Hi and welcome back
to His Words Are Life.
00:00:15.91\00:00:18.11
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and thank you
00:00:18.31\00:00:19.61
for joining with me
today to read the Word of God.
00:00:19.71\00:00:22.14
We've been spending some time
in the last few times we've been
00:00:22.34\00:00:25.63
together reading the different
rules and guidelines that God
00:00:25.73\00:00:31.10
was laying down to Moses and the
00:00:31.20\00:00:32.53
children of Israel regarding the
00:00:32.63\00:00:33.99
sacrifices and then more
00:00:34.09\00:00:35.38
recently regarding leprosy.
00:00:35.48\00:00:37.02
And it's sort of a temptation,
I guess, for me sometimes
00:00:37.22\00:00:41.80
in reading these
things to... to lose sight.
00:00:41.90\00:00:44.49
They don't apply
specifically to my life.
00:00:44.59\00:00:48.76
But in reading them together,
I don't want us to lose sight
00:00:48.96\00:00:51.84
of how they can apply
in principle to our lives.
00:00:51.94\00:00:54.38
And it occurred to
me as we were reading
00:00:54.58\00:00:56.84
and as we will continue to read,
particularly about the leprosy
00:00:56.94\00:00:59.56
and about the aspect of
the unclean and the clean,
00:00:59.66\00:01:03.27
that... you know, Proverbs says
a few flies ruin the ointment.
00:01:03.38\00:01:06.96
And God was so concerned that
the Israelites keep their houses
00:01:07.16\00:01:13.15
and their garments and their
lives clean before Him that He
00:01:13.25\00:01:16.31
that He laid out all
these rules. And the lesson I...
00:01:16.44\00:01:18.48
that it struck me as we were
reading is that anything in my
00:01:18.58\00:01:22.27
life, no matter how tiny,
and how small or minute, that
00:01:22.37\00:01:26.72
contributes to distancing
me from God is unclean
00:01:26.82\00:01:30.57
and I need that washed
out by the power of His blood.
00:01:30.67\00:01:33.15
Let's pray together
before we keep reading.
00:01:33.35\00:01:35.38
Dear God, thank you so much
for these words that serve to...
00:01:35.78\00:01:40.50
to guide us closer to You,
and that's where we want most
00:01:40.60\00:01:43.76
to be. As we read about
the laws and the guidelines
00:01:43.86\00:01:49.73
that You gave regarding the
cleansing of houses and garments
00:01:49.83\00:01:54.42
and skin and the things...
hair... the things that were
00:01:54.53\00:01:57.68
affected by leprosy in
the days of the Israelites,
00:01:57.78\00:02:00.47
show us what in our lives
we need to bring to You to
00:02:00.67\00:02:04.44
cleanse with Your blood...
even the littlest of things.
00:02:04.55\00:02:08.02
We don't want anything
standing between us and You.
00:02:08.22\00:02:11.53
We want to be Yours completely.
00:02:11.64\00:02:13.95
Please guide us now as we
read. Send Your Holy Spirit to
00:02:14.15\00:02:17.33
lead us into a deeper
under- standing of Your truth.
00:02:17.44\00:02:19.79
We love You so much, and
thank You for loving us. Amen.
00:02:19.89\00:02:22.80
We'll continue now
in reading of Leviticus.
00:02:23.10\00:02:26.22
We're in chapter 14;
we'll begin with verse 42.
00:02:26.43\00:02:29.73
I'm sorry. We'll
begin with verse 43.
00:02:29.93\00:02:33.52
It's talking about leprosy
being found within a house
00:02:33.62\00:02:36.80
and how that is to
be cleaned, rebuilt.
00:02:36.90\00:02:39.09
This is the King James version.
00:02:39.29\00:02:40.53
Leviticus 14 verse 43.
