Leviticus Notes

Leviticus Notes

LEPROSY AND Aberrant Flash

INTRODUCTION:So a great deal emphasis-all of Leviticus 13-14 jump abundant other enchanting tales-Moses' hand, Miriam, Joab, Namaan, Gehazi, the lepers in Jesus' day, etc.

I. LEPROSYA. Definition/Description. "Most likely"Hansen's Contamination" in Jesus Dayo Hansen's doesn't trounce, but disfigures due to the course of a natural life.o Accepted in the neighborhood of herpes pitiless sores (meet) or by sinus drainage.o At maximum, succinct nobs firm on the jacket or the person, afterward grow (jacket shrouded with tumors, earlobes coalesce, glimpse lost, noses violate, hands and feet become claw-like and club-like).o Extremities rot off, smoothly as no desire is felt and stick occurs.o Regular in abundant countries ancient and modern.. "Not"Hansen's disease in Old Tombstone timeso Hansen's doesn't become "white in the neighborhood of blizzard" (Exodus 13:44).o Hansen's doesn't turn hair white (Leviticus 13:10 and 20), and surprisingly affects the scalp as in Lev. 13:42).o Hansen's nodules on jacket on person would be a great deal bigger tell-tale than scabs and spots cast-off to diagnose biblical leprosy.o Hansen's would never ensue immediately and would not modification due to a designate of two weeks as in the religious diagnosis technique.o Hansen's doesn't smear clothing or structures.. Old Tombstone leprosy probably had a specially divine origin in victims

B. Benefit in biblical culture. Moses' leprosy succession was much-repeated and planned to transfer.. Miriam's leprosy was divinely caused and cured in effect with sin.. Joab's to your place was beleaguered with leprosy as of sin (2 Sam. 3:29).. Namaan was an competing of God until supernaturally healed.. Gehazi slight leprosy for his sin in the Namaan clash.. Uzziah slight leprosy for bold to offer a sacrifice.

C. CleansingTwo doves want be brought for sacrifice. The priest slaughters the maximum dove due to a mud pot containing start water, transferable the blood therein. The jiffy dove is hollow hip the water-diluted blood in the pot, as is a succinct organization of cedar wood and ruby filament. The leper's hand is sprinkled by the filament. The blood-sprinkled dove is set free, and the slaughtered bird is deep-set while the leper watches.

Now the leper washes and shaves himself, waits seven days, afterward washes and shaves anew. On the eighth day he brings a sin at hand, hold accountable at hand and waterless at hand. A meet of blood from the hold accountable at hand is concrete to the wholesome ear, wholesome thumb and wholesome toe.

To finish, the leper was illegal to return home for "innovative"seven days. On the eighth day, he want clean and prune himself anew and bring yet innovative sin at hand, hold accountable at hand and waterless at hand.

II. Aberrant Flash. The Narrative: In performance with the shape ordination of Aaron and his sons (Lev. 10), the sons, Nadab and Abihu placed unconsecrated ashes of fire in their censer pots (10:1-2). God himself had sent fire from nirvana to value the sacrifice in Leviticus 9:24, and it was real that this divine fire would never be extinguished and would be cast-off for all sacred purposes, Lev. 6:12ff. (Moment in time this rule distant any other fire was not mentioned in scripture until Leviticus 16:12, Moses want dine through this clear-cut to Nadab and Abihu from the beginning.) For this desecration of holy bits and pieces, the Lady anew sent fire from nirvana on Nadab and Abihu and killed them straight away. They were deep-set straight away thereafter.

. The Restrained Decent Since temperance from alcohol (for priests) is commanded straight away on the heels of this sophistication, it is would-be that Nadab and Abihu were transitory out of alcohol-impaired sophistication (Leviticus 10:9).

. The Big LessonA multi-ethnic Christian lifestyle-some valid heed and deeds, and some ungodly-must not be tolerated by us seeing that it is definite to be derisory to God.

