Malcom: Welcome to Immerse: the
Daily Bible reading Experience.
Day 100 and 25
after the ordination ceremony on the
eighth day, Moses called together Aaron
and his sons and the elders of Israel.
He said to Aaron, take a young
bull for a sin offering and a ram
for a burnt offering, both without
defects and present them to the Lord.
Then tell the Israelites, take
a male goat for a sin offering
and take a calf and a lamb.
Both a year old and without
defects for a burnt offering.
Also take a bull and a ram for a
peace offering and flour moistened
with olive oil for a grain offering.
Present all these offerings to the Lord
because the Lord will appear to you today.
So the people presented all these
things at the entrance of the
tabernacle, just as Moses had commanded.
Then the whole community came
forward and stood before the Lord.
And Moses said, this is what the Lord
has commanded you to do, so that the
glory of the Lord may appear to you.
Then Moses said to Aaron, come to
the altar and sacrifice your SIN
offering and your burnt offering
to purify yourself and the people.
Then present the offerings of the
people to purify them, making them right
with the Lord just as he commanded.
So Aaron went to the altar and slaughtered
the calf as a sin offering for himself.
His sons brought him the blood
and he dipped his finger in it and
put it on the horns of the altar.
He poured out the rest of the
blood at the base of the altar.
Then he burned on the altar, the fat, the
kidneys, and the long lobe of the liver
from the sin offering, just as the Lord
had commanded Moses, the meat and the
hide, however he burned outside the camp.
Next, Aaron slaughtered the
animal for the burnt offering.
His sons brought him the
blood and he splattered it
against all sides of the altar.
Then they handed him each piece of
the burnt offering, including the
head, and he burned them on the altar.
Then he washed the internal organs and
the legs and burned them on the altar
along with the rest of the burnt offering.
Next, Aaron presented the
offerings of the people.
He slaughtered the people's goat
and presented it as an offering for
their sin, just as he had first done
with the offering for his own sin.
Then he presented the burnt offering
and sacrificed it in the prescribed way.
He also presented the grain offering,
burning a handful of the flour mixture
on the altar in addition to the
regular burnt offering for the morning.
Then Aaron slaughtered the bull and the
RAM for the people's peace offering.
His sons brought him the
blood and he splattered it
against all sides of the altar.
Then he took the fat of the bull and
the ram, the fat of the broad tail,
and from around the internal organs,
along with the kidneys and the long
lobes of the livers, he placed these fat
portions on top of the breasts of these
animals and burned them on the altar.
Aaron then lifted up the breasts and
right thighs as a special offering to
the Lord, just as Moses had commanded.
After that, Aaron raised his hands
toward the people and blessed them.
Then after presenting the sin offering,
the burnt offering and the peace
offering, he stepped down from the altar.
Then Moses and Aaron went into
the tabernacle, and when they came
back out, they blessed the people
again, and the glory of the Lord
appeared to the whole community.
Fire blazed forth from the Lord's
presence and consumed the burnt
offering and the fat on the altar.
When the people saw this, they shouted
with joy and fell face down on the ground.
Aaron's sons Naab and Bai Hu put
coals of fire in their incense burners
and sprinkled incense over them.
In this way, they disobeyed the Lord.
By burning before him, the wrong kind of
fire, different than he had commanded.
So fire blazed forth from the Lord's
presence and burned them up and
they died there before the Lord.
Then Moses said to Aaron, this is what the
Lord meant when he said, I will display my
holiness through those who come near me.
I will display my glory
before all the people.
And Aaron was silent.
Then Moses called for Helel,
an EZ fan, Aaron's cousins, the
Sons of Aaron's, uncle Zeel.
He said to them, come forward
and carry away the bodies of your
relatives from in front of the
sanctuary to a place outside the camp.
So they came forward and picked them up
by their garments and carried them out
of the camp just as Moses had commanded.
Then Moses said to Aaron
and his sons, zer and Imar.
Do not show grief by leaving your hair
combed or by tearing your clothes.
If you do, you will die and
the Lord's anger will strike
the whole community of Israel.
However, the rest of the Israelites,
your relatives may mourn because
of the Lord's fiery destruction of
Nadab and AB Bayou, but you must not
leave the entrance of the tabernacle
or you will die for you have been
anointed with the Lord's anointing oil.
So they did as Moses commanded.
Then the Lord said to Aaron, you and
your descendants must never drink
wine or any other alcoholic drink
before going into the tabernacle.
If you do, you will die.
This is a permanent law for
you, and it must be observed
from generation to generation.
You must distinguish between what is
sacred and what is common between what is
ceremonially unclean and what is clean.
And you must teach the Israelites
all the decrees that the Lord
has given them through Moses.
Then Moses said to Aaron and his remaining
sons, ezer and eMAR, take what is left
of the grain offering after a portion
has been presented as a special gift to
the Lord and eat it beside the altar.
Make sure it contains no
yeast for it is most holy.
You must eat it in a sacred place.
For it has been given to you and your
descendants as your portion of the
special gifts presented to the Lord.
These are the commands I've been given,
but the breast and thigh that were lifted
up as a special offering may be eaten
in any place that is ceremonially clean.
These parts have been given to
you and your descendants as your
portion of the peace offerings
presented by the people of Israel.
You must lift up the thigh and the
breast as a special offering to the Lord
along with the fat of the special gifts.
These parts will belong to you and
your descendants as your permanent,
right, just as the Lord has commanded.
Moses then asked them what had happened
to the goat of the sin offering when
he discovered it had been burned up.
He became very angry with Zer
and eMAR, Aaron's remaining sons.
Why didn't you eat the sin
offering in the sacred area?
He demanded it is a holy offering.
The Lord has given it to you to remove the
guilt of the community and to purify the
people, making them right with the Lord.
Since the animal's blood was not
brought into the holy place, you
should have eaten the meat in
the sacred area as I ordered you.
Then Aaron answered Moses.
Today my sons presented both
their sin offering and their burnt
offering to the Lord, and yet
this tragedy has happened to me.
If I had eaten the people's sin
offering on such a tragic day as this,
would the Lord have been pleased?
And when Moses heard
this, he was satisfied.
Then the Lord said to Moses
and Aaron give the following
instructions to the people of Israel.
Of all the land animals, these
are the ones you may use for food.
You may eat any animal that has completely
split hooves and choose the cud.
You may not, however, eat the following
animals that have split hooves or
that chew the cud, but not both.
The camel choose the cud but does
not have split hooves, so it is
ceremonially unclean for you.
The hi racks choose the cud, but does
not have split hooves, so it is unclean.
The hair chews the cud, but does not
have split hooves, so it is unclean.
The pig has evenly split hooves but
does not chew the cud, so it is unclean.
You may not eat the meat of these
animals or even touch their carcasses.
They are ceremonially unclean for you.
Of all the marine animals, these
are the ones you may use for food.
You may eat anything from the water
if it has both fins and scales.
Whether taken from saltwater or