00:02:40.73\00:02:42.49
And if the plague come again,
and break out in the house,
00:02:42.69\00:02:46.44
after that he hath taken away
the stones, and after he hath
00:02:46.54\00:02:50.07
scraped the house,
and after it is plastered;
00:02:50.17\00:02:52.54
Then the priest shall come and
look, and, behold, if the plague
00:02:52.64\00:02:55.87
be spread in the house, it is
a fretting leprosy in the house:
00:02:55.97\00:02:59.43
it is unclean.
00:02:59.53\00:03:00.60
And he shall break down
the house, the stones of it,
00:03:00.80\00:03:03.18
and the timber thereof, and
all the mortar of the house;
00:03:03.28\00:03:05.48
and he shall carry
them forth out of the city
00:03:05.58\00:03:08.10
into an unclean place.
00:03:08.20\00:03:09.58
Moreover he that goeth into the
house all the while that it is
00:03:09.78\00:03:13.61
shut up shall be
unclean until the even.
00:03:13.71\00:03:16.37
And he that lieth in the
house shall wash his clothes;
00:03:16.47\00:03:18.76
and he that eateth in the
house shall wash his clothes.
00:03:18.86\00:03:21.37
And if the priest shall
come in and look upon it,
00:03:21.57\00:03:24.35
and, behold, the plague
hath not spread in the house,
00:03:24.45\00:03:27.12
after the house was plastered:
then the priest shall pronounce
00:03:27.22\00:03:30.67
the house clean,
because the plague is healed.
00:03:30.77\00:03:33.12
And he shall take to
cleanse the house two birds,
00:03:33.32\00:03:37.18
and cedar wood, and
scarlet, and hyssop:
00:03:37.28\00:03:39.69
And he shall kill the one of
the birds in an earthen vessel
00:03:39.89\00:03:43.74
over running water: And
he shall take the cedar wood,
00:03:43.84\00:03:46.71
and the hyssop, and the
scarlet, and the living bird,
00:03:46.81\00:03:49.27
and dip them in the
blood of the slain bird,
00:03:49.37\00:03:52.40
and in the running water, and
sprinkle the house seven times:
00:03:52.50\00:03:56.04
And he shall cleanse the house
with the blood of the bird,
00:03:56.07\00:03:59.68
and with the running
water, and with the living bird,
00:03:59.78\00:04:02.01
and with the cedar
wood, and with the hyssop,
00:04:02.11\00:04:03.85
and with the scarlet: And
he shall let go the living bird
00:04:03.95\00:04:06.90
out of the city into the open
fields, and make an atonement
00:04:07.01\00:04:10.70
for the house:
and it shall be clean.
00:04:10.80\00:04:13.18
This is the law for all manner
of plague of leprosy, and scall,
00:04:13.38\00:04:18.60
And for the leprosy of
a garment, and of a house,
00:04:18.70\00:04:21.91
For a rising, and for a
scab, and for a bright spot:
00:04:22.01\00:04:24.63
To teach when it is
unclean, and when it is clean:
00:04:24.83\00:04:28.51
this is the law of leprosy.
00:04:28.72\00:04:31.18
Continuing to read now in
00:04:31.38\00:04:32.81
Leviticus in chapter 15.
00:04:32.91\00:04:34.54
This is the King James version.
00:04:34.74\00:04:35.81
And the Lord spake unto
Moses and to Aaron, saying,
00:04:36.01\00:04:39.01
Speak unto the children
of Israel, and say unto them,
00:04:39.21\00:04:41.87
When any man hath a
running issue out of his flesh,
00:04:42.07\00:04:45.25
because of his
issue he is unclean.
00:04:45.35\00:04:47.85
And this shall be his
uncleanness in his issue:
00:04:48.05\00:04:50.86
whether his flesh run with his
issue or his flesh be stopped
00:04:51.06\00:04:54.10
from his issue, it
is his uncleanness.
00:04:54.20\00:04:57.05
Every bed, whereon he lieth
that hath the issue, is unclean:
00:04:57.26\00:05:02.50
and every thing, whereon
he sitteth, shall be unclean.
00:05:02.70\00:05:06.47
And whosoever toucheth his
bed shall wash his clothes,
00:05:06.67\00:05:10.97
and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the even.
