FEBRUARY 19, 2022 Leviticus 3:2 And he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of meeting; and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall sprinkle the blood all around on the altar. Unlike the burnt offering (olah), only a small piece of the peace offering (shalamim) was burnt upon […]
FEBRUARY 18, 2022 Leviticus 3:1 When his offering is a sacrifice of a peace offering, if he offers it of the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the Lord. This is one of those offerings that we don’t hear too much about and, as has been noted when discussing offerings in general, the peace offering was voluntary. […]
FEBRUARY 17, 2022 Leviticus 2:13 And every offering of your grain offering you shall season with salt; you shall not allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your grain offering. With all your offerings you shall offer salt. As was discussed in the previous devotion, salt has always been very important to […]
FEBRUARY 16, 2022 Leviticus 2:13 And every offering of your grain offering you shall season with salt; you shall not allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your grain offering. With all your offerings you shall offer salt. Some things never change, and by that I mean that, there are things mankind […]
FEBRUARY 15, 2022 Leviticus 2:4 And if you bring as an offering a grain offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. Every believer should be aware of what unleavened bread (matzah in Hebrew) signifies, or perhaps better yet, what leaven represents. Leaven, or as […]
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 […]
