MAY 21, 2022 Leviticus 23:27 Also the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the Day of Atonement.

MAY 20, 2022 Leviticus 23:24 Speak to the children of Israel, saying: “In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.” As we discussed in the previous devotion, on the first day of the seventh month, the shofar was sounded in acknowledgment of […]
MAY 19, 2022 Leviticus 23:24 Speak to the children of Israel, saying: “In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.” Where the Hebrew calendar is concerned, the seventh month (called Tishri) is to the year what Sabbath is to the week.

MAY 18, 2022 Leviticus 23:22 When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field when you reap, nor shall you gather any gleaning from your harvest.

MAY 15, 2022 Leviticus 23:10 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them: “When you come into the land which I give to you, and reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest.” As we read about these different feast days, one thing becomes clear […]
MAY 14, 2022 Leviticus 23:4 These are the feasts of the Lord, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times. It is obvious that the Creator desires that we observe these special times He established to meet with His people but why does He want us to “proclaim” these feasts? Is it that we proclaim them […]
MAY 13, 2022 Leviticus 23:3 Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings. In Ecclesiastes 3, Solomon declared that everything has a season and that there is a reason for every season. Inferred in […]
