Outline• Lev 7:1 The Guilt Offering• Lev 7:11 The Fellowship Offering• Lev 7:22 Eating Fat and Blood Forbidden• Lev 7:28 The Priests' Share

• Lev 8:1 Aaron and His Sons Ordained • Lev 9:1 The Priests Ministry Begin • Lev 10:1 Nadab and Abihu’s strange fire

Let’s Read Leviticus 8:1-36

• Lev 8:1 Aaron and His Sons Ordained • Lev 9:1 The Priests Ministry Begin • Lev 10:1 Nadab and Abihu’s strange fire

Leviticus 8:2, Consecration = Lots’a Stuff

• Leviticus 8:2 "Take Aaron and his sons [Levites] with him, and the garments and the anointing oil and the bull of the sin offering, and the two rams and the basket of unleavened bread,

• Consecration unto service of YHWH is serious• Exodus 18:2 And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Moses'

wife Zipporah… 3 and her two sons …named Gershom… 4 And …Eliezer, …Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife …coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her.“

• Exodus 18:27 Then Moses bade his father-in-law farewell, and he went his way into his own land.

Leviticus 8:3, All Israel

• Leviticus 8:3 and assemble all the congregation…

• The whole nation came out.

Leviticus 8:6, Washed With Water

• Leviticus 8:6 Then Moses had Aaron and his sons come near and washed them with water.

• They were completely washed to consecrate them (justification), then they would daily be washing their hands and feet to maintain holiness (sanctification). 1 John 1:9

• John 13:9 Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.“10 Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."

Leviticus 8:6-7 Cleansed, Clothed, Equipped

• Leviticus 8:6-9 …washed them with water. 7…put the tunic on him and girded him with the sash, and clothed him with the robe and put the ephod on him; and he girded him with the artistic band of the ephod… 8 …the breastpiece …on the turban… the holy crown…

• This should sound familiar to us;

Leviticus 8:6-7, Ephesians 6:10-19 Cleansed, Clothed, Equipped

• Ephesians 6:10 …be strong in the Lord … 11 Put on the full armor of God… 13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God… 14 Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, 15 and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; 16 in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith … 17 And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 With all prayer and petition pray…19 and pray on my behalf, …to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,

The High Priest

(Exodus 28:1-43; 39:1-31)The high priest’s life was dedicated to serving the Lord and representing the people before their God. The design of the priestly garments was an expression of God’s righteousness and merciful love for his people.

The High Priest

Tunic: The priest dressed first in a checkered tunic of fine linen. (Exodus 28:39)Robe:Over the tunic, the priest wore a blue robe with golden bells and pomegranates.(Exodus 28:31-34)

Leviticus 8:8, Urim and the Thummim• Leviticus 8:8 He then placed

the breastpiece on him, and in the breastpiece he put the Urim and the Thummim.

Urim and ThummimStrong’s has “lights and perfections”

• This seems to come from the Hebrew roots

Urim and ThummimEaston’s Bible Dictionary

• 3648 Thummim, perfection (LXX., "truth;" Vulg., "veritas"), Ex 28:30 De 33:8 Jud 1:1 20:18 1Sa 14:3,18 23:9 2Sa 21:1 What the "Urim and Thummim" were cannot be determined with any certainty. All we certainly know is that they were a certain divinely-given means by which God imparted, through the high priest, direction and counsel to Israel when these were needed. The method by which this was done can be only a matter of mere conjecture. They were apparently material objects, quite distinct from the breastplate, but something added to it after all the stones had been set in it, something in addition to the breastplate and its jewels. They may have been, as some suppose, two small images, like the teraphim (comp.) Jud 17:5 18:14,17,20 Ho 3:4 which were kept in the bag of the breastplate, by which, in some unknown way, the high priest could give forth his divinely imparted decision when consulted. They were probably lost at the destruction of the temple by Nebuchadnezzar. They were never seen after the return from captivity.

Exodus 28:30, Urim and the Thummim

• Exodus 28:30 "You shall put in the breastpiece of judgment the Urim and the Thummim, and they shall be over Aaron's heart when he goes in before the LORD; and Aaron shall carry the judgment of the sons of Israel over his heart before the LORD continually.

