Leviticus 22
Leviticus 22:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto Aaron
and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the
children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in those things
which they hallow unto me: I am the Lord.
3 Say unto them, Whosoever
he be of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy
things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the Lord, having his
uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the
Lord.
4 What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a
running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And
whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed
goeth from him;
5 Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby
he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever
uncleanness he hath;
6 The soul which hath touched any such shall be
unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his
flesh with water.
7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and
shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food.
8
That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to
defile himself therewith: I am the Lord.
9 They shall therefore keep
mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they
profane it: I the Lord do sanctify them.
10 There shall no stranger
eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall
not eat of the holy thing.
11 But if the priest buy any soul with his
money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat
of his meat.
12 If the priest's daughter also be married unto a
stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
13 But
if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is
returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her
father's meat: but there shall no stranger eat thereof.
14 And if a
man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part
thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the priest with the holy thing.
15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel,
which they offer unto the Lord;
16 Or suffer them to bear the
iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the Lord do
sanctify them.
17 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
18 Speak unto
Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say
unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers
in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all
his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto the Lord for a burnt
offering;
19 Ye shall offer at your own will a male without
blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20 But
whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be
acceptable for you.
21 And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of
peace offerings unto the Lord to accomplish his vow, or a freewill
offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there
shall be no blemish therein.
22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or
having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the
Lord, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the Lord.
23 Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or
lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill offering;
but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24 Ye shall not offer
unto the Lord that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut;
neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your land.
25
Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of
any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in
them: they shall not be accepted for you.
26 And the Lord spake
unto Moses, saying,
27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is
brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the
eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by
fire unto the Lord.
28 And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not
kill it and her young both in one day.
29 And when ye will offer
a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the Lord, offer it at your own will.
30 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it
until the morrow: I am the Lord.
31 Therefore shall ye keep My
commandments, and do them: I am the Lord.
32 Neither shall ye
profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of
Israel: I am the Lord which hallow you,
33 That brought you out
of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord.
• 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)