00:05:11.27\00:05:14.27
And he that sitteth on any
thing whereon he sat that hath
00:05:14.37\00:05:19.66
the issue shall wash his
clothes, and bathe himself
00:05:19.76\00:05:22.24
in water, and be
unclean until the even.
00:05:22.34\00:05:25.13
And he that toucheth the
flesh of him that hath the issue
00:05:25.33\00:05:28.97
shall wash his clothes,
and bathe himself in water,
00:05:29.07\00:05:32.26
and be unclean until the even.
00:05:32.36\00:05:34.18
And if he that hath the issue
spit upon him that is clean;
00:05:34.38\00:05:39.33
then he shall wash his clothes,
and bathe himself in water,
00:05:39.43\00:05:42.31
and be unclean until the even.
00:05:42.41\00:05:44.45
And what saddle soever he
rideth upon that hath the issue
00:05:44.65\00:05:49.42
shall be unclean. And whosoever
toucheth any thing that was
00:05:49.52\00:05:53.12
under him shall be
unclean until the even:
00:05:53.22\00:05:55.41
and he that beareth any of those
things shall wash his clothes,
00:05:55.61\00:05:58.83
and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the even.
00:05:58.93\00:06:02.13
And whosoever he toucheth that
hath the issue, and hath not
00:06:02.33\00:06:06.02
rinsed his hands in water,
he shall wash his clothes,
00:06:06.12\00:06:09.33
and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the even.
00:06:09.43\00:06:12.68
And the vessel of earth, that he
toucheth which hath the issue,
00:06:12.88\00:06:17.03
shall be broken: and
every vessel of wood shall be
00:06:17.13\00:06:20.17
rinsed in water. And when he
that hath the issue is cleansed
00:06:20.28\00:06:24.16
of his issue; then he shall
number to himself seven days
00:06:24.26\00:06:28.27
for his cleansing, and wash
his clothes, and bathe his flesh
00:06:28.37\00:06:31.80
in running water,
and shall be clean.
00:06:31.90\00:06:34.19
And on the eighth day he shall
take to him two turtledoves,
00:06:34.39\00:06:38.41
or two young pigeons,
and come before the Lord
00:06:38.51\00:06:41.33
unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation,
00:06:41.43\00:06:43.99
and give them unto the priest:
00:06:44.10\00:06:46.20
And the priest shall offer them,
the one for a sin offering,
00:06:46.40\00:06:50.38
the other for a burnt offering:
and the priest shall make an
00:06:50.48\00:06:53.95
atonement for him
before the Lord for his issue.
00:06:54.05\00:06:56.60
And if any man's seed of
copulation go out from him,
00:06:56.80\00:07:00.91
then he shall wash all his
flesh in water, and be unclean
00:07:01.01\00:07:04.44
until the even. And
every garment, and every skin,
00:07:04.54\00:07:07.68
whereon is the seed of
copulation, shall be washed
00:07:07.78\00:07:10.26
with water, and be
unclean until the even.
00:07:10.36\00:07:12.99
The woman also
with whom man shall lie
00:07:13.19\00:07:16.00
with seed of copulation,
they shall both bathe themselves
00:07:16.10\00:07:18.60
in water, and be
unclean until the even.
00:07:18.70\00:07:21.48
And if a woman have an issue,
and her issue in her flesh
00:07:21.68\00:07:25.41
be blood, she shall be put
apart seven days: and whosoever
00:07:25.51\00:07:29.17
toucheth her shall be
unclean until the even.
00:07:29.27\00:07:31.41
And every thing that she
lieth upon in her separation
00:07:31.61\00:07:35.59
shall be unclean: every
thing also that she sitteth upon
00:07:35.70\00:07:39.08
shall be unclean. And
whosoever toucheth her bed
00:07:39.18\00:07:42.47
shall wash his clothes,
and bathe himself in water,
00:07:42.57\00:07:44.93
and be unclean until the even.
