Daily Reading

Leviticus 1

• Rules for the Burnt Offering. I find it interesting that the goat's death removes the sin from the people. In another it says that blood must atone for sin, so that makes sense for the goat's death, but what is really interesting is that God finds the smell pleasing. 

Leviticus 2

• Rules for the Grain Offering. It says that the Grain Offering is the most holy part of the offerings. I can't help but think of the similarities between communion today and the Grain Offering. And if you consider Leviticus 1 and that the juice represents the blood of Christ, then there is a TON of similarities between communion and these two chapters.

Leviticus 3

• Rules for the Fellowship Offering. It doesn't say why someone would need to make a Fellowship Offering...

Leviticus 4

• Rules for the Sin Offering. God knew that there would be a King someday, as he has rules of what a ruler must do when he sins.If someone sins by accident, then they are guilty.

Leviticus 5

• Rules for Special Types of Accidental Sins. "When anyone is guilty of any of these things, he must tell how he sinned." Confession was something that happened in the Old Testament. We are responsible for our sin. 

Leviticus 6

• Rules for lying, stealing, and other sins. Very interesting stuff. The general response is to return and make amends by paying an additional 1/5 of the value. Then there is the rules for the Whole Burnt Offering, the Grain Offering, and Sin Offering.
