00:15 Hi and welcome back to His Words Are Life.
00:17 I'm Kelly Mowrer, and thank you 00:19 for joining with me today 00:20 to read the Bible. Before we read, let's pray together. 00:24 Dear Jesus, thank you that once again we can come and be 00:27 with You and hear Your words to us. 00:29 Please forgive us of our sins and please take from our mind 00:34 any thought that would distract us or stand between us 00:37 that the message that You wish for us to receive... 00:40 the blessing in the message that You have for us 00:42 in the words that we'll read today. 00:44 Please send Your Holy Spirit to guide us into a better 00:47 understanding of Your Love and of Your holiness. 00:51 And we love You so much and thank You for loving us. Amen. 00:54 We are reading in the book of Leviticus in chapter 16. 00:59 We have been reading about the sanctuary that Moses 01:02 and the Israelites prepared, and the different sacrifices 01:06 and offerings they would bring. 01:07 And we are picking up in the 16th chapter verse 30. 01:11 And this is the King James version. 01:13 For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you: 01:17 to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins 01:20 before the Lord. It shall be a Sabbath of rest 01:23 unto you, and you shall afflict your souls, 01:25 by a statute for ever. 01:26 And the priest, whom he shall anoint, 01:28 and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest's 01:31 office in his father's stead, shall make the atonement, 01:34 and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments: 01:37 And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, 01:39 and he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the 01:42 congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement 01:45 for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation. 01:48 And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, 01:51 to make an atonement for the children of Israel 01:53 for all their sins once a year. 01:55 And he did as the Lord commanded Moses. 01:59 We are continuing now in Leviticus in chapter 17. 02:02 And this is the King James version. 02:04 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 02:07 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, 02:09 and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them: 02:12 This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, saying, 02:15 What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an 02:18 ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, 02:22 or that killeth it out of the camp, 02:24 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle 02:26 of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the Lord 02:29 before the tabernacle of the Lord; blood shall be imputed 02:33 unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be 02:37 cut off from among his people; 02:38 To the end that the children of Israel may bring their 02:41 sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, 02:44 even that they may bring them unto the Lord, 02:47 unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 02:49 unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings 02:52 unto the Lord. And the priest shall sprinkle the blood 02:55 upon the altar of the Lord at the door of the tabernacle 02:58 of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savor 03:02 unto the Lord, And they shall no more offer their sacrifices 03:06 unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. 03:09 This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their 03:12 generations. And thou shalt say unto them, 03:15 Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, 03:17 or of the strangers which sojourn among you, 03:20 that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice, 03:22 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle 03:25 of the congregation, to offer it unto the Lord; 03:27 even that man shall be cut off from among his people. 03:30 And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, 03:33 or of the strangers that sojourn among you, 03:36 that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against 03:40 that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off 03:42 from among his people. 03:43 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: 03:47 and I have give it to you upon the altar 03:49 to make an atonement for your souls: 03:51 for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. 03:55 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, 03:57 No soul of you shall eat blood, 03:59 neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. 04:03 And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, 04:07 or of the strangers that sojourn among you, 04:09 which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; 04:13 he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. 04:17 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the 04:21 life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, 04:24 You shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: 04:26 for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof; 04:29 whosoever eateth it shall be cut off. 04:31 And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, 04:35 or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be 04:37 one of your own country, or a stranger, 04:39 he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, 04:42 and be unclean until the even: and then shall be clean. 04:46 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; 04:49 then he shall bear his iniquity. 04:51 We're in Leviticus 04:53 in chapter 18. 04:54 And this is the King James version. 04:56 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 04:59 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, 05:02 I am the Lord your God. 05:04 After the doings of the land of Egypt wherein ye dwelt, 05:08 shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, 05:12 whither I bring you, shall ye not do: 05:16 neither shall ye walk in their ordinances. 05:19 Ye shall do My judgments, and keep Mine ordinances, 05:22 to walk therein: I am the Lord your God. 05:27 Ye shall therefore keep My statutes, and My judgments: 05:31 which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the Lord. 05:37 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, 05:42 to uncover their nakedness: I am the Lord. 05:45 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, 05:49 shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; 05:52 thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 05:55 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: 05:59 it is thy father's nakedness. 06:00 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, 06:03 or daughter of thy mother whether she be born at home or 06:06 born abroad, even their naked- ness thou shalt not uncover. 06:09 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's 06:13 daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover; 06:17 for theirs is thine own nakedness. 06:19 The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, 06:22 begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, 06:25 thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 06:28 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's 06:30 sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman. 06:34 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's 06:36 sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman. 06:39 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's 06:42 brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife; she is thine aunt. 06:47 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy 06:49 daughter-in-law: she is thy son's wife, 06:51 thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 06:53 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: 06:57 it is thy brother's nakedness. 