00:07:45.03\00:07:46.64
And whosoever toucheth any thing
that she sat upon shall wash
00:07:46.67\00:07:50.08
his clothes, and bathe
himself in water, and be unclean
00:07:50.18\00:07:53.18
until the even. And
if it be on her bed,
00:07:53.28\00:07:56.35
or on any thing whereon she
sitteth, when he toucheth it,
00:07:56.45\00:07:59.56
he shall be
unclean until the even.
00:07:59.66\00:08:01.64
And if any man
lie with her at all,
00:08:01.84\00:08:04.43
and her flowers be upon him,
00:08:04.53\00:08:06.29
he shall be unclean seven days,
and all the bed whereon he lieth
00:08:06.39\00:08:10.14
shall be unclean. And if a
woman have an issue of her blood
00:08:10.24\00:08:13.67
many days out of the
time of her separation,
00:08:13.77\00:08:16.08
or if it run beyond
the time of her separation;
00:08:16.18\00:08:19.36
all the days of the issue of
her uncleanness shall be as the
00:08:19.46\00:08:23.29
days of her separation:
she shall be unclean.
00:08:23.39\00:08:26.36
Every bed whereon she
lieth all the days of her issue
00:08:26.56\00:08:30.15
shall be unto her as
the bed of her separation:
00:08:30.25\00:08:32.71
and whatsoever she
sitteth upon shall be unclean,
00:08:32.81\00:08:35.76
as the
uncleanness of her separation.
00:08:35.86\00:08:38.28
And whosoever toucheth
those things shall be unclean,
00:08:38.49\00:08:41.86
and shall wash his clothes,
and bathe himself in water,
00:08:41.96\00:08:44.46
and be unclean until the even.
00:08:44.56\00:08:45.96
But if she be cleansed of
her issue, then she shall number
00:08:46.06\00:08:50.07
to herself seven days, and
after that she shall be clean.
00:08:50.17\00:08:54.17
And on the eighth day she
shall take unto her two turtles,
00:08:54.37\00:08:58.69
or two young pigeons, and
bring them unto the priest,
00:08:58.79\00:09:01.93
to the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
00:09:02.03\00:09:04.55
And the priest shall offer
the one for a sin offering,
00:09:04.75\00:09:07.69
and the other
for a burnt offering;
00:09:07.79\00:09:09.51
and the priest shall
make an atonement for her
00:09:09.61\00:09:11.54
before the Lord for the
issue of her uncleanness.
00:09:11.64\00:09:14.51
Thus shall ye separate the
children of Israel from their
00:09:14.71\00:09:17.87
uncleanness; that they
die not in their uncleanness,
00:09:17.97\00:09:21.58
when they defile my
tabernacle that is among them.
00:09:21.68\00:09:24.22
This is the law of him
that hath an issue and of him
00:09:24.42\00:09:27.57
whose seed goeth from
him, and is defiled therewith;
00:09:27.68\00:09:30.34
And of her that is
sick of her flowers,
00:09:30.54\00:09:32.24
and of him that hath an issue,
00:09:32.34\00:09:33.58
of the man, and of the woman,
and of him that lieth with her
00:09:33.68\00:09:37.28
that is unclean.
00:09:37.38\00:09:38.72
We are continuing now
with Leviticus in chapter 16.
00:09:38.92\00:09:43.03
This is the King James version.
00:09:43.13\00:09:44.76
And the Lord spake unto Moses
after the death of the two sons
00:09:44.96\00:09:49.48
of Aaron, when they offered
before the Lord, and died;
00:09:49.58\00:09:52.77
And the Lord said unto Moses,
speak unto Aaron thy brother,
00:09:52.97\00:09:55.78
that he come not at all
times into the holy place
00:09:55.88\00:09:58.51
within the veil
before the mercy seat,
00:09:58.62\00:10:00.26
which is upon the
ark; that he die not:
00:10:00.36\00:10:02.26
for I will appear in the
cloud upon the mercy seat.
