Amen. 00:00:51.11\00:00:54.53 We are reading in the book of Leviticus in chapter 16. 00:00:54.83\00:00:59.61 We have been reading about the sanctuary that Moses 00:00:59.71\00:01:02.50 and the Israelites prepared, and the different sacrifices 00:01:02.60\00:01:06.07 and offerings they would bring. 00:01:06.17\00:01:07.20 And we are picking up in the 16th chapter verse 30. 00:01:07.31\00:01:11.07 And this is the King James version. 00:01:11.27\00:01:12.92 For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you: 00:01:13.12\00:01:17.18 to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins 00:01:17.28\00:01:20.43 before the Lord. It shall be a Sabbath of rest 00:01:20.53\00:01:23.30 unto you, and you shall afflict your souls, 00:01:23.40\00:01:25.17 by a statute for ever. 00:01:25.27\00:01:26.75 And the priest, whom he shall anoint, 00:01:26.95\00:01:28.80 and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest's 00:01:28.91\00:01:31.75 office in his father's stead, shall make the atonement, 00:01:31.85\00:01:34.45 and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments: 00:01:34.55\00:01:36.97 And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, 00:01:37.17\00:01:39.85 and he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the 00:01:39.95\00:01:41.95 congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement 00:01:42.05\00:01:45.29 for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation. 00:01:45.39\00:01:47.88 And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, 00:01:48.08\00:01:51.08 to make an atonement for the children of Israel 00:01:51.18\00:01:53.39 for all their sins once a year. 00:01:53.49\00:01:55.46 And he did as the Lord commanded Moses. 00:01:55.66\00:01:58.73 We are continuing now in Leviticus in chapter 17. 00:01:59.56\00:02:02.53 And this is the King James version. 00:02:02.73\00:02:04.18 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 00:02:04.38\00:02:06.96 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, 00:02:07.06\00:02:08.95 and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them: 00:02:09.06\00:02:11.97 This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, saying, 00:02:12.17\00:02:15.00 What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an 00:02:15.10\00:02:18.75 ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, 00:02:18.85\00:02:22.00 or that killeth it out of the camp, 00:02:22.10\00:02:24.34 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle 00:02:24.44\00:02:26.70 of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the Lord 00:02:26.80\00:02:29.73 before the tabernacle of the Lord; blood shall be imputed 00:02:29.84\00:02:33.18 unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be 00:02:33.28\00:02:37.10 cut off from among his people; 00:02:37.20\00:02:38.41 To the end that the children of Israel may bring their 00:02:38.61\00:02:41.67 sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, 00:02:41.77\00:02:44.17 even that they may bring them unto the Lord, 00:02:44.27\00:02:46.99 unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 00:02:47.09\00:02:49.75 unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings 00:02:49.86\00:02:52.38 unto the Lord. And the priest shall sprinkle the blood 00:02:52.48\00:02:55.60 upon the altar of the Lord at the door of the tabernacle 00:02:55.70\00:02:58.03 of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savor 00:02:58.13\00:03:02.12 unto the Lord, And they shall no more offer their sacrifices 00:03:02.22\00:03:06.32 unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. 00:03:06.42\00:03:09.45 This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their 00:03:09.55\00:03:12.48 generations. And thou shalt say unto them, 00:03:12.58\00:03:15.39 Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, 00:03:15.49\00:03:17.59 or of the strangers which sojourn among you, 00:03:17.69\00:03:20.13 that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice, 00:03:20.23\00:03:22.51 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle 00:03:22.71\00:03:25.15 of the congregation, to offer it unto the Lord; 00:03:25.25\00:03:27.19 even that man shall be cut off from among his people. 00:03:27.29\00:03:30.62 And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, 00:03:30.83\00:03:33.75 or of the strangers that sojourn among you, 00:03:33.85\00:03:35.99 that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against 00:03:36.09\00:03:40.09 that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off 00:03:40.19\00:03:42.53 from among his people. 00:03:42.63\00:03:43.71 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: 00:03:43.91\00:03:47.27 and I have give it to you upon the altar 00:03:47.37\00:03:49.36 to make an atonement for your souls: 00:03:49.46\00:03:51.32 for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. 00:03:51.42\00:03:54.88 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, 00:03:55.08\00:03:57.63 No soul of you shall eat blood, 00:03:57.73\00:03:59.67 neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. 00:03:59.77\00:04:03.14 And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, 00:04:03.17\00:04:06.96 or of the strangers that sojourn among you, 00:04:07.06\00:04:09.08 which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; 00:04:09.19\00:04:13.52 he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. 