Leviticus 5-8; Hebrews 3-4

Leviticus 5 - for certain sins of omission or unknown sins when realized, bring a female goat or lamb, or 2 doves or pigeons, or flour.  For unintentional sins, bring a ram, and restitution plus one fifth of it.

6 - for intentional sins, bring a ram, and restore the loss plus one fifth.  Rules for priests handling and eating the offerings, offering their own sacrifice of flour/oil.

7 - the guilt offering is to be eaten by the priest who offers it.  The peace offering must be offered with leavened bread, one loaf for the priest - the sacrifice must be eaten the same day.  Keep unclean items separate from sacrifices.  Don't eat fat or blood.  For peace offerings, burn the fat, give the breast and right thigh to the priest.

8 - Moses ordains the priests, putting on the clothes, anointing with oil, offering a bull (for sin), ram (for consecration), and ram (for ordination), wiping blood on their earlobe, thumb and toe, waving and burning the fat and bread.  They stay in the tent of meeting for 7 days, eating the sacrificed meat and bread.


Hebrews 3 - Jesus is greater than Moses.  Moses built God's house, but Jesus is over the house as a Son.  Don't rebel against Jesus as Israel did against Moses.

4 - We enter God's rest by faith in Christ, as God rested in His own work on the 7th day.  We can still enter that rest by faith, but God knows our hearts, if we really trust Him.  Jesus is our high priest, ascended to God, knowing our weaknesses, so draw near to Him.