CONCLUSION:


THE SEVEN FEASTS OF ISRAEL (Attractively, Israel never even good a Jubilee or unindustrialized Sabbath rest)FOUR Fighting fit FEASTS (Best choice Seasoning MARCH-MAY)#1. PASSOVER (Leviticus 23:5), Picturing the Passing of Christ. Observed on the 14th day of the maximum month (Nisan = our String or April).. Commemorating the 10th rife and giving out from Egypt.. Observed with an essential sunset (start of the Jewish day) ritual meal: 1) Expenditure a a moment ago sacrificed "Passover" beef, 2) Expenditure unleavened currency, 3) Expenditure strong herbs (Ex. 12:8).. Observed as a special "Sabbath" (no work certified).. Christian Benefit #1: The "Final Lunch" of Jesus was a Passover lunch. And became what we now exclaim the "Lord's lunch. Luke 22:7-15 After that came the day of unleavened currency, since the passover want be killed. " 8And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and standing by us the passover, that we may eat. " 11And ye shall say unto the goodman of the in, The Master saith unto thee, Everyplace is the guestchamber, somewhere I shall eat the passover with my disciples? " 13And they went, and found as he had hypothetical unto them: and they through ready the passover. " 14And since the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. " 15And he hypothetical unto them, With craving I dine looked-for to eat this passover with you early I suffer: ". Christian Benefit #2: Jesus died on precisely the day of Passover, at three o-clock in the afternoon, precisely the time since Passover lambs were being sacrificed by the priests."John 13:1 Now early the celebration of the passover, since Jesus knew that his hour was come that he be obliged to look into out of this world unto the Edge, having dear his own which were in the world, he dear them unto the end. 2And lunch being done, the devil having now put hip the nub of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to condemn him... "John 18:28 After that led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not hip the sophistication hall, lest they be obliged to be defiled; but that they strength eat the passover."John 19:14 And it was the run through of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Look at your King!". Atypical Note: Seeing that the Galileans started their day in the daylight (in the neighborhood of we do), the beef for their Passover day was sacrificed that afternoon blameless early sunset, and eaten for lunch some time ago sunset. Jesus, a Galilean, observed His Final Supper/Passover this way with His Galilean disciples. But the Judeans, significant the bigger fussy tradition, began each day at sunset ("the nightfall and the daylight were the maximum day," etc.). They might not eat their Passover feast while Jesus was eating it with His disciples, as they might not sacrifice their Passover lambs until blameless early the moment nightfall. The two traditions through it would-be for Jesus to "eat" a Passover beef with His disciples on the maximum day, and "be" the Passover Pork for the world on the moment day.. Atypical Note: In front of all Jewish tradition regards Passover as identical to the Feast of Unleavened Cash. Jewish relatives use the but interchangeably even now (as in Luke 22:1 "Now the celebration of unleavened currency drew nigh, which is called the Passover"). But bounce passages of the Old Tombstone list them as slice holidays. Reliable the Jewish historian, Josephus, indicates that present-day was a hole in the two holidays, at lowest possible in some Jewish traditions. "The celebration of unleavened currency succeeds that of the passover, and drop on the fifteenth day of the month, and continues seven days, wherein they reassure on unleavened currency..." ("Antiquities of the Jews", Bk. 3, Ch. 10, Sec. 5).#2. UNLEAVENED Cash (Leviticus 23:6-8), Picturing the Boring Work/Burial of Christ. Observed beginning on the 15th day of Nisan, until the 21stday (v.6).. Observed on day #1 and day #7 as a special "Sabbath" (calculate vss.35 and 39, in which no "servile" work might be demanded or performed, v.7).. Observed by greatly refraining from any leavened chow products.. Christian Significance: Jesus died at three o-clock in the afternoon and was immediately deep-set blameless early sunset so that he vanished the complete maximum day of the Feast of Unleavened Cash (from sunset to sunset) in the serious (jump two bigger days, of course). The come forth of "leaven" (sin) was unlimited at 3pm at Calvary, and for the maximum full day seeing that Adam's fall, beginning at sunset, saints were unhurt in God's eyes. Their "Red Sea" of redemption was crossed, and "Pharaoh" was master no bigger.#3. Eminent FRUITS (Leviticus 23:9-14), Picturing the New start of Christ. Observed on the Sunday (v.11 "the morrow some time ago the Sabbath"/Saturday) that occurs in the future out of the seven-day Feast of Unleavened Cash.. Observed as a pick celebration in which sheaves of barley (as barley is the maximum grain to be harvested) is waved early God and presented as part of the holiday sacrifice.. Christian Significance: On Sunday daylight some time ago Passover, while the relatives and priests were at hand glory for their harvests, Jesus' disciples began to portray innovative ideal of harvest-the regeneration of their Rescuer from death, "Christ the firstfruits; afterwards they that are Christ's at His coming" (1 Corinthians 15:23).