06:59 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her 07:02 daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, 07:05 or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; 07:08 for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness. 07:11 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, 07:15 to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time. 07:18 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her 07:22 nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness. 07:25 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbor's 07:29 wife, to defile thyself with her. 07:31 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire 07:35 to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: 07:38 I am the Lord. 07:40 Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind: 07:43 it is abomination. 07:45 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself 07:48 therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast 07:52 to lie down thereto: it is confusion. 07:55 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: 07:58 for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out 08:03 before you: And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit 08:07 the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth 08:10 out her inhabitants. 08:12 You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, 08:15 and shall not commit any of these abominations; 08:17 neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that 08:20 sojourneth among you: (For all these abominations 08:23 have the men of the land done, which were before you, 08:26 and the land is defiled;) 08:28 That the land spew not you out also, when ye defile it, 08:32 as it spewed out the nations that were before you. 08:35 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, 08:38 even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among 08:42 their people. Therefore shall ye keep Mine ordinance, 08:46 that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, 08:49 which were committed before you, and that ye defile not 08:52 yourselves therein: I am the Lord your God. 08:57 Continuing on with Leviticus 08:59 in chapter 19. 09:00 This is the King James version. 09:01 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 09:05 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and 09:07 say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy. 09:13 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, 09:16 and keep My Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God. 09:19 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: 09:23 I am the Lord your God. 09:26 And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the Lord, 09:30 ye shall offer it at your own will. 09:33 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the morrow: 09:36 and if aught remain until the third day, it shall be burnt 09:39 in the fire. And if it be eaten at all of the third day, 09:42 it is abominable; it shall not be accepted. 09:45 Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, 09:50 because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the Lord: 09:52 and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 09:55 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not 09:58 wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou 10:02 gather the gleanings of thy harvest. 10:04 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou 10:07 gather every grape of thy vineyard: thou shalt leave them 10:10 for the poor and the stranger: I am the Lord your God. 10:14 Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, 10:18 neither lie one to another. 10:19 And ye shall not swear by My name falsely, neither shalt thou 10:22 profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord. 10:25 Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbor, neither rob him: 10:29 the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee 10:32 all night until the morning. 10:34 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block 10:37 before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the Lord. 10:42 You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: 10:45 thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, 10:48 nor honor the person of the mighty: 10:50 but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor. 10:53 Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: 10:59 neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor: 11:02 I am the Lord. 11:04 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: 11:07 thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbor, and not suffer sin 11:11 upon him. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the 11:16 children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor 11:20 as thyself: I am the Lord. 11:24 You shall keep My statutes, Thou shalt not let thy cattle 11:28 gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field 11:31 with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled 11:34 of linen and woolen come upon thee. 11:37 And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a 11:41 bondmaid, betrothed to a husband, and not at all 11:44 redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; 11:48 they shall not be put to death, because she was not free. 11:51 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord, 11:55 unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 11:58 even a ram for a trespass offering. 12:01 And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram 12:04 of the trespass offering before the Lord 12:06 for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done 12:10 shall be forgiven him. 12:12 And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted 12:15 all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit 12:18 thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as 12:23 uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of. 12:26 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy 12:29 to praise the Lord withal. 12:31 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, 12:35 that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: 12:38 I am the Lord your God. 12:40 Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: 12:44 neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times. 12:47 You shall not round the corners of your heads, 12:49 neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard. 12:52 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, 12:56 nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord. 12:59 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; 13:03 lest the land fall to whoredom, 13:05 and the land become full of wickedness. 13:07 Ye shall keep My Sabbaths, and reverence My sanctuary: 13:12 I am the Lord. 13:13 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, 13:17 neither seek after wizards to be defiled by them: 13:21 I am the Lord your God. 13:24 Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honor the face 13:28 of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the Lord. 13:33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, 13:36 ye shall not vex him. 13:38 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you 13:41 as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; 13:44 for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: 13:46 I am the Lord your God. 13:48 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, 13:53 in weight, or in measure. Just balances, 13:57 just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: 14:01 I am the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land 14:04 of Egypt. Therefore shall ye observe all My statutes, 14:08 and all My judgments, and do them: I am the Lord. 14:14 The next time we are together 14:15 we'll continue reading in 14:16 Leviticus chapter 20. 14:18 But until then, the lessons that God laid out for the Israelites 14:22 are just as applicable to each one of us today. 14:24 We are to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. 14:26 We are to treat others the way we wish to be treated 14:28 and do everything fairly and honorably. 14:31 Not bearing false witness; not bearing tales among each other. 14:34 Let's live as children of the light. 14:36 Join with me next time, goodbye. |