They're detestable to you.
You may, however, eat winged insects
that walk along the ground and
have jointed legs so they can jump.
The insects you are permitted to eat
include all kinds of locusts, bald
locusts, crickets, and grasshoppers.
All other winged insects that walk
along the ground are detestable to you.
The following creatures will
make you ceremonially unclean.
If any of you touches their carcasses,
you'll be defiled until evening.
If you pick up their carcasses, you
must wash your clothes and you'll
remain defiled until evening.
Any animal that has split hooves that

Those that have paused are unclean.
If you touch the carcass of such an

All these small animals
are unclean for you.
If any of you touch the dead
body of such an animal, you
will be defiled until evening.
If such an animal dies and falls on
something, that object will be unclean.
This is true whether the object is made of
wood cloth, leather, or burlap, whatever
its use, you must dip it in water and
it will remain defiled until evening.
After that, it will be ceremonially
clean and may be used again.
If such an animal falls into a clay
pot, everything in the pot will be
defiled and the pot must be smashed.
If the water from such a container
spills on any food, the food will

But anyone who touches the
carcass will be defiled.
If the carcass falls on seed grain
to be planted in the field, the
seed will still be considered clean.
But if the seed is wet, when the carcass
falls on it, the seed will be defiled.

and be holy because I am holy.
So do not defile yourselves with any
of these small animals that scurry
along the ground for I the Lord am the
one who brought you up from the land
of Egypt that I might be your God.
Therefore, you must be
holy because I am holy.
These are the instructions regarding
land, animals, birds, marine creatures,
and animals that scurry along the ground.
By these instructions, you will know what
is unclean and clean, and which animals
may be eaten and which may not be eaten.
The Lord said to Moses, give the following
instructions to the people of Israel.
If a woman becomes pregnant and
gives birth to a son, she will
be ceremonially unclean for seven
days just as she is unclean.
During her menstrual period
on the eighth day, the boy's
foreskin must be circumcised.
After waiting 33 days, she will be
purified from the bleeding of childbirth.
During this time of purification,
she must not touch anything
that is set apart as holy.
And she must not enter the sanctuary
until her time of purification is over.
If a woman gives birth to a daughter,
she will be ceremonially unclean for
two weeks just as she is unclean.
During her menstrual period, after
waiting 66 days, she will be purified
from the bleeding of childbirth.
When the time of purification is completed
for either a son or a daughter, the
woman must bring a one-year-old lamb for
a burnt offering and a young pigeon or
turtle dove for a purification offering.
She must bring her offerings to the
priest at the entrance of the tabernacle.
The priest will then present
them to the Lord to purify her.
Then she will be ceremonially clean
again after her bleeding at childbirth.
These are the instructions for a woman
after the birth of a son or a daughter.
If a woman cannot afford to bring
a lamb, she must bring two turtle
doves or two young pigeons.
One will be for the burnt offering and
the other for the purification offering.
The priest will sacrifice them to purify
her and she will be ceremonially clean.
