LEVITICUS
Wayiq'ra (Called)
Things pertaining to Levi.
Leviticus is a manual for the priests, detailing the rules and procedures which the priests had to observe and enforce for the covenant nation of Israel.
Israel in the OT are the same people in the NT and the same people that make up the white nations of the world today. We are True Israel. The Jews are NOT Israel. The Jews are of Cain and of Esau.
The Levitical priesthood expired after Christ died. Christ is now our high priest and intercessor.
The “churches” teach that the law was “done away with”. This is false. The rituals of the law expired.
The book of Leviticus deals with the further training of the chosen nation of Israel.
To be a holy or consecrated (set apart) people.
The priesthood was not vested in this tribe (Levi) until after the law was given to Moses. Before then, the firstborn in every family,-fathers, princes, and kings- were priests, and could themselves offer their own sacrifices, like Noah, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The Levitical priesthood was no longer necessary after Christ offered Himself as the sacrifice for sin.
Leviticus also calls for us to be a healthy nation as well as a holy (set apart) one.
Chapter 11 states what food is wholesome and what is not fit for consumption. Peter was taught by Yahweh not to call any man clean or unclean.
Chapter 18 ordains that near kin are not to intermarry. This is to maintain the purity of the national blood stream and is the foundation of the 'Table of Kindred and Affinity' found in the English Book of Common Prayer.
Leviticus 1:1 And Yahweh called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting), saying,
1:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man (H120 awdawm) of you bring an offering unto Yahweh, you shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.
1:3 If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting) before Yahweh.
1:4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
The days after Christ died we no longer practice these Levitical rituals. We must present ourselves as a sacrifice by living according to the Spirit and the law.
1:5 And he shall kill the bullock before Yahweh: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting).
1:6 And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.
1:7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire:
1:8 And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
1:9 But his inwards (inner organs) and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn (as an incense) all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Yahweh.
1:10 And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.
1:11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before Yahweh: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.
1:12 And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
1:13 But he shall wash the inwards (inner organs) and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn (as incense) it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Yahweh.
1:14 And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to Yahweh be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
1:15 And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:
1:16 And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
1:17 And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it (as an incense) upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Yahweh.
The sacrifices were to have no blemish or defects, as our Messiah was a perfect sacrifice. All the laws relating to sacrifices for sin remission have been fulfilled (by Christ), and are of historical significance only.
The law of meat (grain) offerings
Leviticus 2:1 And when any will offer a meat (grain) offering unto Yahweh, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil (olive oil) upon it, and put frankincense thereon:
2:2 And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour (wheat flour) thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn (as an incense) the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Yahweh:
2:3 And the remnant of the meat (grain) offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire.
2:4 And if you bring an oblation of a meat (grain) offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
2:5 And if your oblation be a meat (grain) offering baken in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.
2:6 You shalt part (crumble) it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meat (grain) offering.
2:7 And if your oblation be a meat (grain) offering baken in the fryingpan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
2:8 And you shalt bring the meat (grain) offering that is made of these things unto Yahweh: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar.
2:9 And the priest shall take from the meat (grain) offering a memorial thereof, and shall burn it (as an incense) upon the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Yahweh.
2:10 And that which is left of the meat (grain) offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire.
2:11 No meat (grain) offering, which you shall bring unto Yahweh, shall be made with leaven: for you shall burn (as an incense) no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of Yahweh made by fire.
2:12 As for the oblation (offering) of the firstfruits, you shall offer them unto Yahweh: but they shall not be burnt (that which ascends, to smoke) on the altar for a sweet savour.
2:13 And every oblation (offering) of your meat (grain) offering shalt you season with salt; neither shalt you suffer the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking (to cease) from your meat (grain) offering: with all your offerings you shalt offer salt. (Num 18:19)
Mark 9:49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
Colossians 4:6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
2:14 And if you offer a meat (grain) offering of your firstfruits unto Yahweh, you shalt offer for the meat (grain) offering of your firstfruits green ears of corn (grain) dried by the fire, even corn (grain) beaten out of full ears (ripe kernels).
2:15 And you shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meat (grain) offering.
2:16 And the priest shall burn (as an incense) the memorial of it, part of the beaten corn (grain) thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto Yahweh.
The KJV generalizes words, meat being one of them. Meat is Old English for food. Meat, as in flesh, is not the context of chapter 2. Wheat grain is the food of context. Corn is also incorrect. Chapter 2 is about wheat grain offerings.
The word burn has several different definitions. Set on fire, become angry, hotly pursue, to brand, and to burn incense.
The law of peace offerings
Offering of Well Being
Leviticus 3:1 And if his oblation (offering) be a sacrifice of peace offering (of Well Being), if he offer it of the herd; whether it be a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before Yahweh.
3:2 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting): and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
3:3 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto Yahweh; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
3:4 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.
3:5 And Aaron's sons shall burn it (as an incense) on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which is upon the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Yahweh.
3:6 And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering unto Yahweh be of the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish.
3:7 If he offer a lamb for his offering, then shall he offer it before Yahweh.
3:8 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting): and Aaron's sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the altar.
3:9 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto Yahweh; the fat thereof, and the whole rump, it shall he take off hard by the backbone; and the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
3:10 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.
3:11 And the priest shall burn it upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire unto Yahweh.
3:12 And if his offering be a goat, then he shall offer it before Yahweh.
3:13 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of it, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting): and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the altar round about.
3:14 And he shall offer thereof his offering, even an offering made by fire unto Yahweh; the fat that covereth the inwards (inner organs), and all the fat that is upon the inwards (inner organs),
3:15 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.
3:16 And the priest shall burn (as an incense) them upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire for a sweet savour: all the fat is Yahweh's .
3:17 It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that you eat neither fat nor blood.
All of chapter 3 is sacrificial law for offerings of Well Being (peace offerings). Verse 17 is a statute of a food law that is still in effect today.
The sin offering (Feast of Atonement)
Leviticus 4:1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
4:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin (to miss the mark, fall short of duty) through ignorance against any of the commandments of Yahweh concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:
4:3 If the priest that is anointed do sin (miss the mark) according to the sin (guilt, offense) of the people; then let him bring for his sin (sin offering), which he hath sinned (missed the mark), a young bullock without blemish unto Yahweh for a sin offering.
There are many uses and definitions for the word sin. Word studies help gain a clearer understanding.
4:4 And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting) before Yahweh; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's head, and kill the bullock before Yahweh.
4:5 And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting):
4:6 And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before Yahweh, before the vail of the sanctuary.
The veil separated the holy sanctuary of the ark from the rest of the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle).
4:7 And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before Yahweh, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting); and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom (base) of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting).
4:8 And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
4:9 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away,
4:10 As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt offering.
4:11 And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,
4:12 Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.
4:13 And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly (escapes the notice), and they have done somewhat against any of the commandments of Yahweh concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty;
4:14 When the sin (condition of sin), which they have sinned against it (missed the mark), is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin (sin offering), and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting).
4:15 And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before Yahweh: and the bullock shall be killed before Yahweh.
4:16 And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting):
4:17 And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before Yahweh, even before the vail.
4:18 And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before Yahweh, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting), and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom (base) of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting).
4:19 And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon the altar.
4:20 And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement (propitiation) for them, and it shall be forgiven (pardoned) them.
4:21 And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn him as he burned the first bullock: it is a sin offering for the congregation (qahal).
4:22 When a ruler hath sinned (missed the mark), and done somewhat through ignorance against any of the commandments of Yahweh his God concerning things which should not be done, and is guilty;
4:23 Or if his sin (condition of sin), wherein he hath sinned (missed the mark), come to his knowledge; he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:
4:24 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before Yahweh: it is a sin offering.
4:25 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out his blood at the bottom (base) of the altar of burnt offering.
4:26 And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings (of Well Being): and the priest shall make an atonement (propitiation) for him as concerning his sin (condition of sin), and it shall be forgiven (pardoned) him.
4:27 And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of Yahweh concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty;
4:28 Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned.
4:29 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.
4:30 And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar.
4:31 And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it (as an incense) upon the altar for a sweet savour unto Yahweh; and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven (pardoned) him. (Gen 8:21 Noah's offering)
4:32 And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish.
4:33 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.
4:34 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar:
4:35 And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto Yahweh: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven (pardoned) him.
All of chapter 4 is sacrifice for the sins of the ignorant, when they become aware of it.
As there are many different meanings for sin, the context of chapter 4 is ignorance. When we miss the mark of our duty as children of the Most High to obey, we are guilty, even if we do it in ignorance. When we miss the mark, we are in a sinful condition. When our offense is realized or made known, we must repent and confess, and make a sin offering. Back then it was the offering of animals, since Christ's death, it is spiritual sacrifices, which is done by obedience, allegiance and practice of His Way (The Way).
Ritual sacrifice has expired and is no longer needed, as Yahshua Messiah fulfilled all blood sacrifices.
Sin offering continues...
Leviticus 5:1 And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing (sworn testimony), and is a witness, whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not utter it (refuses to testify), then he shall bear his iniquity.
A witness to a crime that covers it up or refuses to come forward is also guilty.
This sin is missing the mark of your Israelite duty.
5:2 Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.
Even if you don't know you touched an unclean thing you were still unclean, and guilty.
5:3 Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him (unknown to him); when he knoweth of it (realizes it), then he shall be guilty.
5:4 Or if a soul swear (an oath), pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.
5:5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:
5:6 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto Yahweh for his sin (condition of sin) which he hath sinned (missed the mark), a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement (propitiation) for him concerning his sin (sin offering).
5:7 And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto Yahweh; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
5:8 And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not divide it asunder:
5:9 And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it is a sin offering.
5:10 And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the manner (of the burnt offering): and the priest shall make an atonement (propitiation) for him for his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
5:11 But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put any frankincense thereon: for it is a sin offering.
5:12 Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it, even a memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto Yahweh: it is a sin offering.
5:13 And the priest shall make an atonement (propitiation) for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the priest's, as a meat (grain) offering.
5:14 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
5:15 If a soul commit a trespass, and sin (misses the mark) through ignorance, in the holy things of Yahweh; then he shall bring for his trespass unto Yahweh a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with your estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:
5:16 And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement (propitiation) for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him.
5:17 And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of Yahweh; though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
5:18 And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with your estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement (propitiation) for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist it not, and it shall be forgiven him.
5:19 It is a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against Yahweh.
Chapter 5 is a continuation of chapter 4 regarding blood sacrifices. These have been fulfilled by Christ, however it has some moral guidelines that are still current. The refusal to give testimony in a dispute is clearly sinful. Touching unclean creeping things and dead carcasses defile a man and he may not approach Yahweh's holy place. Rashly spoken words and oaths are not wise and may have consequences. Leviticus is filled with wise things to guide us today.
Verse 19 is the end of chapter 5 in the KJV, but has 26 verses in the Hebrew.
The burnt offering
Leviticus 6:1(5:20) And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
6:2(5:21) If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against Yahweh, and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;
Acts 5:1-4
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
6:3(5:22) Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:
Deuteronomy 22:1-3
1 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother.
2 And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.
3 In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother's, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.
6:4(5:23) Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,
6:5(5:24) Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.
6:6(5:25) And he shall bring his trespass offering unto Yahweh, a ram without blemish out of the flock, with your estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest:
6:7(5:26) And the priest shall make an atonement (propitiation) for him before Yahweh: and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein.
6:8 (Leviticus 6:1) And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
6:9(6:2) Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering: It is the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it.
6:10(6:3) And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.
6:11(6:4) And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place.
6:12(6:5) And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn (as an incense) thereon the fat of the peace offerings.
6:13(6:6) The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.
6:14(6:7) And this is the law of the meat (grain) offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before Yahweh, before the altar.
6:15(6:8) And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat (grain) offering, and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the meat offering, and shall burn it (as an incense) upon the altar for a sweet savour, even the memorial of it, unto Yahweh.
6:16(6:9) And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: with unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting) they shall eat it.
6:17(6:10) It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it unto them for their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.
