WASH HIS CLOTHES AND BATHE / LEVITICUS 15:5

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Leviticus 15:5

And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

WASH HIS CLOTHES AND BATHE / LEVITICUS 15:5

Leviticus 10 – 15 show God’s concern for His people’s physical health and well-being. The ancient people around them knew little or nothing about hygiene, sanitation, the importance of washing or the prevention of infectious diseases. They did not provide adequate care for the poor or the sick either. God’s laws ensured that His people gave proper attention to these things and encouraged them to demonstrate His purity and perfection in every aspect of their lives.

PRONOUNCE HIM CEREMONIALLY UNCLEAN / LEVITICUS 13:3

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Leviticus 13:3

 And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and when the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.

PRONOUNCE HIM CEREMONIALLY UNCLEAN / LEVITICUS 13:3

All the things described as “unclean” in Leviticus had to do with reflecting God’s purity and purposes. Most related to physical or environmental issues such as injury, disease (Leviticus 13-14; Numbers 5:2; 12:10-14), death (Numbers 5:2; 31:19; 35:33) and contamination (Leviticus 14:33-57). These laws reflected God’s character and His concern for His people.

  1. All of these things that were described as “unclean” reflected how creation had strayed from the perfection God originally intended. The laws of uncleanness constantly reminded the people of the devastating results of their sin.
  2. But these laws also showed God’s care for the people. For example, because the Israelites lives so closely with one another and wandered from place to place, infectious (contagious) skin diseases or environmental hazards could cause widespread death and destruction to many other groups of people. That is why these “unclean” things had to be contained and controlled. God’s laws about cleanliness in body and home were safety measures that show His care and compassion for humankind.

GIVES BIRTH TO A SON / LEVITICUS 12:2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Leviticus 12:1-2

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.

GIVES BIRTH TO A SON / LEVITICUS 12:2

Parenthood is a blessing from God and can be one of life’s greatest joys (Genesis 1:28; Genesis 9:1; Psalms 127:3; 128:3). The physical waste that was part of childbirth, however, had to be treated as unclean (Leviticus 15:16-19; 13:3; Exodus 19:15). The physical distress and pain of childbirth were a direct result of humankind’s original rebellion against God and “fall” into sin (Genesis 3:15).

  1. Children are now born with a sinful nature; that is, they are born with a natural focus on selfish desires and the tendency to rebel against God (1 John 1:8). The psalmist wrote: “Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me” (Psalms 51:5).
  2. Everyone born into the world also faces the reality of physical death (Genesis 2:16-17; 5:3) and the possibility of eternal death. The only way to escape eternal death is to accept the forgiveness and new life Christ provided by dying for our sins. Death was never God’s intention or part of His perfect plan for humans. The uncleanness associated with childbirth reveals the truth that the newborn child needs a Savior.
  3. Christian parents, knowing the sinful natures their children are born with, should sincerely and persistently pray that their children will accept Christ as Lord (the Leader and authority in their lives), be “born again” (not in the physical sense, but in the spiritual sense) (John 3:3-8) and receive new life by God’s Holy Spirit.

BE HOLY / LEVITICUS 11:44

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Leviticus 11:44

For I am the Lord your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

BE HOLY / LEVITICUS 11:44

The instructions concerning clean and unclean (proper in improper) food (Leviticus 11) were given for health reasons, as well as standards to help Israel avoid the ungodly lifestyles of other societies (Deuteronomy 14:1-2). These dietary instructions are no longer binding on New Testament believers because Christ fulfilled the purposes behind these laws (Matthew 5:17; Matthew 15:1-20; Acts 10:15-15; Colossians 2:16, 1 Timothy 4:3). However, the spiritual principles represented in those instructions still apply today.

  1. Christians today must distinguish themselves from their surrounding society by eating, drinking and dressing in ways that honor God with their bodies (1 Corinthians 6:20; 10:31). At the same time, they must avoid social customs and behaviors that do not reflect godly character and moral purity. They must be “holy in all [they] do” (1 Peter 1:15).
  2. The detailed emphasis on cleanliness points out the principle that God’s people must be morally different from those who do not follow God or honor Him in the way they think, speak and act (Exodus 19:6; 2 Corinthians 7:1). Christians must honor God in every area of life (1 Corinthians 10:31).

NOT TO DRINK WINE / LEVITICUS 10:9

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Leviticus 10:9

 Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:

NOT TO DRINK WINE / LEVITICUS 10:9

All priests were to abstain from, or avoid, intoxicating drinks of any kind when performing their religious duties. 

  1. They were expected to demonstrate holiness (moral and spiritual purity, wholeness, separation from evil and dedication to what God says is right) as they served and taught God’s ways (Leviticus 10:10-11; Ephesians 5:18).
  2. Disobeying God’s instructions relating to this matter was serious enough to bring the penalty of death. God considered any amount of intoxicating drink an unworthy companion for anyone who served under His highest ministry standards. Its damaging effect on wise judgment and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit’s direction excluded it from the lives of God’s priests (Proverbs 23:29-35; 1 Timothy 3:3; Titus 2:2).

FIRE … CONSUMED THEM / LEVITICUS 10:2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Leviticus 10:2

And there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.