00:10:02.36\00:10:05.76
Thus shall Aaron
come into the holy place:
00:10:05.96\00:10:08.58
with a young
bullock for a sin offering,
00:10:08.68\00:10:11.14
and a ram for a burnt offering.
00:10:11.24\00:10:12.86
He shall put on the holy linen
coat, and he shall have the
00:10:13.06\00:10:16.24
linen breeches upon his flesh,
and shall be girded with a linen
00:10:16.34\00:10:19.33
girdle, and with the
linen mitre shall he be attired:
00:10:19.43\00:10:22.56
these are holy garments;
therefore shall he wash his
00:10:22.76\00:10:26.18
flesh in water,
and so put them on.
00:10:26.28\00:10:28.16
And he shall take of the
congregation of the children
00:10:28.36\00:10:31.12
of Israel two kids of
the goats for a sin offering,
00:10:31.22\00:10:33.97
and one ram for
a burnt offering.
00:10:34.07\00:10:36.36
And Aaron shall offer his
bullock of the sin offering,
00:10:36.56\00:10:39.82
which is for himself, and
make an atonement for himself,
00:10:39.93\00:10:42.75
and for his house. And
he shall take the two goats,
00:10:42.85\00:10:46.46
and present them before the Lord
at the door of the tabernacle
00:10:46.56\00:10:48.99
of the congregation. And Aaron
shall cast lots upon the two
00:10:49.09\00:10:52.74
goats; one lot for the Lord, and
the other lot for the scapegoat.
00:10:52.85\00:10:57.85
And Aaron shall bring the goat
upon which the Lord's lot fell,
00:10:58.05\00:11:02.05
and offer him
for a sin offering.
00:11:02.15\00:11:05.44
But the goat, on which the
lot fell to be the scapegoat,
00:11:05.64\00:11:09.09
shall be presented
alive before the Lord,
00:11:09.19\00:11:12.30
to make an atonement
with him, and to let him go
00:11:12.40\00:11:14.95
for a scapegoat
into the wilderness.
00:11:15.05\00:11:16.82
And Aaron shall bring the
bullock of the sin offering,
00:11:17.02\00:11:19.99
which is for himself, and shall
make an atonement for himself,
00:11:20.09\00:11:23.46
and for his house, and shall
kill the bullock of the sin
00:11:23.56\00:11:26.47
offering which is for himself:
And he shall take a censer
00:11:26.58\00:11:30.00
full of burning coals
of fire from off the altar
00:11:30.10\00:11:32.94
before the Lord, and his hands
full of sweet incense beaten
00:11:33.04\00:11:36.63
small, and bring
it within the veil:
00:11:36.73\00:11:39.93
And he shall put the incense
upon the fire before the Lord,
00:11:40.14\00:11:43.35
that the cloud of the
incense may cover the mercy seat
00:11:43.45\00:11:47.21
that is upon the
testimony, that he die not:
00:11:47.31\00:11:49.94
And he shall take of the blood
of the bullock, and sprinkle it
00:11:50.14\00:11:54.12
with his finger upon
the mercy seat eastward;
00:11:54.23\00:11:56.62
and before the mercy seat shall
he sprinkle of the blood with
00:11:56.72\00:11:59.69
his finger seven times.
Then shall he kill the goat
00:11:59.79\00:12:03.17
of the sin offering, that is for
the people, and bring his blood
00:12:03.28\00:12:05.91
within the veil, and do with
that blood as he did with the
00:12:06.01\00:12:09.27
blood of the bullock, and
sprinkle it upon the mercy seat,
00:12:09.37\00:12:11.81
and before the mercy seat:
And he shall make an atonement
00:12:11.91\00:12:15.27
for the holy place, because of
the uncleanness of the children
00:12:15.37\00:12:17.71
of Israel, and because of their
transgressions in all their
00:12:17.82\00:12:19.93
sins: and so shall he do for the
tabernacle of the congregation,
00:12:20.03\00:12:24.02
that remaineth among them in
the midst of their uncleanness.