The High Priest

Breastplate and Urim and Thummim: The gold breastplate of judgment hung from chains of pure gold, twisted like cords. In the breastplate were the Urim and Thumim.

The High Priest

Stones: Inside the breastplate were twelve stones representing the twelve tribes of Israel. (Exodus 28:17-21)

Receiving God’s Guidance• Four Principles For Receiving God’s Guidance, by Larry Sarver• “A flight attendant spent a week’s vacation in the Rockies. She was

captivated by the mountain peaks, the clear blue skies, and the sweet smelling pines. But she also was charmed by a very eligible bachelor who owned and operated a cattle ranch and lived in a log cabin. At the end of this week, Mr. Wonderful proposed. But it had all happened so quickly that the woman decided to return home and to her job, feeling that she would somehow be guided to make the right decision. The next day, in flight, she found herself wondering what to do. To perk up, she stopped in the rest room and splashed some cool water on her face.

• There was some turbulence and a sign in the rest room lit up: PLEASE RETURN TO THE CABIN. She did–to the cabin back in the mountains

Leviticus 8:10, Tabernacle

• Leviticus 8:10 Moses then took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and consecrated them.

• Exodus uses “tabernacle” 55X’s, yet only 3 uses in Leviticus.

• John 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Leviticus 8:12, Anointing Oil On Aaron

• Leviticus 8:12 Then he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed him, to consecrate him.

• Psalm 133:1 A Song of Ascents, of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brothers to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious oil upon the head, Coming down upon the beard, Even Aaron's beard, Coming down upon the edge of his robes. 3 It is like the dew of Hermon Coming down upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing-- life forever.

Leviticus 8:12, Anointing Oil On Aaron

• Leviticus 8:12 Then he poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed him, to consecrate him.

• Leviticus 8:12, Anointing of Aaron with oil ( I think of the Holy Spirit).

• Leviticus 8:23, Anointing of Aaron with blood ( I think of the Son).

• He is then ready to serve God.

Leviticus 8:22, Ordination

• Leviticus 8:22 Then he presented the second ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

Leviticus 8:24, Blood On The Right Ear, Thumb, And Big Toe?

• Leviticus 8:24 He also had Aaron's sons come near; and Moses put some of the blood on the lobe of their right ear, and on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot…

• Ryrie Study Bible notes on page 104, Exodus 29, reads "These verses describe the installation of the priests, which include washing (v. 4), anointing (V. 7), clothing (vv. 8–9), and offering sacrifices (vv. 10–28). The priest’s ears (symbolizing obedience to God, cf. 21:6), thumbs and toes (symbolizing work for God) were specially dedicated to God (29:20). The ceremonies lasted seven days (v. 35)."

Leviticus 8:35, Keep The Charge So That You Will Not Die

• Leviticus 8:35 "At the doorway of the tent of meeting, moreover, you shall remain day and night for seven days and keep the charge of the LORD, so that you will not die, for so I have been commanded.“

• Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

• Genesis 2:17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.“

• Leviticus 10:1 Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took their respective firepans, and after putting fire in them, placed incense on it and offered strange fire before the LORD, which He had not commanded them. 2 And fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they died before the LORD.

Leviticus 8:35, Keep The Charge So That You Will Not Die

The Good News

• Those who trust in Jesus will not die… • John 6:50 "This is the bread which comes

down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. 51 "I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.“

The Pure Spotless Lamb K-House eNews

• “Peter describes how we are saved by “the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” Just as John the Baptist understood, Jesus was the fulfillment of the Levitical system of blood sacrifice (e.g. Lev 8–9). Jesus was the true spotless lamb whose blood could take away sins. The sacrifice of bulls and goats could never take away sin, as the writer of Hebrews noted in verses 10:4–5, [quoting Psalm 40:6] “For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me.” …

• Throughout the Law and the Prophets, God revealed His eternal plan of redemption to mankind. In advance, He described the sacrifice and resurrection of the Messiah. It was a plan He had purposed before He had even formed humanity. He then accomplished it, and through Jesus Christ we have the victory now and forever.

• Praise the King!”

