Leviticus 16-17

October 13, 2021 Nate Holdridge

Today here in chapter 16, we're looking at the Day of Atonement, commonly in modern times thought of as Yom Kippor. This was the most important day of the Jewish religious calendar, and Leviticus 16 is the introduction of this day. There's no coincidence, likely, that it's found here at the center of the priestly manual, the center of the book of Leviticus. And not only in the center of Leviticus, but really if you space it out, it's at the center of the Torah itself, Genesis through Deuteronomy. This is an important day, and the ceremonies described here were for the priests to engage in on this special day.

Leviticus 4-7

Now so far, we've looked at the prescription for the burnt offerings, the grain offerings and the peace or fellowship offerings. And now we continue in these introductory chapters to the book of Leviticus with the sin offering.

Exodus 35-37

Chapter 35, and all the way to the end of the book in Chapter 40, is fairly repetitive in that the exact descriptions that God gave to Moses of the tabernacle on the mountain are now said by Moses, exactly as he received them, to the people so that they might get busy about the mission of building this tabernacle. But the repetition need not scare us as believers today. The repetition is helpful because it helps us understand that we must heed the word of God precisely, not loosely, but we must precisely heed the word of God.

Exodus 29

Here in the second half of the book of Exodus, we're listening in on God giving directions to Moses on the construction of the tabernacle, which they have yet to build. God is going to describe the consecration of all the priests in general, but of the high priest in particular.

Exodus 24-25

God just longs to be at the center of our lives. This is one of the major lessons that we will continue to learn through the back half of the book of Exodus, seeing the directions concerning the tabernacle. He longs to fellowship with his people. He wants to be at the center of our lives. He wants to be in a relationship with us.

The ancient Israelite approached God with blood sacrifice, for without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins (Hebrews 9:22). One offering, however, was different. The grain offering came not from Israel's flocks, but from their crops.
