Leviticus Chapter 6

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Leviticus chapter six. Then the Eternal One told Moses the
following our instructions regarding liars and cheaters. Anytime someone commits
a sin and violates his covenant duties to me by
deceiving his neighbor in financial or security matters, by stealing
or by extortion, or if a person finds something that

(00:20):
is lost and lies about it and makes a false claim,
or in anything that someone else does, and if he
has sinned and comes to realize it, he will give
back what he has stolen or extorted, or the deposit
entrusted to him, or the lost object he found, or
any other object he lied about. He will repay it
entirely plus one fifth of its value. He must give

(00:42):
it to its rightful owner. The very day he gives
his guilt offering, he is to bring to the priest
an unblemished ram or its equivalent value as his guilt
offering to me. The priest will make atonement and cover
the guilty person's wrong before me, and the guilty will
be forgiven for anything that he did wrong. Then, when
one spoke again to Moses, give Aaron and his sons

(01:03):
these instructions regarding the ritual of the burnt offering. The
burnt offering must stay on the wood fire all night
until morning arrives. The fire on the altar is to
be tended and kept burning during the night. The priest
must dress in his ritual linen clothes and undergarments, and
he must take the ashes from the burnt offering on
top of the altar and place them next to the altar.

(01:23):
Then the priest must remove his ritual clothes and dress
in other clothes to transport the ashes to a ritually
clean space outside the camp. The fire on the altar
must burn continually. It must not be allowed to go out.
The priests are to feed wood to the fire every morning,
arrange the burnt offering on the fire, and offer up
the fat portions of the peace offerings. The fire on

(01:45):
the altar must burn continually. It must not be allowed
to go out. Here are the instructions for the ritual
of the grain offering. Aaron's sons must offer it to
me in front of the altar. A priest is to
take a handful of the finest flower from the grain
offering to getther with the oil and frankincense. They are
part of the grain offering and offer it as a
memorial portion on the altar. The smoke of the sacrifice

(02:07):
will rise and be a pleasant aroma to me. Aarin
and his sons get to eat whatever is left over.
They must eat it without yeast, in the holy place
or in the courtyard around the sanctuary. It must not
be baked with yeast. I am assigning this as their
portion of the fire offerings. Their portion is most sacred,
in the same way that the purification offering and guilt

(02:28):
offering are sacred. All of Erin's male descendants are allowed
to eat of it. It will be their portion of
the fire offerings presented to me. This directive stands throughout
all generations. Anything that touches them will become holy, the
eternal One continued to Moses. Here are instructions for the
ritual sacrifice which Aaron and his sons are to offer me.

(02:49):
On the day Aarin is anointed high priest, bring four
pints of the finest flower as a grain offering. Offer
half of it in the morning and the other half
in the evening. Prepare it with oil and bake it
on a griddle. After it has been mixed with the
oil and thoroughly cooked. Offer it as a pleasant aroma
to me. This directive stands for all time. The priest

(03:09):
from Aaron's line who is selected to be a successor,
must bring the same offering when he is anointed, and
all of it must be burned. The grain offering from
the priest is not to be eaten. All of it
must be consumed on the altar. The Eternal One continued
to Moses, go talk with Aaron and his sons and
give them these commands for the ritual of the purification offering.

(03:29):
For sin, the purification offering is to be slaughtered in
my presence, in the same place where the burnt offering
is slaughtered. It must be sacred. The priest who presents
the purification offering is to eat his portion of it
in a sacred place inside the courtyard around the sanctuary.
Anything that comes in contact with the flesh of the
sacrifice will be made holy. When the blood of the

(03:51):
sacrifice gets on any clothing, you must wash the blood
stain out in a sacred place. If a clay pot
is used to boil the sacrifice, it must be shadow
and discarded. If it was boiled in a bronze bowl, however,
then it must be scrubbed and rinsed with water. Every
man who is a priest may eat of it. It
is most sacred. But none of the offerings from which

(04:13):
blood is brought inside the congregation tent as a covering
for sin, may be eaten. All of it must be
consumed on the altar.