FIRE … CONSUMED THEM / LEVITICUS 10:2

Nadab and Abihu were killed because, as priests, they defied God and His law and showed complete disrespect for the holy place (Leviticus 10:3).

  1. By using fire from a clearly forbidden source (Leviticus 10:1; Exodus 30:9-10), these disobedient priests refused to take God’s commandments seriously. Instead of teaching God’s Law as His holy ministers, they served their own desires and proved that they had no fear of or reverence for God.
  2. These two men were to be spiritual leaders. However, sin that is done intentionally and openly by God’s ministers does a lot of damage to God’s purposes on earth. Their examples dishonor the church, while misleading it people; but most importantly, they dishonor God. This is why the Bible teaches that only those who have lived out a steadfast and consistent faithfulness and loyalty to God and His Word are qualified to lead God’s people (1 Timothy 3:1-7).

UNAUTHORIZED FIRE / LEVITICUS 10:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Leviticus 10:1

And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not.

UNAUTHORIZED FIRE / LEVITICUS 10:1

Nadab and Abihu put into their censers (fire pans) burning coals from a source that was not permitted by God (Exodus 30:7-9). In addition, only the high priest was supposed to offer incense on the altar (Exodus 30:7-9). Some interpreters believe that Nadab and Abihu might have been under the influence of alcohol (Leviticus 10:9-10).

SLAUGHTERED THE CALF / LEVITICUS 9:8

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Leviticus 9:8

Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.

SLAUGHTERED THE CALF / LEVITICUS 9:8

God established a system of animal sacrifices as a method by which sinful people could come to Him in repentance (admitting and turning from their sin). They could come to receive His forgiveness and renew their relationship with Him. 

  1. The animal sacrifice was an object lesson, which showed the principle of vicarious sacrifice. This was a sacrifice performed by one person on behalf of another, or one life given in place of another. It also showed a substitutionary atonement. This was an innocent sacrifice providing “covering” and forgiveness for a guilty individual’s sins. In this latter case, the life of the innocent animal was offered in the place of the sinful and guilty worshiper (Leviticus 1:4).
  2. The sacrifice expressed a person’s repentance (genuine remorse and determination to give up – or turn from – the wrong attitudes or behaviors and to turn toward God). By offering the sacrifice, a person was admitting guilt and recognizing the need to be cleansed and restored to a right relationship with God (Leviticus 16:30-34; Leviticus 1:2). 
  3. When a sacrifice was made in faith, obedience and humility, God was pleased and extended to the worshiper the grace (undeserved favor) and forgiveness desired (Leviticus 4:3; Leviticus 4:20; Leviticus 5:15-16).
  4. The sacrifice provided atonement (“covering over”) – or forgiveness – for sin. 
  5. From the New Testament perspective, animal sacrifices were imperfect because they could not actually remove sin or change a person’s life. Under the new covenant, Jesus’ sacrifice alone can remove sin and change a person’s heart (Hebrews 10:1-4). This Old Testament ritual was simply a prophetic picture of how Jesus would offer “for all time one sacrifice for sins” (Hebrews 10:12).

AARON AND HIS SONS / LEVITICUS 8:1-3

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Leviticus 8:1-3

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread; 3 And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

AARON AND HIS SONS / LEVITICUS 8:1-3

Leviticus 8 describes the ordination (official ceremony that assigns one to an office or position) of Aaron and his sons to the priesthood. In the Old Testament, a worshiper who approached God needed not only an offering (Leviticus 1 – 7), but also the service of a priest (1 Timothy 2:5), who acted as a mediator between the person and God. The book of Leviticus describes in detail the Levitical priesthood, which was made up of ministry and worship leaders who came from the family, or tribe, of Levi. This priesthood ultimately was fulfilled by Jesus Christ, the believer’s high priest (Hebrews 2:17).

  1. A priest was appointed to represent the people and act as a mediator between them and God (Hebrews 5:1). A priest’s purpose was to lead the worship ceremonies and help men and women approach God so they could worship and receive forgiveness (Hebrews 7:24-25; 10:14). 
  2. The priest brought people “near to God” and provided opportunity for their relationship with Him by offering gifts and sacrifices for sin and by teaching God’s law (Deuteronomy 33:8-10; Hebrews 5:1; 8:3; 9:7, 13).
  3. Under the new covenant (God’s plan to bring people into a relationship with Himself by sending His Son, Jesus, to die for our sins and provide forgiveness), a priest’s service is no longer needed. (The New Testament includes no priestly ministry among the ministry gifts listed in Ephesians 4:11.) That is because Jesus Christ is now the high priest of the new covenant (Hebrews 9:15-22), replacing the imperfect Old Testament priesthood. He is a perfect priest “forever” (1 Timothy 2:5: Hebrews 7:25; 9:23-28).

WAVE OFFERING / LEVITICUS 7:30

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Leviticus 7:30

 His own hands shall bring the offerings of the Lord made by fire, the fat with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the Lord.

WAVE OFFERING / LEVITICUS 7:30

The “wave offering” was the priests’ portion of the fellowship offering. It was waved toward the sanctuary as a sign of dedication to God and then waved toward the one who offered it or toward the priest, indicating that God was now putting it towards his or her use.