00:12:24.12\00:12:27.30
And there shall be no man in the
tabernacle of the congregation
00:12:27.50\00:12:30.70
when he goeth in to make an
atonement in the holy place,
00:12:30.80\00:12:33.40
until he come out; and have
made an atonement for himself,
00:12:33.50\00:12:36.92
and for his household, and for
all the congregation of Israel.
00:12:37.02\00:12:40.26
And he shall go out unto the
altar that is before the Lord,
00:12:40.46\00:12:43.50
and make an atonement for
it; and shall take of the blood
00:12:43.61\00:12:46.46
of the bullock, and
of the blood of the goat,
00:12:46.56\00:12:48.57
and put it upon the
horns of the altar round about.
00:12:48.67\00:12:50.85
And he shall sprinkle of the
blood upon it with his finger
00:12:51.05\00:12:54.04
seven times, and cleanse
it, and hallow it from the
00:12:54.15\00:12:57.65
uncleanness of the
children of Israel.
00:12:57.75\00:12:59.84
And when he hath made an end
of reconciling the holy place,
00:13:00.04\00:13:03.08
and the tabernacle of the
congregation, and the altar,
00:13:03.18\00:13:05.49
he shall bring the live goat:
00:13:05.59\00:13:08.01
And Aaron shall lay both
his hands upon the head of the
00:13:08.11\00:13:10.44
live goat, and confess over
him all the iniquities of the
00:13:10.54\00:13:14.38
children of Israel, and
all their transgressions in all
00:13:14.48\00:13:17.38
their sins, putting them
upon the head of the goat,
00:13:17.48\00:13:20.47
and shall send him away
by the hand of a fit man
00:13:20.57\00:13:24.43
into the wilderness: And
the goat shall bear upon him
00:13:24.53\00:13:28.15
all their iniquities
unto a land not inhabited:
00:13:28.25\00:13:31.45
and he shall let the
goat go in the wilderness.
00:13:31.55\00:13:34.61
And Aaron shall come into the
tabernacle of the congregation,
00:13:34.81\00:13:38.75
and shall put off the linen
garments, which he put on when
00:13:38.85\00:13:41.23
he went into the holy place,
and shall leave them there:
00:13:41.36\00:13:43.46
And he shall wash his flesh
with water in the holy place,
00:13:43.57\00:13:46.36
and put on his
garments, and come forth,
00:13:46.46\00:13:48.58
and offer his burnt offering,
and the burnt offering of the
00:13:48.68\00:13:51.32
people, and make an atonement
for himself, and for the people.
00:13:51.42\00:13:55.20
And the fat of the sin offering
shall he burn upon the altar.
00:13:55.23\00:13:58.59
And he that let go the goat for
00:13:58.79\00:14:01.42
the scapegoat shall wash his
00:14:01.52\00:14:02.61
clothes, and bathe his flesh
00:14:02.71\00:14:04.12
in water, and
afterward come into the camp.
00:14:04.22\00:14:05.97
And the bullock
for the sin offering,
00:14:06.17\00:14:07.83
and the goat for
the sin offering,
00:14:07.93\00:14:09.09
whose blood was brought in to
make atonement in the holy place
00:14:09.19\00:14:11.69
shall one carry forth without
the camp; and they shall burn
00:14:11.80\00:14:15.40
in the fire their skins,
and their flesh, and their dung.
00:14:15.50\00:14:18.40
And he that burneth
them shall wash his clothes,
00:14:18.60\00:14:20.96
and bathe his flesh in water,
00:14:21.06\00:14:22.37
and afterward he
shall come into the camp.
00:14:22.47\00:14:24.93
And this shall be a
statute for ever unto you:
00:14:25.13\00:14:27.82
that in the seventh month,
on the tenth day of the month,
00:14:27.92\00:14:30.91
ye shall afflict your
souls, and do no work at all,
00:14:31.01\00:14:33.74
whether it be one
of your own country,
00:14:33.84\00:14:35.61
or a stranger that
sojourneth among you:
00:14:35.71\00:14:38.08
Please join me
next time. Goodbye.
