discharge is ceremonially unclean. 00:00:16.201 --> 00:00:18.781 This defilement is caused by his discharge. 00:00:19.081 --> 00:00:24.061 Whether the discharge continues or stops, in either case, the man is unclean. 00:00:25.066 --> 00:00:29.866 Any bed on which the man with the discharge lies and anything on which 00:00:29.866 --> 00:00:32.416 he sits will be ceremonially unclean. 00:00:33.106 --> 00:00:37.066 So if you touch the man's bed, you must wash your clothes and bathe 00:00:37.066 --> 00:00:40.816 yourself in water, and you'll remain unclean until evening. 00:00:41.596 --> 00:00:45.556 If you sit where the man with the discharge has sat, you must wash your 00:00:45.556 --> 00:00:50.566 clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you'll remain unclean until evening. 00:00:51.661 --> 00:00:55.501 If you touch the man with the discharge, you must wash your clothes 00:00:55.621 --> 00:00:59.641 and bathe yourself in water and you'll remain unclean until evening. 00:01:00.781 --> 00:01:05.191 If the man spits on you, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in 00:01:05.191 --> 00:01:10.861 water and you will remain unclean until evening, any saddle

evening. 00:01:19.861 --> 00:01:23.251 You must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water and you 00:01:23.251 --> 00:01:25.111 will remain unclean until evening. 00:01:26.191 --> 00:01:30.721 If the man touches you without first rinsing his hands, you must wash 00:01:30.721 --> 00:01:34.891 your clothes and bathe yourself in water and you will remain unclean. 00:01:34.891 --> 00:01:39.811 Until evening, any clay pot the man touches must be broken, and 00:01:39.811 --> 00:01:43.021 any wooden utensil he touches must be rinsed with water. 00:01:44.881 --> 00:01:48.541 When the man with the discharge is healed, he must count off seven 00:01:48.541 --> 00:01:50.881 days for the period of purification. 00:01:51.631 --> 00:01:56.221 Then he must wash his clothes and bathe himself in fresh water, and he will be 00:01:56.226 --> 00:01:59.491 ceremonially clean on the eighth day. 00:01:59.671 --> 00:02:03.901 He must get two turtle doves or two young pigeons and come before the 00:02:03.901 --> 00:02:07.951 Lord at the entrance of the tabernacle and give his offerings to the priest. 00:02:08.941 --> 00:02:12.001 The priest will offer one bird for a sin offering and the 00:02:12.001 --> 00:02:13.291 other for a burnt offering. 00:02:13.981 --> 00:02:17.401 Through this process, the priest will purify the man before 00:02:17.406 --> 00:02:19.231 the Lord for his discharge. 00:02:20.881 --> 00:02:25.531 Whenever a man has any mission of semen, he must bathe his entire body in 00:02:25.531 --> 00:02:30.291 water and he will remain ceremonially unclean until the next evening. 00:02:31.411 --> 00:02:35.011 Any clothing or leather with semen on, it must be washed in 00:02:35.011 --> 00:02:37.411 water and it will remain unclean. 00:02:37.411 --> 00:02:43.561 Until evening after a man and a woman have sexual intercourse, they must each bathe 00:02:43.566 --> 00:02:49.921 in water and they will remain unclean until the next evening, whenever a woman 00:02:49.921 --> 00:02:54.541 has her menstrual period, she will be ceremonially unclean for seven days. 00:02:55.351 --> 00:02:59.341 Anyone who touches her during that time will be unclean until evening. 00:03:00.151 --> 00:03:03.361 Anything on which the woman lies or sits during the time 00:03:03.361 --> 00:03:05.281 of her period will be unclean. 00:03:06.031 --> 00:03:10.921 If any of you touch her bed, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water 00:03:11.341 --> 00:03:13.651 and you'll remain unclean until evening. 00:03:14.821 --> 00:03:19.171 If you touch any object she has sat on, you must wash your clothes 00:03:19.261 --> 00:03:23.551 and bathe yourself in water and you will remain unclean until evening. 