6:18(6:11) All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be a statute for ever (a long duration) in your generations concerning the offerings of Yahweh made by fire: every one that toucheth them shall be holy.
The priesthood expired when Christ died.
6:19(6:12) And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
6:20(6:13) This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto Yahweh in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meat (grain) offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and half thereof at night.
6:21(6:14) In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baken, you shalt bring it in: and the baken pieces of the meat (grain) offering shalt you offer for a sweet savour unto Yahweh.
6:22(6:15) And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer it: it is a statute for ever (for a long duration) unto Yahweh; it shall be wholly burnt.
6:23(6:16) For every meat (grain) offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten.
6:24(6:17) And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
6:25(6:18) Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before Yahweh: it is most holy.
6:26(6:19) The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting).
6:27(6:20) Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, you shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled in the holy place.
6:28(6:21) But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken: and if it be sodden in a brasen pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water.
6:29(6:22) All the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it is most holy.
6:30(6:23) And no sin offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting) to reconcile withal (on behalf of anything) in the holy place, shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.
The grain offerings were not for remission of sin, they were a glory offering to Yahweh, and done every day. The sin offerings were done by blood sacrifices for the remission of sins.
The trespass offering
The peace offering
The portion for priests
Leviticus 7:1 Likewise this is the law of the trespass (guilt) offering: it is most holy.
7:2 In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the trespass (guilt) offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon the altar.
7:3 And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards,
7:4 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul that is above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away:
7:5 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire unto Yahweh: it is a trespass (guilt) offering.
7:6 Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it is most holy.
7:7 As the sin offering is, so is the trespass (guilt) offering: there is one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement (propitiation) therewith shall have it.
7:8 And the priest that offereth any man's burnt offering, even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered.
7:9 And all the meat (grain) offering that is baken in the oven, and all that is dressed in the fryingpan, and in the pan, shall be the priest's that offereth it.
7:10 And every meat (grain) offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as much as another.
7:11 And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall offer unto Yahweh.
7:12 If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.
7:13 Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.
7:14 And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation for an heave offering unto Yahweh, and it shall be the priest's that sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings.
7:15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.
7:16 But if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten:
Evidently the differences of offerings determines the rule of leftovers.
It would make sense that the sin offering not remain until the morning.
The offering of a vow, or a voluntary offering is not for sin, so if there is leftovers, it's ok to eat.
7:17 But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire.
7:18 And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.
7:19 And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that be clean (ceremonially clean) shall eat thereof.
7:20 But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain unto Yahweh, having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
1Corinthians 11:28-29
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Prince's body.
7:21 Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain unto Yahweh, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
Cut off was one of the most severe penalties of the day, and means expulsion from the area occupied by Israel.
7:22 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
7:23 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, you shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.
7:24 And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but you shall in no wise eat of it.
Found dead and livestock killed by wild animals.
7:25 For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people.
7:26 Moreover you shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.
Genesis 9:4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
7:27 Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
7:28 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
7:29 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto Yahweh shall bring his oblation unto Yahweh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.
7:30 His own hands shall bring the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, the fat with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before Yahweh.
7:31 And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'.
7:32 And the right shoulder shall you give unto the priest for an heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
7:33 He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part.
7:34 For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons by a statute for ever from among the children of Israel.
For ever meaning for a long duration. For the time of the priesthood, which expired when Christ died. Now Christ is our High Priest and mediator.
7:35 This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister unto Yahweh in the priest's office;
7:36 Which Yahweh commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them, by a statute for ever throughout their generations.
7:37 This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat (grain) offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass (guilt) offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings;
7:38 Which Yahweh commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations (offerings) unto Yahweh, in the wilderness of Sinai.
The anointing of the priests
Leviticus 8:1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
8:2 Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread;
8:3 And gather you all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting).
8:4 And Moses did as Yahweh commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting).
Jasher 83:1 And in the twelfth month, in the twenty-third day of the month, Moses took Aaron and his sons, and he dressed them in their garments, and anointed them and did unto them as Yahweh had commanded him, and Moses brought up all the offerings which Yahweh had on that day commanded him.
2 Moses afterward took Aaron and his sons and said to them, For seven days shall you remain at the door of the tabernacle, for thus am I commanded.
8:5 And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which Yahweh commanded to be done.
8:6 And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water.
8:7 And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the curious (embroidered) girdle of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith.
8:8 And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim.
8:9 And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, even upon his forefront, did he put the golden plate, the holy crown; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
8:10 And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them.
Sanctify means to consecrate, dedicate, set apart.
8:11 And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all his vessels, both the laver and his foot (stand), to sanctify them.
8:12 And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him, to sanctify him.
8:13 And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and put coats upon them, and girded them with girdles, and put bonnets upon them; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
8:14 And he brought the bullock for the sin offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering.
They imparted their sins onto the bull that was to be slaughtered.
8:15 And he slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make reconciliation (propitiation) upon it.
8:16 And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it upon the altar.
8:17 But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Because they laid their hands on the bull, it was now unclean because it carried the sin for them. Nobody could eat it. It represented sin.
8:18 And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
8:19 And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
8:20 And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat.
8:21 And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, and an offering made by fire unto Yahweh; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
In verse 20-21, this ram was burnt as an incense, they did not eat it.
8:22 And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
8:23 And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
8:24 And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes of their right feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
8:25 And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder:
8:26 And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before Yahweh, he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put them on the fat, and upon the right shoulder:
8:27 And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his sons' hands, and waved them for a wave offering before Yahweh.
8:28 And Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt offering: they were consecrations for a sweet savour: it is an offering made by fire unto Yahweh.
This ram in verses 22-28 are a different offering than the first.
Consecration means setting, installation. The context is the anointing of the priests. The priests had to be clean, both physically and spiritually, to be the servants to Yahweh and for the people.
8:29 And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before Yahweh: for of the ram of consecration (set apartness) it was Moses' part; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
8:30 And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons' garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.
8:31 And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting): and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations (basket of set apartness), as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.
8:32 And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall you burn with fire.
8:33 And you shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting) in seven days, until the days of your consecration (set apartness) be at an end: for seven days shall He (Yahweh) consecrate you (set you apart). (Jasher 83:2)
8:34 As he hath done this day, so Yahweh hath commanded to do, to make an atonement (propitiation) for you.
8:35 Therefore shall you abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting) day and night seven days, and keep the charge of Yahweh, that you die not: for so I am commanded.
8:36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which Yahweh commanded by the hand of Moses.
Chapter 8 is about the consecration of Aaron and his sons to the priesthood. All the anointing with blood was on the right side, which is a side of power, and righteousness (symbolically). They had to carefully obey all these ordinances, or die, as stated in verse 35. Very complicated rituals, all now fulfilled.
The offerings of Aaron
Leviticus 9:1 And it came to pass on the eighth day (being the first day of the first month, in the second year from the Israelites' departure from Egypt), that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;
Jasher 83:4 and erected the sanctuary, and Moses put up all the furniture of the tabernacle and all the furniture of the sanctuary, and he did all that Yahweh had commanded him.
9:2 And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before Yahweh.
9:3 And unto the children of Israel you shalt speak, saying, Take you a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering;
9:4 Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before Yahweh; and a meat (grain) offering mingled with oil: for to day Yahweh will appear unto you.
9:5 And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting): and all the congregation drew near and stood before Yahweh.
9:6 And Moses said, This is the thing which Yahweh commanded that you should do: and the glory of Yahweh shall appear unto you.
9:7 And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer your sin offering, and your burnt offering, and make an atonement (propitiation) for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement (propitiation) for them; as Yahweh commanded.
9:8 Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
9:9 And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar:
9:10 But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
9:11 And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp.
9:12 And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.
9:13 And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar.
9:14 And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the altar.
9:15 And he brought the people's offering, and took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first.
9:16 And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the manner.
9:17 And he brought the meat (grain) offering, and took an handful thereof, and burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.
9:18 He slew also the bullock and the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,
9:19 And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver:
9:20 And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar:
9:21 And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before Yahweh; as Moses commanded.
9:22 And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings.
9:23 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting), and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of Yahweh appeared unto all the people.
9:24 And there came a fire out from before Yahweh, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
Their sins were consumed by the fire of Yahweh. Yahweh lit this first fire.
Nadab and Abihu
Leviticus 10:1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before Yahweh, which He commanded them not.
Strange, zur, meaning strange to the law of Yahweh.
10:2 And there went out fire from Yahweh, and devoured them, and they died before Yahweh.
Verse 9 may tell the reason why they offered strange fire.
10:3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that Yahweh spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh Me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.
Exodus 19:22 And let the priests also, which come near to Yahweh, sanctify themselves, lest Yahweh break forth upon them.
10:4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
These men were also Levites. Only Levites were allowed near the sanctuary.
10:5 So they went near, and carried them in their coats (holy garments) out of the camp; as Moses had said.
They and their priestly garments were burned up.
10:6 And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads (with their prayer shawls), neither rend your clothes; lest you die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which Yahweh hath kindled.
Burning (H8316) indicates thorough burning, as in divine judgment.
Kindled (H8313) is destruction by fire.
The priests were not allowed to tear (rend) their holy garments.
10:7 And you shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting), lest you die: for the anointing oil of Yahweh is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.
10:8 And Yahweh spake unto Aaron, saying,
10:9 Do not drink wine nor strong drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting), lest you die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:
May have a direct connection with the death of Aaron's sons, from verse 2. Intoxication.
Luke 1:15 For he (John) shall be great in the sight of the Prince, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
10:10 And that you may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;
Ezekiel 44:23 And they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
The context of the clean and unclean refer to the animals fit for sacrifice verses animals not fit for sacrifice. The evidence shows that Nadab and Abihu got drunk and did something stupid.
10:11 And that you may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which Yahweh hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.
Nehemiah 8:8 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
10:12 And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat (grain) offering that remaineth of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy:
10:13 And you shall eat it in the holy place, because it is your due, and your sons' due, of the sacrifices of Yahweh made by fire: for so I am commanded.
10:14 And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall you eat in a clean place; you, and your sons, and your daughters with you: for they be your due, and your sons' due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.
10:15 The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before Yahweh; and it shall be yours, and your sons' with you, by a statute for ever; as Yahweh hath commanded.
10:16 And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron which were left alive, saying,
10:17 Wherefore have you not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement (propitiation) for them before Yahweh?
10:18 Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place: you should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded.
10:19 And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before Yahweh; and such things have befallen me (death of Abihu and Nadab): and if I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of Yahweh?
10:20 And when Moses heard that, he was content.
Aaron's sons may have been slain for appearing in the presence of Yahweh after they had been drinking. They profaned the holy place by an unauthorized presentation of incense and/or sacrificed unclean animals, and Yahweh consumed them with fire as an example set for priests that followed.
Clean and unclean
Leviticus 11:1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
11:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which you shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
Deuteronomy 14:4-5
4 These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
5 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
11:3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall you eat.
11:4 Nevertheless these shall you not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
11:5 And the coney (desert rabbit), because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
11:6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
11:7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
11:8 Of their flesh shall you not eat, and their carcase shall you not touch; they are unclean to you.
Isaiah 52:11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch nothing unclean; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of Yahweh.
Yes, footballs are unclean.
11:9 These shall you eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall you eat.
11:10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
11:11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; you shall not eat of their flesh, but you shall have their carcases in abomination.
