The Holy and the Profane

November 10, 2022 • Arthur Bailey • Leviticus 22

YeHoVaH’s dealings with His Creation had much to do with their response to Him and His Commandments. The Holiness of Our Father, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, and King of the Universe was established from the creation of man and reaffirmed amongst the Children of Israel. To guarantee, honor, and keep the presence of the Most High in their midst, the people of Israel and the Priests were to be holy and not profane or defile themselves.

 

In this portion of Leviticus, YeHoVaH further instructs the people and the Priests how to maintain differences between the holy and profane.

 

In preparation for the study The Holy and the Profane, please read Leviticus 22:1-33.

Vows, Values and Redemption

January 19, 2023 • Arthur Bailey • Leviticus 27

Vows were not commanded by the Law of YeHoVaH, but were made by individuals who wanted to do something over and beyond what was required by YeHoVaH in exchange for something. Typically, vows were made to dedicate or devote someone or something of value to the service of YeHoVaH.   In this final chapter of Leviticus, YeHoVaH gives Instructions for the vow being made, the value of the person or the thing that is vowed, and the process for redeeming that which had been vowed.   In preparation for the study of Vows, Values and Redemption, please read Leviticus 27:1-34.