Leviticus 9

Lev 9:1 The Priests Ministry Begin

Let’s Read Leviticus 9:1-24• Lev 8:1 Aaron and His Sons Ordained

• Lev 9:1 The Priests Ministry Begin • Lev 10:1 Nadab and Abihu’s strange fire

Leviticus 9:1, On The Eighth Day

• Leviticus 9:1 Now it came about on the eighth day that Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel;

• After the prescribed 7 days of offerings you’d think they were done.

• No, that was for the ordination…• Leviticus 9:2 …"Take for yourself …and offer

them before the LORD.

Leviticus 9:15, On The Eighth Day

• Leviticus 9:2 …"Take for yourself …and offer them before the LORD.

• Then,• Leviticus 9:15 Then he presented the people's offering, and

took the goat of the sin offering which was for the people, and slaughtered it and offered it for sin, like the first.

• After all they’ve been through on Mt. Sinai they must have zealously religious, believing and listening for God, yet their sins were not paid for yet. There had to be shedding of blood for sin specifically before coming close to the presence of God.

Leviticus 9:15-22, Sin Offering

• Leviticus 9:15-22, sin offering… the burnt offering, …the grain offering, …the sacrifice of peace offerings …as a wave offering before the LORD, just as Moses had commanded.

• 22 Then Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them, and he stepped down after making the sin offering and the burnt offering and the peace offerings.

• Ryrie Study Bible notes on page 130, says, “These symbolize (in order) atonement, dedication, sustenance, and communication.”

Leviticus 9:23, The Glory Of The LORD Appeared To All The People

• Leviticus 9:23 Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting. When they came out and blessed the people, the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people.

• Shekinah?• Pillar of cloud and/or fire?

Leviticus 9:24, The LORD, He Is God• Leviticus 9:24 Then fire came out from before the LORD and

consumed the burnt offering and the portions of fat on the altar; and when all the people saw it, they shouted and fell on their faces.

• When it says “they shouted” do you suppose “Hallelujah!,” or the fear of the Lord? Talk about “shock and awe.”

• 1 Kings 18:23… 25 So Elijah said to the prophets of Baal…• 38 Then the fire of the LORD fell and consumed the burnt offering

and the wood and the stones and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. 39 When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, "The LORD, He is God; the LORD, He is God."

• 40 Then Elijah said to them, "Seize the prophets of Baal…

Lev 9:23, The Glory Of The LORD • Leviticus 9:23 …the glory

of the LORD appeared to all the people.

• Remember that the glory of the LORD made Moses’ face radiate?

• This has cause many to depicted Moses with horns.

Lev 9:23, Moses Depicted With Horns

Why was Moses depicted with horns? Dr. Eli Lizorkin-Eyzenberg

• When we look at pictorial representations by many medieval artists we cannot help to notice that in their rendition Moses curiously appears with horns! How did great Christian artists such as Michelangelo, among hundreds of others, conceive of the idea that Moses had horns? To put it simply - something got lost in translation. Michelangelo's Moses

• We read in Ex.34:29: And when Moses came down from the mount Sinai, he held the two tables of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned from the conversation of the Lord (English translation of Latin Vulgate).

• What eventually became the Latin Vulgate Bible mistakenly translated the word קרן  not with the idea of “shining/radiance”, but with an idea of “grown horns” (since in Hebrew without vowels it can be translate both ways).

This Word Caused All The Confusion

• ן 07160 qaran {kaw-ran'} ָקַר�• Meaning: 1) to shine 1a) (Qal) to send out

1 Corinthians 5:7 Lev 8 Psalm 16:8 Psalm 22 Isaiah 52:13 53:12 Acts 2:24 Zechariah 12:10 Luke 24:46, Christ's Death and

Resurrection In the Old Testament• Christ's Death and Resurrection In the Old Testament• from the March 26, 2013 eNews issue

http://www.khouse.org (visit our website for a FREE subscription) K-House eNews for March 26, 2013