00:04:13.62\00:04:17.06 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the 00:04:17.26\00:04:20.93 life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, 00:04:21.03\00:04:23.99 You shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: 00:04:24.10\00:04:26.32 for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof; 00:04:26.42\00:04:29.05 whosoever eateth it shall be cut off. 00:04:29.15\00:04:31.37 And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, 00:04:31.67\00:04:34.91 or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be 00:04:35.02\00:04:36.96 one of your own country, or a stranger, 00:04:37.06\00:04:38.96 he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, 00:04:39.06\00:04:42.13 and be unclean until the even: and then shall be clean. 00:04:42.23\00:04:46.24 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; 00:04:46.44\00:04:49.54 then he shall bear his iniquity. 00:04:49.65\00:04:51.69 We're in Leviticus 00:04:51.89\00:04:53.34 in chapter 18. 00:04:53.44\00:04:54.62 And this is the King James version. 00:04:54.72\00:04:56.30 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 00:04:56.50\00:04:59.35 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, 00:04:59.55\00:05:02.04 I am the Lord your God. 00:05:02.14\00:05:04.38 After the doings of the land of Egypt wherein ye dwelt, 00:05:04.58\00:05:08.13 shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, 00:05:08.23\00:05:12.85 whither I bring you, shall ye not do: 00:05:12.95\00:05:15.94 neither shall ye walk in their ordinances. 00:05:16.05\00:05:18.90 Ye shall do My judgments, and keep Mine ordinances, 00:05:19.10\00:05:22.85 to walk therein: I am the Lord your God. 00:05:22.95\00:05:27.09 Ye shall therefore keep My statutes, and My judgments: 00:05:27.29\00:05:31.16 which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the Lord. 00:05:31.26\00:05:36.88 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, 00:05:37.08\00:05:42.27 to uncover their nakedness: I am the Lord. 00:05:42.37\00:05:45.39 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, 00:05:45.59\00:05:49.29 shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother;

00:07:05.17\00:07:08.08 for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness. 00:07:08.18\00:07:10.97 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, 00:07:11.17\00:07:14.97 to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time. 00:07:15.07\00:07:18.24 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her 00:07:18.44\00:07:22.28 nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness. 00:07:22.38\00:07:25.37 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbor's 00:07:25.58\00:07:29.10 wife, to defile thyself with her. 00:07:29.20\00:07:31.32 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire 00:07:31.52\00:07:34.94 to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: 00:07:35.04\00:07:38.67 I am the Lord. 00:07:38.77\00:07:40.26 Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind: 00:07:40.46\00:07:43.81 it is abomination. 00:07:43.91\00:07:45.17 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself 00:07:45.20\00:07:48.70 therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast 00:07:48.80\00:07:52.49 to lie down thereto: it is confusion. 00:07:52.59\00:07:55.03 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: 00:07:55.23\00:07:58.76 for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out 00:07:58.86\00:08:03.77 before you: And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit 00:08:03.88\00:08:07.85 the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth 00:08:07.95\00:08:10.63 out her inhabitants. 00:08:10.73\00:08:11.93 You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, 00:08:12.13\00:08:14.95 and shall not commit any of these abominations; 00:08:15.05\00:08:17.30 neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that 00:08:17.40\00:08:20.07 sojourneth among you: (For all these abominations 00:08:20.17\00:08:23.61 have the men of the land done, which were before you, 00:08:23.71\00:08:26.14 and the land is defiled;) 00:08:26.24\00:08:27.92 That the land spew not you out also, when ye defile it, 00:08:28.12\00:08:32.70 as it spewed out the nations that were before you. 00:08:32.80\00:08:35.21 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, 00:08:35.41\00:08:38.75 even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among 00:08:38.85\00:08:42.50 their people. Therefore shall ye keep Mine ordinance, 00:08:42.60\00:08:46.09 that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, 00:08:46.19\00:08:49.54 which were committed before you, and that ye defile not 00:08:49.64\00:08:52.43 yourselves therein: I am the Lord your God. 00:08:52.54\00:08:56.95 Continuing on with Leviticus 00:08:57.80\00:08:59.15 in chapter 19. 00:08:59.25\00:09:00.34 This is the King James version. 00:09:00.44\00:09:01.68 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 00:09:01.88\00:09:05.15 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and 00:09:05.35\00:09:07.67 say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy. 00:09:07.78\00:09:13.19 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, 00:09:13.39\00:09:16.49 and keep My Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God. 00:09:16.59\00:09:19.22 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: 00:09:19.42\00:09:23.89 I am the Lord your God. 00:09:23.99\00:09:26.56 And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the Lord, 00:09:26.76\00:09:30.04 ye shall offer it at your own will. 00:09:30.14\00:09:32.96 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the morrow: 00:09:33.16\00:09:36.72 and if aught remain until the third day, it shall be burnt 00:09:36.82\00:09:39.38 in the fire.
