Leviticus 7-8
This year, I plan on reading the Old Testament of the Bible within the 2012 calendar year. Follow me on this journey! Please, if you have questions or comments... let me know!
Scripture Thought (What I Learned):
Chapter 7: Forgiveness Through Sacrifice
The Law
of the Trespass Offering, after the burnt offering has been killed the meat is
to be eaten by the priest and any males that are with the priest during the
time of the sacrifice. Theses shall be made as an Atonement; At-One-Ment is a
way to address a wrong, such as a sin.
If the
burnt offering be as a "thanksgiving", then the sacrifice of
thanksgiving must be presented with unleavened cakes mingled with oil,
unleavened wafers anointed with oil and fine flour, fried. The sacrifice must
be eaten the day that it is sacrificed, unless it was a vow, then the sacrifice
may be eaten in 2 days, but on the third day it must be burnt. If the sacrifice
be eaten on the third day, the sacrifice shall be void and the person who
commits this will be committing an abomination unto the Lord.
The
children of Israel are commanded to not eat the fat of any beast, regardless of
how the animal died. The fat is to be used for other purposes, but to never be
eaten.
Israel is
also commanded to not eat blood. (Leviticus 7:26)
Chapter 8: Washing and Anointing
The Lord
commands Moses to bring the congregation of Israel before the doors of the Tabernacle,
where Aaron and his sons are washed an anointed, they are clothed in the robes of
the priesthood and are consecrated before Israel. Moses and Aaron offer sacrifices
of reconciliation unto the Lord in the same manner as I have discussed in the previous
chapters of Leviticus.