11:12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
Catfish, shrimp, eels, lobster, clams, oysters, shark, turtle, etc.
11:13 And these are they which you shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage (type of vulture), and the ospray (black vulture),
11:14 And the vulture, and the kite (falcon) after his kind;
11:15 Every raven after his kind;
11:16 And the owl (ostrich), and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
11:17 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
11:18 And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
11:19 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
11:20 All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
11:21 Yet these may you eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;
11:22 Even these of them you may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle (cricket) after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.
Matthew 3:4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
11:23 But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
11:24 And for these you shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.
11:25 And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
11:26 The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.
11:27 And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.
11:28 And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.
11:29 These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,
11:30 And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail (sand lizard), and the mole.
11:31 These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
11:32 And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed.
11:33 And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and you shall break it.
11:34 Of all meat (food) which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.
11:35 And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.
11:36 Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.
11:37 And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean.
Only if dry.
11:38 But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
Water put on the seed to activate it for sowing.
11:39 And if any beast, of which you may eat, die (on it's own); he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
11:40 And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
11:41 And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
11:42 Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
11:43 You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall you make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled thereby.
11:44 For I am Yahweh your God: you shall therefore sanctify yourselves (set yourselves apart), and you shall be holy (set apart); for I am holy (set apart): neither shall you defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
1Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
11:45 For I am Yahweh that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: you shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
Psalm 105:45 That they might observe His statutes, and keep His laws. Praise ye Yahweh.
11:46 This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:
11:47 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
4Maccabees 1:33-35
33 For whence is it, otherwise, that when urged on to forbidden meats, we reject the gratification which would ensue from them? Is it not because reasoning is able to command the appetites? I believe so.
34 Hence it is, then, that when lusting after water-animals and birds, and fourfooted beasts, and all kinds of food which are forbidden us by the law, we withhold ourselves through the mastery of reasoning.
35 For the affections of our appetites are resisted by the temperate understanding, and bent back again, and all the impulses of the body are reined in by reasoning.
All of chapter 11 is still in effect. This tells us, for health reasons, not to eat scavengers and garbage disposal animals. Swine retains toxins that clean animals pass through their systems. Shellfish filter out toxic substances from the waterways, as do shrimp and lobsters. Catfish are bottom feeders, and clean up dead and decaying carcasses in the waters. Vultures and other forbidden birds have many deadly bacteria from eating rotting flesh.
Not only does this chapter have laws for our health, it is also to set Israel apart from the other nations, which these laws do not apply to.
Clean and unclean continued...
Leviticus 12:1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
12:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man (male) child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation (impurity) for her infirmity (menstrual cycle) shall she be unclean.
12:3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
This commandment is part of the Abrahamic covenant. As children of Abraham, we are under the conditions of that covenant.
Genesis 17:12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
Luke 2:21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, His name was called YAHSHUA, which was so named of the messenger before He was conceived in the womb.
12:4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.
She is ceremonially unclean because of her issue of blood. She is not to come into the holy place during this 33 days following the birth of a male child.
12:5 But if she bear a maid (female) child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation (menstrual cycle): and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.
12:6 And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting), unto the priest:
Luke 2:22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought Him to Jerusalem, to present Him to Yahweh;
12:7 Who shall offer it before Yahweh, and make an atonement (propitiation) for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that hath born a male or a female.
12:8 And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles (turtledoves), or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement (propitiation) for her, and she shall be clean.
Luke 2:24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of Yahweh, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
The Levites were the ones who the people came to while they were in the wilderness when they were plagued or sick.
When anyone had any kind of disease, it was a result of sin.
We are told, many times, that when we obey Him, He will remove sickness from us. Obedience keeps us healthy and preserved.
Laws about skin plagues
Leviticus 13:1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying,
13:2 When a man (awdawm) shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague (blemish) of leprosy (skin disease); then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:
Leprosy has been generically used in the KJV for several ailments, including house mold. Most of the time it is describing blemishes and skin disorders.
13:3 And the priest shall look on the plague (blemish) in the skin of the flesh: and when the hair in the plague (blemish) is turned white, and the plague (blemish) in sight be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy (blemish of a skin disease): and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.
13:4 If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague (blemish) seven days:
13:5 And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague (blemish) in his sight be at a stay, and the plague (blemish) spread not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up seven days more:
13:6 And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague (blemish) be somewhat dark, and the plague (blemish) spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
13:7 But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath been seen of the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest again:
13:8 And if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy (skin disease).
13:9 When the plague of leprosy (blemish of a skin disease) is in a man (awdawm), then he shall be brought unto the priest;
13:10 And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the rising be white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising (swelling);
13:11 It is an old leprosy (chronic skin disease) in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up: for he is unclean.
13:12 And if a leprosy (skin disease) break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy (skin disease) cover all the skin of him that hath the plague (blemish) from his head even to his foot, wheresoever the priest looketh;
13:13 Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy (skin disease) have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague (blemish): it is all turned white: he is clean.
13:14 But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.
If it remains active and growing, he shall be unclean. He has a skin disease, he's likely sinning and not turning from his active sinning.
13:15 And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy (skin disease).
13:16 Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest;
13:17 And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the plague (blemish) be turned into white; then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague (blemish): he is clean.
13:18 The flesh also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is healed,
Healed also means, make healthful, hence, return to The Way.
13:19 And in the place of the boil there be a white rising, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be shewed to the priest;
13:20 And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it be in sight lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague (blemish) of leprosy (skin disease) broken out of the boil.
It is a spreading infection.
13:21 But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
13:22 And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague (blemish).
13:23 But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not, it is a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
13:24 Or if there be any flesh, in the skin whereof there is a hot burning, and the quick flesh that burneth have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white;
13:25 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it be in sight deeper than the skin; it is a leprosy (skin disease) broken out of the burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague (blemish) of leprosy (skin disease).
13:26 But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the other skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
13:27 And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague (blemish) of leprosy (skin disease).
13:28 And if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not in the skin, but it be somewhat dark; it is a rising (swelling) of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is an inflammation (swelling) of the burning.
13:29 If a man or woman have a plague (blemish) upon the head or the beard;
13:30 Then the priest shall see the plague (blemish): and, behold, if it be in sight deeper than the skin; and there be in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a dry scall (scab), even a leprosy (skin disease) upon the head or beard.
13:31 And if the priest look on the plague (blemish) of the scall (scab), and, behold, it be not in sight deeper than the skin, and that there is no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague (blemish) of the scall (scab) seven days:
13:32 And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague (blemish): and, behold, if the scall (scab) spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the scall (scab) be not in sight deeper than the skin;
13:33 He shall be shaven, but the scall (scab) shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall (scab) seven days more:
13:34 And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall (scab): and, behold, if the scall (scab) be not spread in the skin, nor be in sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
13:35 But if the scall (scab) spread much in the skin after his cleansing;
13:36 Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the scall (scab) be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is unclean.
13:37 But if the scall (scab) be in his sight at a stay, and that there is black hair grown up therein; the scall (scab) is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
13:38 If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots;
13:39 Then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be darkish white; it is a freckled spot that groweth in the skin; he is clean.
13:40 And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean.
13:41 And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean.
A receding hairline.
13:42 And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore; it is a leprosy (skin disease) sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead.
13:43 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the rising of the sore be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy (skin disease) appeareth in the skin of the flesh;
13:44 He is a leprous (skin diseased) man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague (blemish) is in his head.
13:45 And the leper (diseased) in whom the plague (blemish) is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.
13:46 All the days wherein the plague (blemish) shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without (outside) the camp shall his habitation be.
Verses 44-46 are actual leprosy.
The KJV used leprosy for the previous 43 verses, which were types of skin disorders or blemishes. The next verse starts explaining about types of mildew on clothes and skins (animal hide), which the KJV has leprosy.
13:47 The garment also that the plague (blemish) of leprosy (mildew) is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment;
13:48 Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin (that is worn), or in any thing made of skin;
13:49 And if the plague (blemish) be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin (that is worn), either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a plague of leprosy (blemish of mildew), and shall be shewed unto the priest:
13:50 And the priest shall look upon the plague (blemish), and shut up it that hath the plague (blemish) seven days:
13:51 And he shall look on the plague (blemish) on the seventh day: if the plague (blemish) be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin (that is worn), or in any work that is made of skin; the plague (blemish) is a fretting leprosy (destructive mold); it is unclean.
13:52 He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy (destructive mold); it shall be burnt in the fire.
13:53 And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague (blemish) be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;
13:54 Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague (blemish) is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:
13:55 And the priest shall look on the plague (blemish), after that it is washed: and, behold, if the plague (blemish) have not changed his colour, and the plague (blemish) be not spread; it is unclean; you shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret inward, whether it be bare within or without.
13:56 And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague (blemish) be somewhat dark after the washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:
13:57 And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a spreading plague (flourishing mold): you shalt burn that wherein the plague (blemish) is with fire.
13:58 And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which you shalt wash, if the plague (blemish) be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean.
13:59 This is the law of the plague of leprosy (blemish of mildew) in a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
This chapter is notable for the miserable translation in the KJV. Blemish was translated as plague, skin disease as leprosy, and mildew as leprosy, and continues in chapter 14 when speaking of house mold.
Leprosy is a virtually incurable disease at the time, that eats away a persons flesh. If it went away on it's own, it was not leprosy. Only in verses 44-46 could this be actual leprosy.
The cleansing of lepers (those with a skin disease)
Leviticus 14:1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
14:2 This shall be the law of the leper (man with a skin disease) in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest:
Matthew 8:4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
14:3 And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague (blemish) of leprosy (skin disease) be healed in the leper (man with a skin disease);
14:4 Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean (clean for a sacrificial offering), and cedar wood, and scarlet (scarlet worm), and hyssop:
The scarlet worm was used to make the dye. The dye is made from the dried body of the female of the worm “coccus ilicis”
14:5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen (clay) vessel over running water:
14:6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet (scarlet worm), and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water:
14:7 And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy (skin disease) seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.
14:8 And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days.
14:9 But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off: and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.
14:10 And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.
A log is 2/3 of a pint, liquid measure.
14:11 And the priest that maketh him clean shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before Yahweh, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting):
14:12 And the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh:
14:13 And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place: for as the sin offering is the priest's, so is the trespass offering: it is most holy:
14:14 And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass (guilt) offering, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:
14:15 And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand:
14:16 And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before Yahweh:
14:17 And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass (guilt) offering:
14:18 And the remnant of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the priest shall make an atonement (propitiation) for him before Yahweh.
14:19 And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement (propitiation) for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering:
14:20 And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement (propitiation) for him, and he shall be clean.
14:21 And if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb for a trespass (guilt) offering to be waved, to make an atonement (propitiation) for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat (grain) offering, and a log of oil;
14:22 And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.
14:23 And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting), before Yahweh.
14:24 And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass (guilt) offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh:
14:25 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass (guilt) offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass (guilt) offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:
14:26 And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand:
14:27 And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before Yahweh:
14:28 And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass (guilt) offering:
14:29 And the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement (propitiation) for him before Yahweh.
14:30 And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get;
14:31 Even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meat (grain) offering: and the priest shall make an atonement (propitiation) for him that is to be cleansed before Yahweh.
14:32 This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy (blemish of a skin disease), whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing.
