12. Consecration of priest and tabernacle – cont. (Lev 8:18-36)

Moses presided over all procedures.

πŸ‘‰ Read Leviticus 8:18-36

(18-24) The second sacrifice is the (           ) offering ram. And the third is the (               ) offering ram. The blood will be applied to the priest’ right (           ), (             ), and (            ).

(25-29) Moses offered a wave offering: the fat portion and (                ) of the ordination ram, some unleavened bread, and (              ) and his sons. Then, the sacrifice and bread on their hands will be (               ) on the altar. Moses waved (             ), and it was his portion.

(30-32) Moses sprinkled the (         ) and the (          ) from the altar on Aaron and his sons and their garments to consecrate them. They are to eat the (             ) and the (              ) from the offering basket.

Why must Aaron and his sons stay in the Tabernacle for seven days? (33-35)

 

Answers and Meditation

Burnt, ordinance, earlobe, thumb, big toe.

They applied three times the oil or blood on the new priest. First, he will be anointed with the oil on his head (12). The blood of the ordination ram will be applied to his right earlobe, thumb, and big toe. And lastly, the sprinkling of the oil and the altar blood on them and their garments.

 

Right thigh, Aaron, burned up, the breast

Moses waved Aaron and his sons together with the offerings in their hands. Moses offered Aaron and his sons to the Lord and received them back as priests. This shows that the priesthood was given by God, and It was God who installed them as priests. And the offering in their hands would be burned on the altar.

Wave offering is to wave back and forth, not left and right. The direction of waving shows giving and receiving. Wave offering is to give to the Lord and to receive it back as a gift from the Lord.

 

Oil, blood, boiled meat, bread

 

They are ordained and consecrated for seven whole days.

 

The Bible repeats, “just as the Lord has commanded.”

25: ‘Tell us plainly’ vs ‘The Father and I are one.’ (John 10:22 – 42)

As Jesus announced the Father and Jesus were one, the Jewish leaders tried to stone him. πŸ‘‰ Read John 10:22 - 42 Q1. Why did the Jewish leaders not believe in Jesus? Answers πŸ‘‰ They refused to believe in Jesus, for they were not Jesus’ sheep. ‘you refused to believe.’ This tells their willing refusal.  Note that Jesus Himself doesn’t call Himself the Messiah. Instead, He called Himself the One sent from God. He focused on doing the Father’s works and proclaiming His words. From Jesus’ works, they could have concluded that He was the Messiah sent from God. But they refused to admit it. Instead, they asked Jesus to admit His identity as the Messiah plainly, which Jesus wouldn’t do. Q2. They asked Jesus if He were the (           ).

26: Other Laws concerning human life (#6 no murder) (Deut 21:1 – 22:8)

The command ‘do not murder’ should be extended to its full measure and completeness. They needed to remove the guilt of unresolved murder, keep the dignity of the female slave, respect the patrilineal inheritance, and preserve various lives. πŸ‘‰ Read Deuteronomy 21:1 - 22:8 When a homicide victim is found, and no one knows the murderer, the elders of the nearest town must do a ritual of atonement through the death of a heifer. What is the purpose of doing so? (7-9) If you had made your female slave your wife, you can divorce her but not (             ) her. For a man with two wives, if his less-loved wife’s son is the firstborn, let him inherit the (            ) portion. He should not show favoritism according to his affection for one of his wives. When a son doesn’t listen to his parent, he is like a glutton and (             ). Why should they not leave the corpse on the tree of execution overnight? When you see someone’s lost possession, do not (           ) it. You must not re

35: I am the True Vine. You are the Branches (John 15:1 – 17)

Image
The vine tree analogy so vividly illustrates our relationship with Jesus. As the branches of a vine share the life of the vine, we share and live from Jesus’ life. πŸ‘‰ Read John 15:1 - 17 Q1. Why do we need to remain in Jesus? (2, 4) Answers πŸ‘‰ To bear fruit. God takes away any branch that doesn’t bear fruit. We might debate the security of salvation: do we lose our salvation if we bear no fruit? However, it is better to focus on how to bear fruit rather than how to get salvation.  “You are clean already.” It would refer to a born-again status, a rightful relationship with the Father, one who bathed (13:10). John uses the imagery of cleanness for salvation. In the OT bible, one should be ritually clean to stand before God.  When we believe Jesus’ gospel, we are reconciled with the Father. Though sinners, we can approach God by Jesus’ blood. The pruning (lit. cleaning) (2) of our life is to make us bear more fruit. “Remain”: You should stay, not stop by. No plant produces fruit