00:03:24.331 --> 00:03:28.081 This includes her bed or any other object she has sat on. 00:03:29.131 --> 00:03:32.041 You will be unclean until evening if you touch it. 00:03:33.331 --> 00:03:38.521 If a man has sexual intercourse with her and her blood touches him, her menstrual 00:03:38.521 --> 00:03:40.651 impurity will be transmitted to him. 00:03:41.041 --> 00:03:47.251 He will remain unclean for seven days and any bed on which he lies will be unclean. 00:03:48.751 --> 00:03:52.651 If a woman has a flow of blood for many days, that is unrelated 00:03:52.651 --> 00:03:53.851 to her menstrual period. 00:03:54.466 --> 00:03:59.056 Or if the blood continues beyond the normal period, she is ceremonially 00:03:59.146 --> 00:04:02.506 unclean as during her menstrual period. 00:04:02.746 --> 00:04:06.316 The woman will be unclean as long as the discharge continues. 00:04:07.156 --> 00:04:11.386 Any bed she lies on and any object she sits on during that time 00:04:11.566 --> 00:04:15.556 will be unclean just as during her normal menstrual period. 00:04:16.486 --> 00:04:20.116 If any of you touch these things, you'll be ceremonially unclean. 00:04:20.836 --> 00:04:23.836 You must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water. 00:04:24.481 --> 00:04:26.641 And you will remain unclean until evening. 00:04:27.961 --> 00:04:31.561 When the woman's bleeding stops, she must count off seven days. 00:04:32.191 --> 00:04:36.571 Then she will be ceremonially clean on the eighth day. 00:04:36.811 --> 00:04:40.711 She must bring two turtle doves or two young pigeons and 00:04:40.711 --> 00:04:42.001 present them to the priest. 00:04:42.001 --> 00:04:46.201 At the entrance of the tabernacle, the priest will offer one for a 00:04:46.201 --> 00:04:50.581 sin offering and the other for a burnt offering through this process. 00:04:50.896 --> 00:04:54.766 The priest will purify her before the Lord for the ceremonial 00:04:54.766 --> 00:04:56.776 impurity caused by her bleeding. 00:04:58.456 --> 00:05:02.776 This is how you will guard the people of Israel from ceremonial uncleanliness. 00:05:03.496 --> 00:05:09.496 Otherwise, they would die for their impurity, would defile my tabernacle. 00:05:09.586 --> 00:05:10.786 That stands among them. 00:05:11.746 --> 00:05:15.676 These are the instructions for dealing with anyone who has a bodily discharge. 00:05:16.336 --> 00:05:20.836 A man who is unclean because of an omission of semen or a woman 00:05:20.926 --> 00:05:22.186 during her menstrual period. 00:05:22.996 --> 00:05:28.156 It applies to any man or woman who has a bodily discharge, and to a man 00:05:28.156 --> 00:05:32.116 who has sexual intercourse with a woman who is ceremonially unclean. 00:05:32.496 --> 00:05:32.716 The 00:05:34.996 --> 00:05:40.396 Lord spoke to Moses after the death of Aaron's two sons who died after they 00:05:40.396 --> 00:05:44.206 entered the Lord's presence and burned the wrong kind of fire before him. 00:05:45.286 --> 00:05:49.816 The Lord said to Moses, warn your brother Aaron not to enter the 00:05:49.816 --> 00:05:53.566 most holy place behind the inner curtain whenever he chooses. 00:05:54.286 --> 00:05:58.906 If he does, he will die for the Arks cover. 00:05:59.236 --> 00:06:03.856 The place of atonement is there, and I myself am present in the 00:06:03.856 --> 00:06:05.656 cloud above the atonement cover. 00:06:07.126 --> 00:06:11.956 When Aaron enters the sanctuary area, he must follow these instructions fully. 00:06:13.321 --> 00:06:17.971 He must bring a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering. 00:06:18.661 --> 00:06:23.431 He must put on his linen tunic and the linen undergarments worn next to his body. 00:06:24.211 --> 00:06:27.631 He must tie the linen sash around his waist and put the 00:06:27.631 --> 00:06:29.041 linen turban on his head. 00:06:29.941 --> 00:06:33.091 These are sacred garments, so he must bathe himself in 00:06:33.091 --> 00:06:34.861 water before he puts them on. 00:06:35.791 --> 00:06:40.171 Aaron must take from the community of Israel, two male goats for a sin 00:06:40.171 --> 00:06:42.811 offering and a ram for a burnt offering. 