The above verses (21-32) were the provisions for the poor.
14:33 And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
14:34 When you be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy (blemish of mold) in a house of the land of your possession;
14:35 And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague (blemish) in the house:
Proverbs 3:33 The curse of Yahweh is in the house of the wicked: but He blesseth the habitation of the just.
14:36 Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague (blemish), that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:
14:37 And he shall look on the plague (blemish), and, behold, if the plague (blemish) be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall;
14:38 Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:
14:39 And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague (blemish) be spread in the walls of the house;
14:40 Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague (blemish) is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:
14:41 And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:
14:42 And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.
14:43 And if the plague (blemish) come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;
14:44 Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague (blemish) be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy (growing mold) in the house: it is unclean.
14:45 And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.
14:46 Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.
14:47 And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.
14:48 And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague (blemish) hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague (blemish) is healed.
14:49 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet (scarlet worm), and hyssop:
14:50 And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:
14:51 And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet (scarlet worm), and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:
14:52 And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet (scarlet worm):
14:53 But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement (propitiation) for the house: and it shall be clean.
14:54 This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy (blemishes of skin disease), and scall (scabs),
14:55 And for the leprosy (mildew) of a garment, and of a house,
14:56 And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:
14:57 To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy (skin disease).
Laws about uncleanness
Leviticus 15:1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
15:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh (penis), because of his issue (discharge) he is unclean.
May be referring to gonorrhea.
15:3 And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue (discharge): whether his flesh (penis) run with his issue (discharge), or his flesh (penis) be stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness.
Must be gonorrhea.
15:4 Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue (discharge), is unclean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean.
15:5 And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
15:6 And he that sitteth on any thing whereon he sat that hath the issue (discharge) shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
15:7 And he that toucheth the flesh (body) of him that hath the issue (discharge) shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
15:8 And if he that hath the issue (discharge) spit upon him that is clean; then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
15:9 And what saddle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue (discharge) shall be unclean.
15:10 And whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be unclean until the even: and he that beareth (carries) any of those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
15:11 And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the issue (discharge), and hath not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
15:12 And the vessel of earth (clay), that he toucheth which hath the issue (discharge), shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
15:13 And when he that hath an issue (discharge) is cleansed of his issue (discharge); then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.
Yep, gonorrhea.
15:14 And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before Yahweh unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting), and give them unto the priest:
15:15 And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement (propitiation) for him before Yahweh for his issue (discharge).
Next is about intercourse.
15:16 And if any man's seed of copulation (seed of lying, semen) go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even.
The seed of lying means to lie with sexually.
Deuteronomy 23:10 If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
15:17 And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation (seed of lying, semen), shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even.
15:18 The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation (seed of lying, semen), they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even.
Next is about menstruation cycle.
15:19 And if a woman have an issue (flow), and her issue (flow) in her flesh (pudenda, vagina) be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.
15:20 And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation (impurity) shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.
15:21 And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
15:22 And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
15:23 And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even.
15:24 And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers (impurity, menstrual blood) be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.
The man becomes unclean for seven days too.
15:25 And if a woman have an issue (flow) of her blood many days out of the time of her separation (impurity), or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue (flow) of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation (impurity): she shall be unclean.
Matthew 9:20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue (flow) of blood twelve years, came behind Him, and touched the hem of His garment: (Mark 5:25, Luke 8:43)
15:26 Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue (flow) shall be unto her as the bed of her separation (impurity): and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation (impurity).
15:27 And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
15:28 But if she be cleansed of her issue (flow), then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.
15:29 And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles (turtledoves), or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting).
15:30 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement (propitiation) for her before Yahweh for the issue (flow) of her uncleanness.
15:31 Thus shall you separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile My tabernacle that is among them.
15:32 This is the law of him that hath an issue (discharge), and of him whose seed (seed of lying) goeth from him, and is defiled (unclean) therewith;
15:33 And of her that is sick of her flowers (impurity, period), and of him that hath an issue (discharge), of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.
The day of Atonement
Leviticus 16:1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before Yahweh, and died;
16:2 And Yahweh said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron your brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat (lid), which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat (lid).
3Maccabees 1:11 And when they told him that this was not permissible, none of the nation, no, nor even the priests in general, but only the supreme high priest of all, and he only once in a year, being allowed to go in, he would by no means give way.
16:3 Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
16:4 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on.
16:5 And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.
16:6 And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement (propitiation) for himself, and for his house.
16:7 And he shall take the two goats, and present them before Yahweh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting).
16:8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for Yahweh, and the other lot for the scapegoat.
Azazel (H5799), goat of departure. Also the name of a desert demon to whom sin was imputed.
Enoch 8:1 And Azazel taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways.
9:6 Thou seest what Azazel hath done, who hath taught all unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets which were (preserved) in heaven, which men were striving to learn:
10:4 And again Yahweh said to Raphael: 'Bind Azazel hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening in the desert, which is in Dudael, and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he may not see light. And on the day of the great judgment he shall be cast into the fire. And heal the earth which the angels have corrupted, and proclaim the healing of the earth, that they may heal the plague, and that all the children of men may not perish through all the secret things that the Watchers have disclosed and have taught their sons. And the whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by Azazel: to him ascribe all sin.'
13:1 And Enoch went and said: 'Azazel, thou shalt have no peace: a severe sentence has gone forth against thee to put thee in bonds: And thou shalt not have toleration nor request granted to thee, because of the unrighteousness which thou hast taught, and because of all the works of godlessness and unrighteousness and sin which thou hast shown to men.'
54:1 And I looked and turned to another part of the earth, and saw there a deep valley with burning fire. And they brought the kings and the mighty, and began to cast them into this deep valley. And there mine eyes saw how they made these their instruments, iron chains of immeasurable weight. And I asked the angel of peace who went with me, saying: ' For whom are these chains being prepared ? ' And he said unto me: ' These are being prepared for the hosts of Azazel, so that they may take them and cast them into the abyss of complete condemnation, and they shall cover their jaws with rough stones as Yahweh of Spirits commanded. And Michael, and Gabriel, and Raphael, and Phanuel shall take hold of them on that great day, and cast them on that day into the burning furnace, that Yahweh of Spirits may take vengeance on them for their unrighteousness in becoming subject to Satan and leading astray those who dwell on the earth.'
55:3 When I have desired to take hold of them by the hand of the angels on the day of tribulation and pain because of this, I will cause My chastisement and My wrath to abide upon them, saith God, Yahweh of Spirits. Ye mighty kings who dwell on the earth, ye shall have to behold Mine Elect One, how He sits on the throne of glory and judges Azazel, and all his associates, and all his hosts in the name of Yahweh of Spirits.'
16:9 And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which Yahweh's lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering.
16:10 But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat (Azazel), shall be presented alive before Yahweh, to make an atonement (propitiation) with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat (Azazel) into the wilderness.
1John 2:2 And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world (society).
16:11 And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an atonement (propitiation) for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself:
16:12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before Yahweh, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail:
16:13 And he shall put the incense upon the fire before Yahweh, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat (lid) that is upon the testimony, that he die not:
16:14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat (lid) eastward; and before the mercy seat (lid) shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.
16:15 Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat (lid), and before the mercy seat (lid):
16:16 And he shall make an atonement (propitiation) for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting), that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness.
16:17 And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting) when he goeth in to make an atonement (propitiation) in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement (propitiation) for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel.
16:18 And he shall go out unto the altar that is before Yahweh, and make an atonement (propitiation) for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about.
16:19 And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it (set it apart) from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
16:20 And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting), and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:
16:21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:
16:22 And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
Isaiah 53:11-12
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by His knowledge shall My righteous servant justify many; for He shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong; because He hath poured out His soul unto death: and He was numbered with the transgressors; and He bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
16:23 And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting), and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there:
16:24 And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement (propitiation) for himself, and for the people.
16:25 And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn (as an incense) upon the altar.
16:26 And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat (Azazel) shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.
16:27 And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement (propitiation) in the holy place, shall one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.
16:28 And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
16:29 And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls (by fasting), and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger (of kin) that sojourneth among you:
16:30 For on that day shall the priest make an atonement (propitiation) for you, to cleanse you, that you may be clean from all your sins before Yahweh.
Jeremiah 33:8 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against Me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against Me.
16:31 It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and you shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.
This is a fast. No food or drink for 24 hours.
16:32 And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest's office in his father's stead, shall make the atonement (propitiation), and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments:
16:33 And he shall make an atonement (propitiation) for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement (propitiation) for the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting), and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement (propitiation) for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation.
16:34 And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an atonement (propitiation) for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Chapter 16 was fulfilled by Yahshua.
We celebrate the day of atonement by fasting and honoring Yahweh.
Scapegoat is a “church” term. Azazel, H5799 is the goat of departure or removal.
Atonement was not the proper term for what occurred on the Holy Day. It was a covering over of sin until the next year. Propitiation is the accurate term used in translation. Azazel is used as a proper name in the older texts. The demon to whom all the yearly sin was sent, symbolically, when the priest laid his hands on the goat that was to be the 'goat of release'.
All the blood that was shed for the remission of sins and purifying the priests, altar and tent of meeting is no longer needed.
The priesthood and it's ordinances expired. We now offer spiritual sacrifices. That means walking in The Way, obedience and allegiance, loving our brethren, and of course, loving Yahweh.
Special sacrifices
Leviticus 17:1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
17:2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them; This is the thing which Yahweh hath commanded, saying,
17:3 What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,
17:4 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting), to offer an offering unto Yahweh before the tabernacle of Yahweh; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:
17:5 To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto Yahweh, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting), unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto Yahweh.
17:6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of Yahweh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting), and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto Yahweh.
17:7 And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils (goat demons), after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.
Whoring is fornication, as these pagan rites included sexual behavior and race mixing.
Devils in verse 7 is H8163, sa'iyr sa'ir. Goat demon. Satyr. Half man half goat pagan god. Satyr's day.
17:8 And you shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice,
17:9 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting), to offer it unto Yahweh; even that man shall be cut off from among his people.
17:10 And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers (of kin) that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set My face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. (Gen 9:4, Deut 12:16,23)
17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement (propitiation) for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement (propitiation) for the soul.
Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
Matthew 26:28 For this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace (favor);
17:12 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger (of kin) that sojourneth among you eat blood.
17:13 And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers (of kin) that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.
17:14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, you shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
17:15 And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger (of kin), he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.
17:16 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
Note: Jewish Rabbis bite with their teeth to circumcise babies and suck the blood up. There are many articles that document this ritual, especially in New York. This is NOT something the children of God do! This is because the Jews are NOT Israel, they are of Cain and Esau.
Unlawful sexual relations
Leviticus 18:1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
18:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am Yahweh your God.
18:3 After the doings (works)(beliefs and practices) of the land of Egypt, wherein you dwelt, shall you not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall you not do: neither shall you walk in their ordinances.
18:4 You shall do My judgments, and keep Mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am Yahweh your God.
18:5 You shall therefore keep My statutes, and My judgments: which if a man (Adam) do, he shall live in them: I am Yahweh.
Nehemiah 9:29 And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.
Ezekiel 18:9 Hath walked in My statutes, and hath kept My judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith Yahweh GOD.

