Leviticus 10-12
Sorry for the delay on Day's 33 & 34, I was on a mission trip to Atlanta.
Today we get:
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 the LORD, which he commanded them not.
God had very specific rules about the incense.
2 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.
So God killed them.
Moses explained to Aaron that it was God that killed them, and that he shouldn't mourn his two boys. So Aaron didn't.
Moses calls two of his cousins to take the fried boys out of camp to be disposed of.
6 And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled.
Basically, if you mourn for the two dead, God will kill you too!
God then tells Aaron not to go into the tabernacle after drinking wine or hard liquor.
Additionally, the wave offering can be eaten by the family of the priests.
One day, Aaron's two remaining boys didn't finish eating the sin offering.
17 Wherefore have ye 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 for them before the LORD?
18 Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place: ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded.
Aaron said he couldn't eat it because he wasn't exactly right with God.
Moses accepted this answer.
Leviticus 11
God said to Moses and Aaron.
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
Clean/Edible
Unclean/Bad
If you touch the carcase of one of these, you will be unclean until the even. Which starts the next day. If you touch them, you need to wash your clothes.
If the carcase of unclean things touches something, that thing is unclean too. If it is touched, you need to break it.
45 For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
He has a tendency to remind the Children of Israel that it was HIM who brought them out of Egypt. Even though it was just a couple of months/years earlier.
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:
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.
Many people now are touting "the Maker's Diet". Which is simply following the laws set forth in Leviticus 11. If you want to do the "Maker's Diet" don't spend money on a diet manual, just open your Bible (KJV1611) to Leviticus 11.
Leviticus 12
God said to Moses
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
A woman who gives birth to a boy is unclean for 7 days.
On the eighth day, the boy is to be circumcised.
She is still impure (but not necessarily unclean) for another 33 days. During which time she can't touch anything holy or go into the sanctuary.
5 But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.
If a woman gives birth to a daughter, she is unclean for 14 days. And then is in the purifying stage for 66 days.
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, unto the priest:
That's a burnt offering AND a sin offering. Remember, children being born is a sin. That is why there is the sin offering.
If she can't bring a lamb, then two turtledoves is acceptable; one for the burnt, one for the sin. (This law is used in Luke 2; when Mary and Joseph take 2 turtledoves because Jesus was born).
Thus ends today's readings, so what did we learn.
1. The difference between unclean and clean, beasts, birds, fish and bugs.
2. God will kill you if you burn the wrong kind of incense.
3. A baby girl makes the mother more unclean and impure than a baby boy.
