Week 8 Day 7 Holy, Holy, Holy

Leviticus 21-22
Most of this reading selection was about the expectations for a priest. Wow. There are a lot. The guidelines list their appearance expectations, requirements for marrying, strict rules for family, even the mourning process. The priests were a people set apart. Their lives had to look much different than the lives of the common people. Why? Because God is holy. He is a holy God. Since the priests are the ones who are communicating with God, they must be as holy as they can be.

The last part of the selection was about the animal sacrifices.

I have to admit, I am eagerly awaiting a selection without animal sacrifices.

Ugh.

More soon!

Next: Leviticus 23-25