18:7 The nakedness of your father, or the nakedness of your mother, shalt you not uncover: she is your mother; you shalt not uncover her nakedness.

Leviticus 20:11 And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Deuteronomy 22:30 A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his father's skirt.
27:20 Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife; because he uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen.
1Corinthians 5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the nations, that one should have his father's wife.

18:12 You shalt not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister: she is your father's near kinswoman.
Aunt.
18:13 You shalt not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister: for she is your mother's near kinswoman.

18:16 You shalt not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife: it is your brother's nakedness.
18:17 You shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt you take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness. (Lev 20:14)
Deuteronomy 27:23 Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amen.
18:18 Neither shalt you take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
Sisters that are alive.
18:19 Also you shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness (impurity, menstrual cycle).
18:20 Moreover you shalt not lie carnally (to give seed of copulation) with your neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
18:21 And you shalt not let any of your seed (seedline, children) pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt you profane the name of your God: I am Yahweh.
18:22 You shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

18:23 Neither shalt you lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion (perversion).
Exodus 22:19 Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
Deuteronomy 27:21 Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen.
Beast in the above verses and references are 4 legged beasts, and 2 legged beasts.
18:24 Defile not you yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
The nations He cast out were the other races. Yahweh forbids race mixing.
1Corinthians 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy (separate), which temple ye are.
18:25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.

