FEBRUARY 14, 2022 Leviticus 2:2 He shall bring it to Aaron’s sons, the priests, one of whom shall take from it his handful of fine flour and oil with all the frankincense. And the priest shall burn it as a memorial on the altar, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord. As I shared […]
FEBRUARY 13, 2022 Leviticus 2:1 When anyone offers a grain offering to the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour. And he shall pour oil on it and put frankincense on it. If the offering of a turtle dove or pigeon was considered the poor man’s offering, the meal offering (in Hebrew minchah) as the offering made by the […]
FEBRUARY 12, 2022 Leviticus 1:14-15 And if the burnt sacrifice of his offering to the Lord is of birds, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves or young pigeons. The priest shall bring it to the altar. Other than allowing for birds to use as an offering, it is interesting that all the other sacrifices that were allowed had […]
FEBRUARY 11, 2022 Leviticus 1:14-15 And if the burnt sacrifice of his offering to the Lord is of birds, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves or young pigeons. The priest shall bring it to the altar. As I have said before, it is easy for us to focus on the slaughter of the animals and be mystified as […]
FEBRUARY 10, 2022 Leviticus 1:11-12 He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the Lord; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar. And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the […]
FEBRUARY 9, 2022 Leviticus 1:11-12 He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the Lord; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar. And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the […]
FEBRUARY 8, 2022 Leviticus 1:9 And the priest shall burn all on the altar as a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord. If we consider that we are called upon to be a “living sacrifice” then it makes sense that we — that is, our flesh, our will and everything […]
FEBRUARY 7, 2022 Leviticus 1:9 And the priest shall burn all on the altar as a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord. I have often meditated upon the notion that a sacrifice burning upon the altar was considered, by God, to be a “sweet aroma.” I find it intriguing because […]
FEBRUARY 6, 2022 Leviticus 1:3 If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord. As I mentioned in the previous devotion, these sacrifices and offerings act as tutors to teach us […]
FEBRUARY 5, 2022 Exodus 40:36-37 Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle, the children of Israel would go onward in all their journeys. But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not journey till the day that it was taken up. By virtue of the fact that the Presence resided with the […]
FEBRUARY 4, 2022 Leviticus 1:1-2 Now the Lord called to Moses, and spoke to him from the tabernacle of meeting, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When any one of you brings an offering to the Lord, you shall bring your offering of the livestock—of the herd and of the flock.’” As we discuss the […]