• “And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced…” — Zechariah 12:10• “…Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:” — Luke 24:46• After his resurrection, Jesus met two men on the road to Emmaus, and he expected them to already understand through the Scriptures that Christ was meant to suffer and die. “And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself,” (Luke 24:26–27).• We would all have loved to be there on the road to Emmaus that day, walking with the resurrected Jesus himself as he detailed the different prophecies that concerned his death and resurrection. Still, the apostles and other New Testament writers do a good job of filling us in. The Old Testament is filled with

prophecies and types of Jesus’ suffering and death and resurrection as payment for the sins of the world, and the New Testament points those out.• Psalm 16:8–11• Simon Peter starts out on the day of Pentecost explaining that Jesus the Messiah had risen from the dead, “Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it,” (Acts 2:24). Peter then pulled from the Psalms to prove the truth of his testimony.• “For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One

to see corruption. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.• “Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his

throne; He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.” — Acts 2:24–32• Psalm 22• The sacrifice and resurrection of the Messiah are throughout the Old Testament. Psalm 22, written by King David a millennium before Christ, gives us the very perspective of the Lord hanging on the cross. It describes how the people mocked Christ (Psalm 22:7–8; Mat 27:41–43), how they cast lots to divide up his

clothes (Psalm 22:18; Mat 27:35), how his bones were out of joint (Psalm 22:14), how the wicked had surrounded him and pierced his hands and feet (Psalm 22:16) – the scars of which Thomas later got to touch and feel (John 20:27). Psalm 22 ends by saying God’s righteousness would be declared to “a people that shall be born” (Psalm 22:31).

• The Sign of Jonah• The Bible is also full of types and foreshadowings. Jesus Christ is throughout the Old Testament in a variety of details. For instance, before his death and resurrection, Jesus offered simply the “sign of Jonah” as a foreshadowing of how long he would be dead.• “For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” — Matthew 12:40• Isaiah 53• Isaiah 52:13–53:12 offers one of the most profound prophecies in the entire Old Testament, written over 700 years before Christ’s death and resurrection.• “He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our

transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” — Isaiah 53:3–6• Some have argued that this passage refers to Israel, but in the context that explanation makes little sense. Isaiah clearly says in verse 53:8, “for the transgression of my people was he stricken.” That is, “he” stands in contrast to Israel, Isaiah’s people.• In the next verse, Isaiah says: “And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.”• It cannot be said of Israel that there was no deceit in her mouth.• On the other hand, Jesus was crucified between two thieves (Mark 15:27), and yet was buried in the grave of Joseph of Arimathaea, a wealthy man with enough standing to go ask Pilate for Jesus’ body (Mark15:43–46).• In Isaiah 53:10, we get a hint at a resurrection, because after his soul is made “an offering for sin” he will then “prolong his days.”• In the end, Isaiah says in verse 12 that God would reward this righteous servant (numbered with the transgressors, but not one himself), “ he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made

intercession for the transgressors.”• Our Redeemer Lives• In the oldest book of the Bible, written even before Moses wrote the Pentateuch, Job prophesied from the ash heap where he suffered. He declared in verses 19:25–26:• “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God.”• Passover• These prophecies are just the beginning, of course. Exodus 12:1–28 describes the feast of Passover. It was set up as a type of Christ, one that gave the Hebrews an understanding of the use of a perfect lamb as a sacrifice, the blood of which would protect those under it from the wrath of God, the angel of death. The

Jews were to prepare for the feast by removing all leaven from their homes, symbolic of removing sin from their lives.• Paul the scholar writes in 1 Corinthians 5:7, “Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us.”• The Pure Spotless Lamb• Peter describes how we are saved by “the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” Just as John the Baptist understood, Jesus was the fulfillment of the Levitical system of blood sacrifice (e.g. Lev 8–9). Jesus was the true spotless lamb whose blood could take away sins. The sacrifice of

bulls and goats could never take away sin, as the writer of Hebrews noted in verses 10:4–5, quoting Psalm 40:6:• “For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me.”• The sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the sins of humanity was not an afterthought of God. It was always the plan from the beginning. Revelation 13:8 calls Jesus, “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”• Throughout the Law and the Prophets, God revealed His eternal plan of redemption to mankind. In advance, He described the sacrifice and resurrection of the Messiah. It was a plan He had purposed before He had even formed humanity. He then accomplished it, and through Jesus Christ we have the victory now and

forever.• Praise the King!• “He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.” — Isaiah 25:8• Related Links:• • Friday or Wednesday?