18:26 You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger (of kin) that sojourneth among you:
18:27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
18:28 That the land spue (vomit) not you out also, when you defile it, as it spued (vomited) out the nations that were before you.
Jeremiah 9:19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.
18:29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
18:30 Therefore shall you keep Mine ordinance, that you commit not any one of these abominable customs (practices), which were committed before you, and that you defile not yourselves therein: I am Yahweh your God.
Chapter 18 are all sex laws, and set Israel apart from all the pagan nations around them. Verse 5 states who these laws were given to, man (H120, awdawm). This would be Adamkind and his descendants, the white race. These laws still stand today. Yahweh wants pure, undefiled children.
Personal conduct
Leviticus 19:1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
19:2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, you shall be holy: for I Yahweh your God am holy.
Holy means set apart, dedicated to Yahweh.
1Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
19:3 You shall fear (revere) every man his mother, and his father, and keep My sabbaths: I am Yahweh your God.
19:4 Turn you not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten (caste) gods: I am Yahweh your God.
19:5 And if you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto Yahweh, you shall offer it at your own will.
19:6 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.
19:7 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted.
All these OT books are patterns and symbolism of the Judgment Day and life after.
Hosea 6:2 After two days will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight.
19:8 Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of Yahweh: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
19:9 And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shalt not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shalt you gather the gleanings of your harvest.
Deuteronomy 24:19 When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger (of kin), for the fatherless, and for the widow: that Yahweh thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.
19:10 And you shalt not glean your vineyard, neither shalt you gather every grape of your vineyard; you shalt leave them for the poor and stranger (of kin): I am Yahweh your God.
4Maccabees 2:9 And should a man be parsimonious (covetous), he is ruled by the law acting through reasoning; so that he does not glean his harvest crops, nor vintage: and in reference to other points we may perceive that it is reasoning that conquers his passions.
19:11 You shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
Ephesians 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
19:12 And you shall not swear by My name falsely, neither shalt you profane the name of your God: I am Yahweh.
Matthew 5:33-37
33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto Yahweh thine oaths:
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
35 Nor by the earth; for it is His footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
19:13 You shalt not defraud your neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.
19:14 You shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear your God: I am Yahweh.
Deuteronomy 27:18 Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen.
19:15 You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: you shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt you judge your neighbour.
The “churches” teach that you shouldn't judge.
Yahweh teaches us here in verse 15 that we must judge. Righteously would be according to His laws, statutes, commandments and judgments. If we don't judge each other when we fall out of The Way, the result is the society we live in, just like today. What is Christian about our society today? Nothing!
19:16 You shalt not go up and down as a talebearer (deceitfully, gossip) among your people: neither shalt you stand against the blood of your neighbour: I am Yahweh.
Exodus 23:1,7
1 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
7 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
19:17 You shalt not hate your brother (racial brother) in thine heart: you shalt in any wise rebuke your neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
Correct your neighbor if he errs.
Matthew 18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
19:18 You shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shalt love your neighbour as thyself: I am Yahweh.
Galatians 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
James 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
19:19 You shall keep My statutes. You shalt not let your cattle gender with a diverse kind (mixed breed): you shalt not sow your field with mingled seed (mixed seed): neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.
Yahweh does not approve of race mixing.
Deuteronomy 22:9-11
9 Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled.
10 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.
19:20 And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
19:21 And he shall bring his trespass (guilt) offering unto Yahweh, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting), even a ram for a trespass (guilt) offering.
19:22 And the priest shall make an atonement (propitiation) for him with the ram of the trespass (guilt) offering before Yahweh for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.
19:23 And when you shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then you shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.
Uncircumcised here means unclean.
19:24 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise Yahweh withal.
19:25 And in the fifth year shall you eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am Yahweh your God.
Yahweh has His reasons for these laws. Our test is to follow them, and we will be blessed.
19:26 You shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall you use enchantment, nor observe times.
19:27 You shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt you mar the corners of your beard.
Referencing the Canaanites and surrounding nations (races) ways. Not to imitate them.
19:28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am Yahweh.
Tattoos.
19:29 Do not prostitute your daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of (sexual) wickedness.
19:30 You shall keep My sabbaths, and reverence My sanctuary: I am Yahweh.
19:31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am Yahweh your God.
Exodus 22:18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
Isaiah 8:19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
19:32 You shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear your God: I am Yahweh.
1Timothy 5:1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;
19:33 And if a stranger (of kin) sojourn with thee in your land, you shall not vex (oppress) him.
19:34 But the stranger (of kin) that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and you shalt love him as thyself; for you were strangers (of kin) in the land of Egypt: I am Yahweh your God.
19:35 You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.
Proverbs 20:10 Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to Yahweh.
19:36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall you have: I am Yahweh your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
19:37 Therefore shall you observe all My statutes, and all My judgments, and do them: I am Yahweh.
Punishments for sin
Leviticus 20:1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
20:2 Again, you shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers (of kin) that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
Molech was the god of the Ammonites. They would sacrifice their children by fire. Today, abortion would be the same thing.
20:3 And I will set My face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile My sanctuary, and to profane My holy name.
20:4 And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:
20:5 Then I will set My face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.
This is part of our job of judging our brethren. Just like 19:15 states. We are not to look the other way, we are to stand for obedience.
20:6 And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set My face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
20:7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be you holy (separate): for I am Yahweh your God.
20:8 And you shall keep My statutes, and do them: I am Yahweh which sanctify you.
20:9 For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him. (Exo 21:17)
Matthew 15:4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
20:10 And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
20:11 And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
20:12 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion (incest); their blood shall be upon them.
20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
The “churches” accept homosexuals, they even marry them.
Yahweh is very clear in verse 13 about how He feels about it.
Deuteronomy 23:17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
20:14 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.
20:15 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and you shall slay the beast.
Two legged and four legged.
20:16 And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, you shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
This is talking about race mixing. While bestiality is also forbidden, an animal is not a willing participant. The them are people.
On the other hand:
'Lie down with' is also defined as ravish, perform, render, etc.
There are many examples of men sexually ravishing animals, and women being ravished by animals.
20:17 And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
20:18 And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness (menstruation), and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
No sex while menstruating.
20:19 And you shalt not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, nor of your father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.
Aunt.
20:20 And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
20:21 And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.
20:22 You shall therefore keep all My statutes, and all My judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue (vomit) you not out.
20:23 And you shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
The nations Yahweh cast out were the Canaanites and Edomites. Jews! The Jews are descendants of Cain and Esau. The Jews are NOT Israel. Jacob's children are Israelites. The descendants of the Israelites are the white nations of the world today. Queen Elizabeth II is a descendant of the tribe of Judah.
20:24 But I have said unto you, you shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am Yahweh your God, which have separated you from other people.
20:25 You shall therefore put difference (separation) between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and you shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.
But the “churches” love to teach you that you can eat pork. Yahweh does not change!
He is referring to ceremonially clean animal sacrifices.
20:26 And you shall be holy (separate) unto Me: for I Yahweh am holy, and have severed you from other people, that you should be Mine.
Yahweh is an exclusive God to an exclusive race of people.
1Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy (separate); for I am holy (separate).
20:27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.
Sanctity of the priesthood
Leviticus 21:1 And Yahweh said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:
21:2 But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,
21:3 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.
The Septuagint ends as: “...;for these one shall defile himself.”
Ceremonially unclean if he goes to their funeral.
21:4 But he shall not defile himself (be ceremonially unclean), being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
21:5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
No imitating Canaanite customs.
21:6 They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.
21:7 They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his God.
Ezekiel 44:22 Neither shall they (priests) take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.
21:8 You shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of your God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I Yahweh, which sanctify you, am holy.
21:9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire. (Gen 38:24 Judah and Tamar)
21:10 And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes;
21:11 Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;
Numbers 19:14 This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
21:12 Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am Yahweh.
The high priest could not handle any dead bodies.
21:13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
21:14 A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.
21:15 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I Yahweh do sanctify him.
21:16 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
21:17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of your seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
21:18 For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
21:19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
21:20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf (daq- meaning unknown), or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy (skin disease), or scabbed, or hath his stones (testicles) broken (crushed);
Septuagint: 20 or hump-backed, or blear-eyed, or that has lost his eye-lashes, or a man who has a malignant ulcer, or tetter, or one that has lost a testicle.
Deuteronomy 23:1 He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of Yahweh.
21:21 No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
21:22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
21:23 Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not My sanctuaries: for I Yahweh do sanctify them.
21:24 And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
Chapter 21 is for the Levitical priests. This has been done away with because Yahshua Christ is our mediator and high priest now.
Sacrifices of animals
Leviticus 22:1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
22:2 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate (consecrate) themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not My holy name in those things which they hallow unto Me: I am Yahweh.
22:3 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto Yahweh, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from My presence: I am Yahweh.
22:4 What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper (an actual leper), or hath a running issue (discharge); he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;
22:5 Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;
22:6 The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water.
22:7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food.
This is just one of the verses that show that the new day begins at sundown.
22:8 That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am Yahweh.
Exodus 22:31 And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
22:9 They shall therefore keep Mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I Yahweh do sanctify them.
Exodus 28:43 And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting), or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute for ever unto him and his seed after him.
22:10 There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
Stranger here is zur. A foreigner, strange to the law, and not of the seed of the priests.
22:11 But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat.
Septuagint: 11 But if a priest should have a soul (person) purchased for money, he shall eat of his bread; and they that are born in his house, they also shall eat of his bread.
22:12 If the priest's daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
Stranger here is zur. Not of the seed of Aaron.
22:13 But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's meat: but there shall no stranger eat thereof. (Gen 38:11 Tamar was a Levite)
Stranger here is zur. Not of the house of Aaron.
22:14 And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the priest with the holy thing.
22:15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto Yahweh;
22:16 Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I Yahweh do sanctify them.
22:17 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
22:18 Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers (of kin) in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto Yahweh for a burnt offering;
Stranger here is gare. Israelite kinsman.
22:19 you shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
22:20 But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall you not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.
Deuteronomy 15:21 And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto Yahweh thy God.
Malachi 1:8,14
8 And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith Yahweh of hosts.
14 But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto Yahweh a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith Yahweh of hosts, and My name is dreadful among the heathen.
22:21 And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto Yahweh to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.
22:22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen (running sore), or scurvy, or scabbed, you shall not offer these unto Yahweh, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto Yahweh.
22:23 Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous (deformed, extra member) or lacking in his parts, that mayest you offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
22:24 You shall not offer unto Yahweh that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken (torn), or cut; neither shall you make any offering thereof in your land.
22:25 Neither from a stranger's hand shall you offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in them: they shall not be accepted for you.
Stranger here is nekar. Nekar is an alien, one from another race.
Their corruption is in them. A possible statement that the other races indeed were created by the fallen angels.
Yahweh does not want anything from aliens.
22:26 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
22:27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto Yahweh.
22:28 And whether it be cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and her young both in one day.
22:29 And when you will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto Yahweh, offer it at your own will.
Psalm 107:22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
116:17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Yahweh.
22:30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; you shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am Yahweh.
22:31 Therefore shall you keep My commandments, and do them: I am Yahweh.
22:32 Neither shall you profane My holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am Yahweh which hallow you,
22:33 That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Yahweh.
Feasts of Yahweh
Leviticus 23:1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
23:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the (appointed) feasts of Yahweh, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations (high sabbaths), even these are My (appointed) feasts.
23:3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation (high sabbath); you shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of Yahweh in all your dwellings.
23:4 These are the feasts of Yahweh, even holy convocations (high sabbaths), which you shall proclaim in their seasons.
Exodus 23:14 Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto Me in the year.
23:5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is Yahweh's passover.
Passover. Fourteen days after the spring equinox.
Exodus 12:14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to Yahweh throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
23:6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto Yahweh: seven days you must eat unleavened bread.
Feast of Unleavened Bread. No leaven products for seven days after the Passover.
23:7 In the first day you shall have an holy convocation (high sabbath): you shall do no servile work therein.
Exodus 12:16 And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
23:8 But you shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation (high sabbath): you shall do no servile work therein.
23:9 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
23:10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When you be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
23:11 And he shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
Wave Sheaf Offering. Represents the resurrection.
23:12 And you shall offer that day when you wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto Yahweh.
23:13 And the meat (grain) offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto Yahweh for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
23:14 And you shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that you have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever (a very long time) throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
We don't have the physical temple anymore and do not offer sacrifices of burnt offerings anymore. It is spiritual sacrifice we are to offer. Obedience.
23:15 And you shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
Exodus 34:22 And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.
Countdown to Pentecost.
23:16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall you number fifty days; and you shall offer a new meat (grain) offering unto Yahweh.
23:17 You shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto Yahweh.
23:18 And you shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto Yahweh, with their meat (grain) offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto Yahweh.
23:19 Then you shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
23:20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before Yahweh, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to Yahweh for the priest.
23:21 And you shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation (high sabbath) unto you: you shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
23:22 And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of your field when you reapest, neither shalt you gather any gleaning of your harvest: you shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger (of kin): I am Yahweh your God.
23:23 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall you have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation (high sabbath).
Numbers 29:1 And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation (high sabbath); ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you.
Feast of Trumpets. Fall equinox.
23:25 You shall do no servile work therein: but you shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh.
23:26 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
23:27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement (propitiation): it shall be an holy convocation (high sabbath) unto you; and you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh.
Day of Atonement. A day of fasting.
23:28 And you shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement (propitiation), to make an atonement (propitiation) for you before Yahweh your God.
23:29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
23:30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
23:31 You shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
23:32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and you shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall you celebrate your sabbath.
It begins in the evening. Sundown. Sundown to sundown.
23:33 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
23:34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto Yahweh.
Exodus 23:16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.
Deuteronomy 16:13 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:
Feast of Tabernacles. Guess who tabernacles with us if we have repented?
23:35 On the first day shall be an holy convocation (high sabbath): you shall do no servile work therein.
23:36 Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation (high sabbath) unto you; and you shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh: it is a solemn assembly; and you shall do no servile work therein.
Nehemiah 8:18 Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the manner.
23:37 These are the (appointed) feasts of Yahweh, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations (high sabbaths), to offer an offering made by fire unto Yahweh, a burnt offering, and a meat (grain) offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
We don't do these offerings by fire and grain, drink, etc any longer because there is no temple or priesthood anymore. The priesthood and it's ordinances expired when Christ died and became our High Priest. He is now our mediator to Yahweh.
We are to observe the feasts without the sacrifices and burnt offerings. It is now about fellowship with our kinsman, living, learning, teaching, proclaiming and worshiping Yahweh.
23:38 Beside the sabbaths of Yahweh, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which you give unto Yahweh.
23:39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep a feast unto Yahweh seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath (high sabbath), and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath (high sabbath).
23:40 And you shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God seven days.
Nehemiah 8:15 And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths (or tents), as it is written.
23:41 And you shall keep it a feast unto Yahweh seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: you shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
The festival of booths. Observing the memory of our ancestors when they were led out of Egypt. Time to camp and respect and observe our history and our God.
23:42 You shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
23:43 That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths (tents), when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am Yahweh your God.
23:44 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of Yahweh.
Oil and showbread
Leviticus 24:1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
24:2 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto you pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.
Exodus 27:20 And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always.
24:3 Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation (tent of meeting), shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before Yahweh continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations.
24:4 He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick (lampstand, menorah) before Yahweh continually.
The menorah is not what they use during Hannukah. That menorah has one more light added to it, which is dedicated to the miracle of Yahweh performed when the temple was being cleansed and rededicated. Yahweh kept the lamp burning for eight days when they only had oil for one day. John 10 calls it the feast of dedication, which Christ attended.
24:5 And you shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake.
24:6 And you shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before Yahweh.
24:7 And you shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto Yahweh.
24:8 Every sabbath he shall set it in order before Yahweh continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.
24:9 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire by a perpetual statute.
24:10 And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove (quarreled) together in the camp;
24:11 And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of Yahweh, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)
24:12 And they put him in ward, that the mind of Yahweh might be shewed them.
24:13 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
24:14 Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
24:15 And you shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.
24:16 And he that blasphemeth the name of Yahweh, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger (of kin), as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of Yahweh, shall be put to death.
24:17 And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.
Exodus 21:12 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death. (Num 35:31)
24:18 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.
24:19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;
Exodus 21:24-25
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
Deuteronomy 19:21 And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
24:20 Breach (fracture) for breach (fracture), eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.
24:21 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.
24:22 You shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger (of kin), as for one of your own country: for I am Yahweh your God.
Exodus 12:49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger (of kin) that sojourneth among you.
24:23 And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Sabbath and jubilee years
Leviticus 25:1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
25:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When you come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto Yahweh.
Exodus 23:10 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:
25:3 Six years you shalt sow your field, and six years you shalt prune your vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
25:4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for Yahweh: you shalt neither sow your field, nor prune your vineyard.
We don't practice this today. As a result our food is not as nutritious today. For punishment, Yahweh is allowing the enemy to feed us with GMO hybrids.
25:5 That which groweth of its own accord of your harvest you shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of your vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.
25:6 And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for you, and for your servant, and for your maid, and for your hired servant, and for your stranger that sojourneth with you,
Stranger here is toshab.
25:7 And for your cattle, and for the beast that are in your land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.
25:8 And you shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.
25:9 Then shalt you cause the trumpet of the jubilee (sound of ram's horns) to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement (propitiation) shall you make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
The Jubilee starts on the Day of Atonement in the 49th year and lasts until the Day of Atonement the following year.
Example: 49 years. The '50th' year is symbolic. This Yobel year would be within the 49th and 50th year. The next Yobel year would be within the 98th and 99th year. 147th and 148th, etc.
25:10 And you shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and you shall return every man unto his possession, and you shall return every man unto his family.
Isaiah 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of Yahweh, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
63:4 For the day of vengeance is in Mine heart, and the year of My redeemed is come.
25:11 A jubilee (Yobel year) shall that fiftieth year be unto you: you shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of your vine undressed.
25:12 For it is the jubilee (Yobel year); it shall be holy (set apart) unto you: you shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.
25:13 In the year of this jubilee (Yobel year) you shall return every man unto his possession.
25:14 And if you sell ought unto your neighbour, or buyest ought of your neighbour's hand, you shall not oppress one another:
25:15 According to the number of years after the jubilee (Yobel year) you shalt buy of your neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto you:
25:16 According to the multitude of years you shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years you shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.
As the jubilee year approaches, don't make any long term commitments.
25:17 You shall not therefore oppress one another; but you shalt fear (revere) your God: for I am Yahweh your God.
25:18 Wherefore you shall do My statutes, and keep My judgments, and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety.
25:19 And the land shall yield her fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.
Ezekiel 34:25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
25:20 And if you shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
25:21 Then I will command My blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
25:22 And you shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in you shall eat of the old store.
25:23 The land shall not be sold for ever (in finality): for the land is Mine; for you are strangers (of kin) and sojourners with Me.
We are His landlords, we are His house holders. We are supposes to take care of it.
Deuteronomy 32:43 Rejoice, O ye nations, His people: for He will avenge the blood of His servants, and will render vengeance to His adversaries, and will be merciful unto His land, to His people.
25:24 And in all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption (right of kindred redemption) for the land.
25:25 If your brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it (buy it back as kinsman redeemer), then shall he redeem (buy it back as kinsman redeemer) that which his brother sold.
25:26 And if the man have none (no near kinsman) to redeem it (buy it back as kinsman redeemer), and himself be able to redeem it (buy it back for the price of redemption);
25:27 Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.
25:28 But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee (Yobel year): and in the jubilee (Yobel year) it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.
25:29 And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it (buy it back for the price of redemption) within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it (buy it back for the price of redemption).
25:30 And if it be not redeemed (bought back for the price of redemption) within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee (Yobel year).
25:31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed (bought back for the price of redemption), and they shall go out in the jubilee (Yobel year).
25:32 Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem (buy back for the price of redemption) at any time.
25:33 And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubilee: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
25:34 But the field of the suburbs (pastures) of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
25:35 And if your brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay (strength) with you; then you shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger (of kin), or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.
25:36 Take you no usury of him, or increase: but fear your God; that your brother may live with thee.
Exodus 22:25 If thou lend money to any of My people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.
25:37 You shalt not give him your money upon usury, nor lend him your victuals for increase.
25:38 I am Yahweh your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
25:39 And if your brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; you shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:
25:40 But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubilee (Yobel year):
25:41 And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.
25:42 For they are My servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.
25:43 You shalt not rule over him with rigour (cruelty); but shalt fear (revere) your God.
Exodus 1:13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:
Ephesians 6:9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with Him.
25:44 Both your bondmen, and your bondmaids, which you shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall you buy bondmen and bondmaids.
25:45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall you buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.
Strangers here is toshab. Not Israelites.
25:46 And you shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, you shall not rule one over another with rigour (cruelty).
25:47 And if a sojourner (gare) or stranger (toshab) wax rich by you, and your brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger (gare) or sojourner (toshab) by you, or to the stock of the stranger's (gare) family:
25:48 After that he is sold he may be redeemed (bought back for the price of redemption) again; one of his brethren may redeem him (buy him back for the price of redemption):
25:49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him (act as kinsman redeemer), or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him (act as kinsman redeemer); or if he be able, he may redeem himself (act as kinsman redeemer).
25:50 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubilee (Yobel year): and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.
Job 7:1 Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?
25:51 If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
25:52 And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubilee (Yobel year), then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.
25:53 And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in your sight.
25:54 And if he be not redeemed (ransomed) in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, both he, and his children with him.
25:55 For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are My servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am Yahweh your God.