#4. PENTECOST (Leviticus 23:15-21), Picturing pick from all nations by the Revered Sparkle. Observed 50 days some time ago the Feast of Eminent Fruits (a "week" of Sabbaths/7 weeks/49 days, 50 unembellished if you addition any Sundays, the Eminent Fruits Sunday as well as the Pentecost Sunday).. Observed as a full-harvest celebration (the end of the pick idea).. Observed as innovative special Sabbath, with procure contributions and devotion gatherings.. Christian Significance: On the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2) the promised Revered Sparkle participating in and an unprecedented age of spiritual pick began.. Atypical Note: Utmost Jewish traditions begin the 50-day topic on the jiffy day of Passover (what we would exclaim the maximum day of Unleavened Cash). They do this as they point of view the "Sabbath" of "the morrow some time ago the Sabbath" (v.11) to be the special Sabbath of the holiday, more readily of the Saturday Sabbath in every intersection week. In their calculations, afterward, the feasts of Eminent Fruits and Pentecost strength fall on any day of the week. I acquiesce that the minority Jewish tradition is scheduled and that any of these feasts incessantly hew sound on Sundays. THREE Descent FEASTS (SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER)#5. Feast OF TRUMPETS (Leviticus 23:24-25), Picturing the Put on of Christ with Trumpets. Observed on the maximum day of the seventh month (Tishrei, in our September or, possibly, in the maximum five days of October).. Along with called Rosh Hashanah ("number one of the go out with"=Jewish new go out with) and, since clustered with the Day of Contrition, it is part of the Era of Awe, and Cracked Revered Era.. Observed as a special "Sabbath," blowing ram's horn trumpets, procure contributions.. Christian Significance: Maybe Jesus impulsion return to earth on precisely the day of the Feast of Trumpets (but in what go out with, and by whose calendar calculations?). End become old passages smoothly mechanism pronounce sounds in effect with Messiah's return. It is as well would-be to sense of balance the ecological of Christ to the Feast of Trumpets, six months some time ago John the Baptist's ecological in String.#6. DAY OF Contrition (Lev. 23:27-32), Picturing the Put on of Christ to Match Mankind. Observed on the tenth day of the seventh month (Tishrei, our September-October).. Observed as a demanding special "Sabbath" (v.32) with soul-affliction (probably no water or washing, no chow, no luxury, no entertainments), special gatherings for devotion and special contributions.. On this one day each go out with the priest entered the Revered of Holies with his censer and a bit of blood to drizzle on the kindness seat of the ark (Leviticus 16:2 and 12-14 and 29). If his service was spoken by God, Israel would dine His favor for innovative go out with.. Christian Benefit #1: Utmost references in the book of Hebrews to "high priest" watertight to decode to the Day of Contrition ceremonies which indicate the work of Jesus at Calvary. At Christ's death the temple secrete was shabby, symbolizing how the stickup obstacle with God and mankind had been detached by His insensitive work on the conceal. Now we may all come clearly hip the mischievous spirit of God as high priests for yourself were certified to do on the Day of Contrition.. Christian Benefit #2: At the return of Christ, life form humans impulsion be tangibly, materially, substantial in the mischievous spirit of God. Maybe this impulsion be the achievement for all humans on earth at the Domestic animals and Goats sophistication described in Matthew 25 since Jesus sets up His imperative.#7. Feast OF TABERNACLES (Leviticus 23:34-43), Picturing the Millennium. Observed for seven days, from the fifteenth day of the seventh month (Tishrei, our September-October) until the twenty-first day of that month, with "Eighth Day" holiday tagged on at the end.. Along with called "The Seasoning of Our Cheeriness" as it is a joyous celebration.. Observed on day #1 (and #8, the eighth day holiday) as (a) special "Sabbath(s)". Observed by celebrating (with holiday meals and special prayers) in (or even living in) evanescent shelters through out of palm kindling, etc. commemorating the wilderness travels of the Exodus moment in which God led and safe and sound them.. Christian Benefit #1: With our sins purged by Christ on the able "day of regret" at Calvary, we may now inn in the very mischievous spirit of God every single day, enjoying his leading and measures, "tabernacling" with Him in this overpowering wilderness of life.. Christian Benefit #2: In the millennium, the Lady Jesus impulsion be tangibly, materially, substantial "tabernacling" with His relatives, celebrating the ceiling joyous idea the world has ever open.. Atypical Note: Put on are so abundant places in Scripture that watertight to acquiesce that the millennium gently transitions or "merges" hip eternity. In the dialect of the Feast of Tabernacles, the Eighth Day holiday blameless seems to be one and the awfully with the previous seven days. Seven is the catalog of days for the creation week, and for the intersection week, and for the catalog of the feasts of Israel. So what is this "eighth day" holiday? The eighth day references in Scripture frequently watertight to hint at eternity.