00:06:44.011 --> 00:06:48.391 Aaron will present his own bull as a sin offering to purify himself and his 00:06:48.391 --> 00:06:50.911 family, making them right with the Lord. 00:06:51.721 --> 00:06:55.381 Then he must take the two male goats and present them to the Lord. 00:06:55.381 --> 00:07:00.241 At the entrance of the tabernacle, he is to cast sacred lots to 00:07:00.241 --> 00:07:03.511 determine which goat will be reserved as an offering to the Lord. 00:07:03.826 --> 00:07:07.906 And which will carry the sins of the people to the wilderness of Azazel. 00:07:09.106 --> 00:07:13.936 Aaron will then present as a sin, offering the goat chosen by lot for the Lord. 00:07:14.656 --> 00:07:15.436 The other goat. 00:07:16.066 --> 00:07:21.976 The scapegoat chosen by lot to be sent away will be kept alive standing before 00:07:21.981 --> 00:07:27.676 the Lord when it is sent away to Azazel in the wilderness, the people will be 00:07:27.676 --> 00:07:30.256 purified and made right with the Lord. 00:07:32.026 --> 00:07:36.886 Aaron will present his own bull as a sin offering to purify himself and his 00:07:36.886 --> 00:07:39.316 family, making them right with the Lord. 00:07:40.396 --> 00:07:44.416 After he has slaughtered the bull as a sin offering, he will fill an incense 00:07:44.416 --> 00:07:47.986 burner with burning coals from the altar that stands before the Lord. 00:07:48.856 --> 00:07:54.256 Then he will take two handfuls of fragrant powdered incense and will carry the burner 00:07:54.376 --> 00:07:57.166 and the incense behind the inner curtain. 00:07:58.276 --> 00:08:03.946 There in the Lord's presence, he will put the incense on the burning coals so 00:08:03.946 --> 00:08:06.046 that a cloud of incense will rise over. 00:08:06.051 --> 00:08:11.746 The ark's cover the place of atonement that rests on the Ark of the Covenant. 00:08:12.946 --> 00:08:15.976 If he follows these instructions, he will not die. 00:08:16.776 --> 00:08:20.206 Then he must take some of the blood of the bull, dip his finger 00:08:20.206 --> 00:08:23.716 in it, and sprinkle it on the east side of the atonement cover. 00:08:24.316 --> 00:08:27.706 He must sprinkle blood seven times with his finger in 00:08:27.706 --> 00:08:29.116 front of the atonement cover. 00:08:30.286 --> 00:08:35.626 Then Aaron must slaughter the first goat as a sin offering for the people and 00:08:35.626 --> 00:08:37.726 carry its blood behind the inner curtain. 00:08:38.506 --> 00:08:42.796 There he will sprinkle the goat's blood over the atonement cover and in front of 00:08:42.796 --> 00:08:45.376 it, just as he did with the bull's blood. 00:08:46.216 --> 00:08:50.866 Through this process, he will purify the most holy place and he will do 00:08:50.866 --> 00:08:52.816 the same for the entire tabernacle. 00:08:53.386 --> 00:08:58.846 Because of the defiling sin and rebellion of the Israelites, no one 00:08:58.846 --> 00:09:01.426 else is allowed inside the tabernacle. 00:09:01.546 --> 00:09:07.066 When Aaron enters it for the purification ceremony in the most holy place, no 00:09:07.066 --> 00:09:11.086 one may enter until he comes out at again at after pur purifying himself, 00:09:11.446 --> 00:09:16.576 his family, and all the congregation of Israel, making them right with the Lord. 00:09:18.196 --> 00:09:22.546 Then Aaron will come out to purify the altar that stands before the Lord. 00:09:23.296 --> 00:09:26.746 He will do this by taking some of the blood from the bull 00:09:26.896 --> 00:09:30.556 and the goat and putting it on each of the horns of the altar. 00:09:31.426 --> 00:09:35.146 Then he must sprinkle the blood with his finger seven times over the altar. 