Psalm 4:8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for Thou, Yahweh, only makest me dwell in safety.

26:9 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish My covenant with you.

26:13 I am Yahweh your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
26:14 But if you will not hearken unto Me, and will not do all these commandments;
26:15 And if you shall despise (reject) My statutes, or if your soul abhor My judgments, so that you will not do all My commandments, but that you break My covenant:
26:16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague (fever), that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and you shall sow your seed in vain, for your (hated) enemies shall eat it.

26:18 And if you will not yet for all this hearken unto Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
2520 years punishment (7x360). This began in 745BC with the Assyrian invasion and ended with the regathering of the tribes of Israel in 1776, the birth of America.
Septuagint: 1Samuel 2:5 They that were full of bread are brought low; and the hungry have forsaken the land; for the barren has born seven, and she that abounded in children has waxed feeble.
26:19 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven (sky) as iron, and your earth (land) as brass (bronze):

Zechariah 7:14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations (races) whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.
When we pure Israelites race mix, we produce a bastard. This robs Yahweh of pure children. Yahweh demands kind after kind, seed after seed, no mingling, no mixing, no hybrids.
Deuteronomy 23:2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of Yahweh; even to his tenth generation (for ever) shall he not enter into the congregation of Yahweh.
26:23 And if you will not be reformed by Me by these things, but will walk contrary unto Me;

Jeremiah 2:30 In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
Psalm 18:26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

26:26 And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.

Psalm 105:16 Moreover He called for a famine upon the land: He brake the whole staff of bread.

26:30 And I will destroy your high places (pagan worship sites), and cut down your images (sun pillars), and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and My soul shall abhor you.
The steeple (sun pillar) of a church is actually a symbol of the Egyptian sun god. A Romish Pope commanded this to be done. Catholicism is a universal religion that did not Christianize paganism, it Paganized Christianity.
26:31 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.
Look at D.C., Detroit, Chicago. Once thriving industrial cities, built by law abiding God fearing white America, destroyed by the other races.
Psalm 74:7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.

