LIFE OF A CREATURE IS IN THE BLOOD / LEVITICUS 17:11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Leviticus 17:11

For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

LIFE OF A CREATURE IS IN THE BLOOD / LEVITICUS 17:11

This passage reveals the reason for blood sacrifices and how they relate to atonement (a “covering” for sin). The animal’s blood represented its life (Leviticus 17:14). Therefore, the price of atonement for human sin was the loss of a life. Through this substitutionary atonement, God’s plan spared human beings from having to give their own lives. In this way, the blood of an innocent sacrifice (the animal) provided a “covering” for the guilty person’s sin. The principle of substitutionary atonement helps us understand the importance of Christ’s blood in providing forgiveness and spiritual salvation under the new covenant. As Jesus Christ shed His blood on the cross, He substituted His life for the sinner’s life (Romans 5:1). Because His life was perfect and sinless, His blood is priceless and provides a complete covering for all sin. Jesus offers perfect salvation (forgiveness for sin and an eternal relationship with God) for all who accept, trust and follow Him (Colossians 1:13-14; Hebrews 9:13-14; 1 John 1:7; Revelation 7:14).

THE GOAT IDOLS / LEVITICUS 17:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Leviticus 17:7

And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.

THE GOAT IDOLS / LEVITICUS 17:7

“Goat idols” literally means “hairy ones.” Evidently during Moses’ time, Israel had adopted the practice of offering sacrifices to desert demons – false “gods” – in an attempt to gain their help or favor. This behavior, which showed open and unashamed spiritual rebellion and unfaithfulness to the true God, was strictly forbidden.

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).
