Numbers 5-6
This year, I plan on reading the Old Testament of the Bible within the 2012 calendar year. Follow me on this journey!
Scripture Thought (What I Learned):
Chapter 5: Sinners
Everyone
who is a Leper is considered unclean and must be "put out" of the
camp. This includes male and female, so that they might not "defile"
the camp or the rest of the congregation of Israel. If a man or woman is to
sin, they must confess of their sins and make a restitution of that sin.
If a
woman was unfaithful to her husband or had been presumed to have been
unfaithful to her husband, she was to be brought before a priest. The priest
will charge her by oath and by that he can decide whether this was true,
through the Jealous Offering, which is like a trial.
Chapter 6: No Wine of Strong Drink
The
Law of the Nazarite is set forth. Those who want to live the law, must separate
themselves unto the Lord. They are not to drink wine or strong drink. Those who
live this law and take the vow to live the law, by separating themselves unto
the Lord must shave their heads if they become defiled.