26:34 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and you be in your (hated) enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
2Chronicles 36:21 To fulfil the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.
26:35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when you dwelt upon it.
The children of Israel did not keep the land sabbath for 70 years. The Babylonian captivity was 70 years.
26:36 And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their (hated) enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.
26:37 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and you shall have no power to stand before your (hated) enemies.
26:38 And you shall perish among the heathen (the nations), and the land of your (hated) enemies shall eat you up.
26:39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your (hated) enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.
26:40 If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against Me, and that also they have walked contrary unto Me;
Nehemiah 9:2 And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers (the other races), and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.
26:41 And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their (hated) enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
Acts 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers did, so do ye.
26:42 Then will I remember My covenant with Jacob, and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.
26:43 The land also shall be left of them (abandoned), and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised My judgments, and because their soul abhorred My statutes.
26:44 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their (hated) enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break My covenant with them: for I am Yahweh their God.
3Maccabees 6:15 Let it be shewn to all the nations that thou art with us, O Yahweh, and hast not turned thy face away from us; but as thou saidst that thou wouldst not forget them even in the land of their (hated) enemies, so do thou fulfil this saying, O Yahweh.
Deuteronomy 4:31 (For Yahweh thy God is a merciful God;) He will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which He sware unto them.
2Kings 13:23 And Yahweh was gracious unto them (Israel), and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast He them from His presence as yet.
26:45 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen (the nations), that I might be their God: I am Yahweh.
26:46 These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which Yahweh made between Him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
Vows and tithes
Leviticus 27:1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
27:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for Yahweh by your estimation.
Verses 2-33 concerns a dedication of men, women, beasts, land, etc., to Yahweh. The priest would estimate the value in temple shekels of what was dedicated. This was the price for redeeming the thing dedicated.
27:3 And your estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even your estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
27:4 And if it be a female, then your estimation shall be thirty shekels.
27:5 And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then your estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
27:6 And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then your estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female your estimation shall be three shekels of silver.
27:7 And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then your estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
27:8 But if he be poorer than your estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.
27:9 And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto Yahweh, all that any man giveth of such unto Yahweh shall be holy.
27:10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.
27:11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto Yahweh, then he shall present the beast before the priest:
The context is beasts fit for sacrifice. The unclean beasts would be animals for labor, horses, ass, etc.
27:12 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as you valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.
27:13 But if he will at all redeem it (by payment), then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto your estimation.
27:14 And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto Yahweh, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.
27:15 And if he that sanctified it will redeem (by payment) his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your estimation unto it, and it shall be his.
27:16 And if a man shall sanctify unto Yahweh some part of a field of his possession, then your estimation shall be according to the seed (seed production) thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
27:17 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee (Yobel year), according to your estimation it shall stand.
27:18 But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee (Yobel year), then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubilee (Yobel year), and it shall be abated from your estimation.
27:19 And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it (by payment), then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.
27:20 And if he will not redeem (by payment) the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed (by payment) any more.
27:21 But the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee (Yobel year), shall be holy unto Yahweh, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.
27:22 And if a man sanctify unto Yahweh a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;
27:23 Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of your estimation, even unto the year of the jubilee (Yobel year): and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto Yahweh.
27:24 In the year of the jubilee (Yobel year) the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.
27:25 And all your estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
27:26 Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be Yahweh's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is Yahweh's.
27:27 And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem (ransom) it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed (by payment), then it shall be sold according to your estimation.
27:28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto Yahweh of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto Yahweh.
27:29 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed (ransomed); but shall surely be put to death.
No clean animal can be redeemed. It was devoted for sacrifice.
27:30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is Yahweh's : it is holy unto Yahweh.
27:31 And if a man will at all redeem (by payment) ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.
27:32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto Yahweh.
Apparently they were able to buy back their tithes. Either way the priests would receive a tithe, or the value of the tithe + 20%.
27:33 He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed (by payment).
27:34 These are the commandments, which Yahweh commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
LEVITICUS – CHURCH DOCTRINE VS. SCRIPTURE
Below are 2 sources of what the modern churches preach today about the book of Leviticus.
The purpose is to expose the apostasy and perversion of the scriptures, and to educate our people about the truth of our heritage. That we, the anglo-saxon race who are the descendants of ancient Israel, are the people of Abraham's seed and therefore the heirs of the promises of Yahweh. Not the Jews who distort and pervert the scriptures and teach the 'traditions of men'.

Leviticus is composed of two basic genres Narrative History and Law. It was written by Moses about 1445-1444 B.C. The setting of Leviticus mainly appears to take place at Mt. Sinai. The key personalities of Leviticus include Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu Eleazar, and Ithamar.
It was written to draw the Israelites to the understanding of the infinite holiness of God, and that He desires them to act in a holy manner toward Himself. In doing this, God gives them many instructions to carry out. It describes Moses giving procedural instructions for the Israelites, especially to the Levitical priests, about how they are to carry out offerings, ceremonies, and celebrations. The word “Holy” is mentioned more times in Leviticus, than any other book in the Bible. Holy means set apart, sanctified, dedicated.
• From chapter 1-7, Sacrifice and Offerings are laid out for Priests and individuals in detail. These passages also describe how to use the altar for the sacrifices and the offerings to God.
• In chapters 8-10, Moses describes the instructions for the Levitical Priesthood, since Israel is to be “a kingdom of priests” (Ex. 19:6). He does this from the doorway of his tent. Moses consecrates his brother Aaron and his sons who are the priests. They are the chief priests of the Levites.
• From chapters 11-15 Moses teaches the importance and procedures for things that are unclean. These include food, diseases, animals, insects, dead bodies, birth, cleaning and many others. God’s purpose of all this is to protect His people from the illnesses and diseases that come from these sources. So why do the “churches” teach that it is ok to eat pork and the other unclean things? These laws were never abolished and still stand today. Only the priesthood and it's ordinances expired when Christ died and became our High Priest.
• In chapter 16, Moses gives instruction about the Day of Atonement. This was the day out of the year that the High Priest cleanses and prepares himself ceremonially to meet with God. This ceremony only takes place once a year. The High Priest enters into the Holy of Holies and offers a sacrifice to God for sins on behalf of the entire nation of Israel. It is also a day in which we must afflict our souls, meaning fast. This is still to be observed today.
• Chapters 17-27 pertain to the laws that apply generally for living a holy life. These are many laws including sexual immorality, idolatry, land laws, more priestly laws, religious festivals and celebrations, the Sabbath year and the year of Jubilee.

Who wrote the book?
The content of Leviticus relates directly to Exodus, providing evidence that the same hand penned both books. The arguments that support Moses’s writing of Exodus also uphold Moses’s authorship of Leviticus. Additionally, we find more than fifty occasions when the text says something like, “The LORD spoke to Moses” (Leviticus 1:1; 4:1; 5:14; 6:1). The New Testament also refers to Moses as the author of passages from Leviticus (Matthew 8:4; Luke 2:22; Hebrews 8:5).
The word Leviticus derives from the tribe of Levi, whose members were set aside by the Lord to be His priests and worship leaders. As a title, the word is translated from the Septuagint, meaning “ ‘pertaining to the Levites,’ and although that tribe as such is not emphasized throughout the book, the priestly subject matter renders the title appropriate.” Its content was originally meant to instruct the new nation of Israel in proper worship and right living, so that they might reflect the character of their divine King.
Where are we?
The Law found in Leviticus was spoken by God to Moses at or near Mount Sinai, where the Israelites camped for some time. Because God delivered these detailed laws after the original Ten Commandments, the most probable date for their revelation is 1446 BC. Whether every law was written down at that time is impossible to determine; it may be that they were codified progressively during the ensuing forty-year wandering.
Why is Leviticus so important?
“The book of Leviticus was the first book studied by a Jewish child; yet is often among the last books of the Bible to be studied by a Christian.” This makes perfect sense when you know the truth. The Jews are NOT Israel, they are descendants of Cain and Esau. Israelites are of Jacob and are the nations that make up the white race, America, Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand. The Jews took the Torah and adopted the laws, as well as distorted them, and went off their own way and created Judaism, which is NOT Christianity. Christianity today is the result of 2000 years of following the false teaching of the Jews. Today’s readers are often put off by the book’s lists of laws regarding diet, sacrifice, and social behavior. But within these highly detailed directives we discover the holiness—the separateness, distinction, and utter “otherness”—of God. And we learn how sin devastates humanity’s relationship with their Creator. So stop eating pork you pig!
God established the sacrificial system so that His covenant people might enjoy His fellowship through worship; it also allowed for repentance and renewal:
When an Israelite worshiper laid his hand on the animal victim, he identified himself with the animal as his substitute . . . this accomplished a symbolic transfer of his sin and a legal transfer of his guilt to the animal victim. God then accepted the slaughter of the animal . . . as a ransom payment for the particular sin which occasioned it.
Many years after Moses wrote Leviticus, Jesus came to offer Himself as the ultimate sacrifice, holy and perfect, once for all, fulfilling the Law and rendering future animal sacrifices unnecessary and void (Hebrews 10:10).
What's the big idea?
The overall message of Leviticus is sanctification. The book communicates that receiving God’s forgiveness and acceptance should be followed by holy living and spiritual growth. Now that Israel had been redeemed by God, they were to be purified into a people worthy of their God. “You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy,” says Leviticus 19:2. In Leviticus we learn that God loves to be approached, but we must do so on His terms.
How do I apply this?
This theme of holiness extends to the church. In the New Testament,
1 Peter 1:15–16 references Leviticus 19:2 when it says: “like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, ‘You shall be holy, for I am holy.’” Those who are redeemed by the mercies of God offer different sacrifices today; they offer themselves (Romans 12:1). This is a lie. Nowhere does the scriptures state that the covenants and promises that were made to Jacob/Israel extend to some “church”. This is a “church” doctrine. The Israelites of the OT are the same in the NT. The Bible is about the race of Adam. This is the white race, as the definition of awdawm is ruddy, rosey, able to blush, show blood in the face, fair. This describes the anglo-saxon race. This is our history and heritage. Yahweh chose Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and his children, nobody else.
Like He did with the Israelites, God has redeemed and consecrated Christians. Jesus offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice on our behalf, taking the punishment that we deserved so that we might be forgiven. Those who place their trust in Jesus’s atoning act become God’s children, saved by grace (Ephesians 2:8–9).Another lie. Yahweh breathed His Spirit into Adam. The Bible is about a genetic, literal flesh and bone DNA seed. One cannot become a certain race by believing. Yahweh chose our race and our ancestors, He separated them from all the other people, as the scriptures state all throughout the book. Why would it list genealogies and clearly distinguish the seed of the woman (Adam, Jacob/Israel) from the seed of the serpent (Cain/Esau)? This book is our heritage, history, laws and lessons, to guide us through this test so we may pass and receive our inheritance.
If you are His child, then He wants you to reflect His character. He is sanctifying you much like He did the nation of Israel. If you are His child, it is because you are a descendant of Israel, not because you choose to be or believe you are. Does your life echo His? In what ways are you growing more like Christ?
