YeHoVaH called His people to be a Holy people as He is a Holy God. The Laws they were given were for His Holy, set apart people to live Holy unto YeHoVaH! The grace of YeHoVaH took into account that man was a fallen creature with immoral tendencies, so His Laws contained Ordinances, Statutes, and Judgments for certain behaviors. However, for some behaviors, the death penalty was required.
In this portion of Leviticus, we will examine certain sins that resulted in the death of the offender.
In preparation for the study of The Death Penalty, please read Leviticus 20:1-27.

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.
