Leviticus 17
Leviticus 17:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto Aaron,
and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them;
This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, saying,
3 What man
soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or
goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,
4 And bringeth
it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an
offering unto the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord; blood shall be
imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off
from among his people:
5 To the end that the children of Israel may
bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they
may bring them unto the Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the
Lord.
6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the
Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for
a sweet savour unto the Lord.
7 And they shall no more offer their
sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a
statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.
8 And thou
shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of
the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering or
sacrifice,
9 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation, to offer it unto the Lord; even that man shall be cut off
from among his people.
10 And whatsoever man there be of the house of
Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner
of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and
will cut him off from among his people.
11 For the life of the flesh
is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an
atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for
the soul.
12 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of
you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you
eat blood.
13 And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel,
or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any
beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof,
and cover it with dust.
14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood
of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel,
Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is
the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
15 And every
soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with
beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both
wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even:
then shall he be clean.
16 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his
flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
