First of all, I had warned all that Sunday might be a challenge. As I suspected, it ended up being quite a challenge this weekend. I hope everyone had a wonderful day. However, in order to make sure that we accomplish finishing the bible in the one year time period, I will submit an entry, albeit late, for Sunday.
From Leviticus 6-8:
1. It is interesting to see that the priests also had to keep the fire burning on the altar hearth all night. No sleep for them either.
2. I like how reparations are done for someone who is wronged. The person who has wronged someone must perform restitution to the wronged party, plus add one fifth. Then they also need to offer the guilt offering.
3. I did not realize it, but the priests got to keep the skins of the sin and guilt offerings. That would be useful for making clothing and such.
4. I noticed that the right thigh of the fellowship offering belongs to the priest. I know this is not related, and the bible does not say, but I wonder which hip of Jacob was touched by the angel so that he limped.
5. Viewer Discretion Advised! - In Leviticus 8, it says that Moses washed the priests during their ordination and then clothed Aaron with the robe and the ephod. This was in front of all the people. It sounds pretty embarrassing, if it is at all like it sounds!
