You may recall that last week I wrote a little post about why taking a Nazirite vow would be awesome. Well, just when you thought the awesomeness couldn’t get any awesomer, Numbers 8 comes along and drops more awesome things right into our laps! It is like Christmas all over again! Are you ready? Let’s … Continue reading

One of these tribes is not like the others. One of these tribes just doesn’t belong (in the army, that is). Any guesses as to which one? That’s right! The Levites! Numbers 3 is dedicated to giving us a more comprehensive understanding of what this little tribe is all about. I found two main things … Continue reading
Can I make a confession? I was not looking forward to Leviticus. I was dreading it. How would I be able, day after day, to study a seemingly endless list of laws about slaughtering animals? What kind of material would there be for me to write about? But I honestly can’t believe how interesting this … Continue reading
If you’ve been following along in Leviticus, you have probably seen that Israel’s priests are some busy guys. It was starting to feel like there was no end to their responsibilities. Well, that all changed in Leviticus 21. The priests finally learn some things they shouldn’t do. Running the local morgue tops the list. Relationships … Continue reading
Is there anything these priests can’t do? You can add to the already long list of responsibilities “Home Inspector.” These guys could work circles around most pastors and priests nowadays. What’s that? You preach AND visit sick people? Congratulations! Yesterday I slaughtered a bull, BBQed it, ate that sucker, diagnosed several skin diseases and prescribed … Continue reading

I am going to have to revise my previous post about what Priests do all day. Leviticus 13 informed me that in addition to being butchers, and BBQ chefs, they must also act as doctors by diagnosing various potential skin diseases. This could get confusing for them. So in order to help out, I created … Continue reading
Wanna learn something new today? Leviticus 12 is the shortest chapter in the Bible so far. In fact, this post will probably end up being longer than the chapter itself. And that was good because I am on my last page of Leviticus and need to print out some more but I am out of … Continue reading

Leviticus 9 is a chapter where a lot of stuff goes right. Things happen as they should. Much is done “as the LORD commanded Moses” or, “as Moses had commanded.” And that’s nice. We have been on a pretty good streak ever since that little hiccup in Exodus 32. Aaron Arrayed in his newly minted … Continue reading
Now here is something I never expected to find in Leviticus: Narrative. I thought this whole book was just going to be law after law after law. I was wrong. The laws have taken a little break and given way to the ongoing story of this crazy people God brought out of Egypt. Granted, it … Continue reading
I don’t know how your weekend was. And that is a good thing. Because if I DID know, that would mean I had all kinds of ways to spy on you. And let’s face it, you don’t want me to do that and I don’t want that kind of awesome power. But my weekend involved … Continue reading