00:09:35.716 --> 00:09:41.056 In this way, he will cleanse it from Israel's defilement and make it holy. 00:09:42.586 --> 00:09:46.816 When Aaron has finished purifying the most holy place and the tabernacle and 00:09:46.816 --> 00:09:50.116 the altar, he must present the live goat. 00:09:51.031 --> 00:09:54.721 He will lay both of his hands on the goat's head and confess over 00:09:54.721 --> 00:09:59.581 it all the wickedness, rebellion, and sins of the people of Israel. 00:10:00.361 --> 00:10:04.591 In this way, he will transfer the people's sins to the head of the goat. 00:10:05.521 --> 00:10:10.471 Then a man specially chosen for the task will drive the goat into the wilderness. 00:10:11.221 --> 00:10:15.841 As the goat goes into the wilderness, it will carry all the people's sins 00:10:15.841 --> 00:10:18.391 upon itself into a desolate land. 00:10:20.041 --> 00:10:23.341 When Aaron goes back into the tabernacle, he must take off the 00:10:23.341 --> 00:10:27.271 linen garments he was wearing when he entered the most holy place, and 00:10:27.271 --> 00:10:28.831 he must leave the garments there. 00:10:29.551 --> 00:10:34.771 Then he must bathe himself with water in a sacred place, put on his regular 00:10:34.771 --> 00:10:39.481 garments, and go out to sacrifice a burnt offering for himself and 00:10:39.481 --> 00:10:40.921 a burnt offering for the people. 00:10:41.911 --> 00:10:45.721 Through this process, he will purify himself and the people 00:10:46.231 --> 00:10:47.911 making them right with the Lord. 00:10:48.451 --> 00:10:52.261 He must then burn all the fat of the sin offering on the altar. 00:10:53.941 --> 00:10:58.621 The man chosen to drive the scapegoat into the wilderness of Azazel must wash 00:10:58.626 --> 00:11:01.021 his clothes and bathe himself in water. 00:11:01.681 --> 00:11:07.531 Then he may return to the camp, the bull and the goat presented as sin offerings 00:11:07.981 --> 00:11:12.571 whose blood Aaron takes into the most holy place for the purification ceremony 00:11:12.931 --> 00:11:14.581 will be carried outside the camp. 00:11:15.451 --> 00:11:20.521 The animals hides internal organs and dung are all to be burned. 00:11:21.271 --> 00:11:26.311 The man who burns them must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water before 00:11:26.311 --> 00:11:31.621 returning to the camp on the 10th day of the appointed month in early autumn. 00:11:32.131 --> 00:11:37.981 You must deny yourselves neither native born Israelites nor foreigners living 00:11:37.981 --> 00:11:40.591 among you may do any kind of work. 00:11:41.551 --> 00:11:43.201 This is a permanent law for you. 00:11:44.086 --> 00:11:47.776 On that day, offerings of purification will be made for you 00:11:48.076 --> 00:11:52.066 and you will be purified in the Lord's presence from all your sins. 00:11:52.876 --> 00:11:57.676 It will be a Sabbath day of complete rest for you, and you must deny yourselves. 00:11:58.306 --> 00:12:00.076 This is a permanent law for you. 00:12:01.336 --> 00:12:05.656 In future generations, the purification ceremony will be performed by 00:12:05.656 --> 00:12:09.526 the priest who has been anointed and ordained to serve as high 00:12:09.526 --> 00:12:11.686 priest in place of his ancestor. 00:12:11.686 --> 00:12:12.106 Aaron. 00:12:12.541 --> 00:12:16.801 He will put on the holy linen garments and purify the most holy 00:12:16.801 --> 00:12:22.651 place, the tabernacle, the altar, the priests, and the entire congregation. 00:12:23.551 --> 00:12:28.051 This is a permanent law for you to purify the people of Israel from their 00:12:28.051 --> 00:12:30.841 sins, making them right with the Lord. 00:12:30.991 --> 00:12:35.821 Once each year, Moses followed all these instructions exactly 00:12:35.821 --> 00:12:37.231 as the Lord had commanded him. 00:12:38.686 --> 00:12:41.536 This concludes today's Immer Reading experience. 00:12:41.686 --> 00:12:42.886 Thank you for joining us.
