More regulations, do this, do that, at this time and that time. Some of us spend our days free of appointments, responsibilities, deadlines and “lists”. Others of us are not so, some of them are so busy they don’t have time to rest, mourn or plan. People who have fulfilled…
When something is repeated, it’s often for the purpose of emphasis. In Leviticus 6:18, there is the emphasis of Aaron and his sons / descendants, and their eating what is left of the offering burned in fire. What are key points? In short and taking things in a simplistic way,…
Leviticus 6:16-17 has a curious turn to the style of writing so far in this chapter. It says some people will eat the leftover. The leftover is unbaked, and they eat it in a holy place. They eat the leftover in a specially named place which is a holy place.…
JOY & COMFORT The gospel brings about joy and comfort in our lives. As the body of Christ, we praise him, we worship him. The gospel of Jesus Christ lives in us to grow in our faith, and lives through us in conveying joy and comfort to others. Conveying the…
Always take some money with you, a senior in the family said. In the event you are robbed, at least you have some cash to give, and high chance you will not be harmed. There are meanings in words being said. “Watch out for the cars” is for our…

Leviticus 6:10-11 speaks about the priest who carries out the necessary offering at the altar. There is the linen garment. Is there any significance? Does it apply today? The “outside the camp”. This is discussed in “All, all of it“: there is the distance and the journey to the camp.…
Rulers don’t rule. They give a factual declaration, the result is yes or no. The interpretation is up to us. Does the “all night” in Leviticus 6:8-9 suggest our worship ought to take so much precedence in our individual and corporate church lives as to last the night, or half…
There is no denial that despite all scientific achievement, depth of knowledge and breadth of creativity, humans have no dominion over life itself. Losing someone dear today is probably no different to 1,000 years ago, or 5,000, or the day the first human appeared. If we believe (or have the…
Leviticus 5 continues with themes of sin, offering, slaughter, blood, sprinkle etc etc. Sinning is going to happen. No one will say they have done (thought, said) anything wrong, or have not wronged others. Equally affirmative is that there is a way out when we sin. And that way can…
Does it get a little “boring” when something is repeated several times, almost in a single breath? The last section of Leviticus 4, verses 32-35, is the “forgiveness” formula that is repeated another time, having been already repeated several times for different groups or types of “forgiveness seeker”.
