01/07/2024 – Day 198 – Leviticus – Chapters 16 – 18

On a search of “Day 198” , I point you to prior cycles, two posts: 1). 09/13/22 – Halley’s Bible Handbook for each of these chapters. And, take note of the Canaanite abominations. – Chapter 18 . We wonder why God commanded the nation of Israel amidst war battles on occasion, the following for infested abominable evil in captured cities: “Do not leave a living thing in that city.”; 2). 11/3023 – Funny , this one is not actually our “Semikkah7 read through the Bible”. It is the from the Book of Mysteries – “The Infinity Solution.” So, if you are witnessing to a Muslim, a future Christian brother, us this a a witness tool. Give them this God Infinity Math tool to give clarity to the Trinity , unfathomable love.

I am sharing with you three verse(s) comments :

16:15 Jesus in the Old Testament. ‘The Jews have escaped Egypt and are now at the foot of Mount Sinai. God provided a long list of rules for His people to follow, including instructions for the priests to make an annual sacrifice for the covering of people’s sins. This was the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). On this day, a priest would lay his hands on the head of an unblemished lamb, signifying the transfer of sins from the people to the Lamb. The priest would then slit the throat of the lamb and it would bleed to death for the covering of their sins.

‘Why was this necessary? Leviticus 17: 11 tells us that ‘it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’ Imagine the amount of blood that was shed over the centuries. This was a constant reminder to the Jewish people that blood was required for the covering of sins. Unfortunately, for them, a lamb could not forgive sins. This was merely a picture of a greater sacrifice that was needed.

‘Who was the Lamb who could provide complete forgiveness of sins? Only Jesus Christ about whom John the Baptist proclaimed, ‘Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!’ (John 1:29.’ Todd Friel (Adapted from Don’t Stub Your Toe.)

“16:30-34. Jewish atonement today. Modern Jews have abandoned blood sacrifice, and instead observed one day each year of self-examination and affliction of the soul, to atone for the sins of the past year: “Yom Kippur atones only for sins between man. and G-d, not for sins against another person. To atone for sins against another person, you must first seek reconciliation with that person, righting the wrongs you committed against them if possible. That must all be done before Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur is a complete Sabbath; no work can be performed on that day. It is well-known that you are supposed to refrain from eating and drinking (even water) on Yom Kippur. It is a complete, 25- hour fast beginning before sunset on the evening before Yom Kippur and ending after nightfall on the day of Yom Kippur. The Talmud also specifies additional restrictions that are less well-known: washing and bathing, anointing one’s body (with cosmetics, deodorants, etc), wearing leather shoes (Orthodox Jews routinely wear canvas shoe sneakers under their dress clothes on Yom Kippur), and engaging in sexual relations are all prohibited on Yom Kippur.” “Yom Kippur,” Jewish Virtual Library
