shall become unclean.

35'Everything, moreover, on which part of their carcass may fall becomes unclean; an oven or a stove shall be smashed; they are unclean and shall continue as unclean to you.
36'Nevertheless a spring or a cistern collecting water shall be clean, though the one who touches their carcass shall be unclean.

37'If a part of their carcass falls on any seed for sowing which is to be sown, it is clean.
38'Though if water is put on the seed and a part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
39'Also if one of the animals dies which you have for food, the one who touches its carcass becomes unclean until evening.

40'He too, who eats some of its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening, and the one who picks up its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening.

41'Now every swarming thing that swarms on the earth is detestable, not to be eaten.
42'Whatever crawls on its belly, and whatever walks on all fours, whatever has many feet, in respect to every swarming thing that swarms on the earth, you shall not eat them, for they are detestable.

43'Do not render yourselves detestable through any of the swarming things that swarm; and you shall not make yourselves unclean with them so that you become unclean.

44'For I am the LORD your God Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy. And you shall not make yourselves unclean with any of the swarming things that swarm on the earth.

45'For I am the LORD who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God; thus you shall be holy, for I am holy.'"

46This is the law regarding the animal and the bird, and every living thing that moves in the waters and everything that swarms on the earth,

47)to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the edible creature and the creature which is not to be eaten.

~ There was a distinction before the flood between clean and unclean animals. Gen 7:2 Moses enacted this distinction into law. It was based partly on their wholesomeness as food and partly on religious considerations, designed to serve as one of the marks of separation in Israel from other nations. Jesus abrogated the distinction in MK 7:19 "making all meats clean" (just in case you, like I , were wondering about that?)

Leviticus 12:1-8

Leviticus 12

Laws of Motherhood

1Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2"Speak to the sons of Israel, saying: 'When a woman gives birth and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean for seven days, as in the days of her menstruation she shall be unclean.
3'On the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.

4'Then she shall remain in the blood of her purification for thirty-three days; she shall not touch any consecrated thing, nor enter the sanctuary until the days of her purification are completed.

5'But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean for two weeks, as in her menstruation; and she shall remain in the blood of her purification for sixty-six days.

6'When the days of her purification are completed, for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the doorway of the tent of meeting a one year old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering.

7'Then he shall offer it before the LORD and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who bears a child, whether a male or a female.

8'But if she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.'"

~according to Haley's Handbook...the period of separation, in case of boy babies, was 40 days and in case of girl babies, 80 days. The purpose of this is thought to have been to help hold the balance of sexes, as men, by exigencies of war were subject to greater fatalities that women.

Leviticus 10

The Sin of Nadab and Abihu

1Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took their respective firepans, and after putting fire in them, placed incense on it and offered strange fire before the LORD, which He had not commanded them.
2And fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they died before the LORD.

To read the rest of today's passage you may do so by clicking here.

3Then Moses said to Aaron, "It is what the LORD spoke, saying,
'By those who come near Me I will be treated as holy,
And before all the people I will be honored.'"
So Aaron, therefore, kept silent.

6Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, "Do not uncover your heads nor tear your clothes, so that you will not die and that He will not become wrathful against all the congregation. But your kinsmen, the whole house of Israel, shall bewail the burning which the LORD has brought about.

7"You shall not even go out from the doorway of the tent of meeting, or you will die; for the LORD'S anointing oil is upon you." So they did according to the word of Moses.

13"You shall eat it, moreover, in a holy place, because it is your due and your sons' due out of the LORD'S offerings by fire; for thus I have been commanded

16But Moses searched carefully for the goat of the sin offering, and behold, it had been burned up! So he was angry with Aaron's surviving sons Eleazar and Ithamar, saying,
17"Why did you not eat the sin offering at the holy place? For it is most holy, and He gave it to you to bear away the guilt of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD.

19But Aaron spoke to Moses, "Behold, this very day they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD. When things like these happened to me, if I had eaten a sin offering today, would it have been good in the sight of the LORD?"
20When Moses heard that, it seemed good in his sight.

~It seemed good in his sight...oh my they are justifying already...hmmmm

Hello and Welcome...Today we read through Leviticus 9:1-24.

Aaron Offers Sacrifices

1Now it came about on the eighth day that Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel;
2and he said to Aaron, "Take for yourself a calf, a bull, for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, both without defect, and offer them before the LORD.


To read the entire passage, if you haven't done so already... please click here.


6Moses said, "This is the thing which the LORD has commanded you to do, that the glory of the LORD may appear to you."

Moses told Aaron that if he did as the Lord had commanded them...

7Moses then said to Aaron, "Come near to the altar and offer your sin offering and your burnt offering, that you may make atonement for yourself and for the people; then make the offering for the people, that you may make atonement for them, just as the LORD has commanded."
8So Aaron came near to the altar and slaughtered the calf of the sin offering which was for himself.

He also did the offerings for the people...


22Then Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them, and he stepped down after making the sin offering and the burnt offering and the peace offerings.

23Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting. When they came out and blessed the people, the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people.

24Then fire came out from before the LORD and consumed the burnt offering and the portions of fat on the altar; and when all the people saw it, they shouted and fell on their faces.

~They did as the Lord commanded them and they were overcome by the glory of the LORD!

How about that...WOW!

Leviticus 8:1-36

Hello...and Welcome! Today we read through Leviticus 8:1-36

1Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2"Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments and the anointing oil and the bull of the sin offering, and the two rams and the basket of unleavened bread,
3and assemble all the congregation at the doorway of the tent of meeting."


To read the entire passage click here.

Moses summoned his sons and did as the Lord had commanded him. After he put blood on the earlobe of his sons and said to them and Aaron...

31Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, "Boil the flesh at the doorway of the tent of meeting, and eat it there together with the bread which is in the basket of the ordination offering, just as I commanded, saying, 'Aaron and his sons shall eat it.'
32"The remainder of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn in the fire.
33"You shall not go outside the doorway of the tent of meeting for seven days, until the day that the period of your ordination is fulfilled; for he will ordain you through seven days.

34"The LORD has commanded to do as has been done this day, to make atonement on your behalf.


36Thus Aaron and his sons did all the things which the LORD had commanded through Moses.

~Previous to the time of Moses sacrifices were offered by Heads of the Families. But now, the nation organized, a place set apart for sacrifice and the ritual prescribed a special Hereditary order of men was created.(Haley's handbook)
