NOTES: LEVITICUS 1, 10-11
-Aaron's sons offered unauthorized fire before the Lord, and they died
-The Lord commands Aaron to not let his sons drink wine or other fermented drink when going into the Tent of Meeting
-"You must distinguish between the holy and the common, between the unclean and clean, and you must teach the Israelites all the decrees the Lord has given them through moses" (10:10)
-The Lord gives Moses and Aaron instruction on clean and unclean food (chapter 11)
-LEVITICUS 16, 25-26
-After Aaron's sons die, the Lord commands him to make atonement for himself and his household through burnt sacrifices
-The Lord gives Moses commands for his people upon entering the promised land
-"When you enter the land I am going to give you, the land itself must observe a sabbath to the Lord" (for six years)
-"Count off seven sabbaths of years--seven times seven years--so that the seven sabbaths of years amount to a period of forty-nine years.....In this Year of Jubilee everyone is to return to his own property"
-"Do not make idols or set up an image or a sacred stone for yourselves....I am the Lord your God. Observe my Sabbaths and have reverence for my sanctuary. I am the Lord. If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands,...I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you."
-"But if you will not listen to me and carry out all these commands, and if you reject my decrees and abhor my laws and fail to carry out all my commands and so violate my covenant, then I will do this to you: I will bring upon you sudden terror....I will set my face against you so that you will be defeated by your enemies" (chapter 26)
-"But if they will confess their sins and the sins of their fathers....I will remember the land...I will not reject them or abhor them so as to destroy them completely. But for their sake I wwill remember the covenant with their ancestors whom I brought out of Egypt in the sight of the nations to be their God. I am the Lord"
ACT OF LOVE: Today, my friend really wanted to eat Chik-fil-A for lunch, but didn't have enough money, so I gave him the money he needed to buy a chicken sandwich and a cookie ($2).
At home, I helped my dad download iTunes on the computer so that he could use the iPad he bought for family in China.
