Leviticus 15:
After chapters 12-14, Leviticus 15 outlines the last ritual purity law for people left. Remember, the purpose of these laws were to teach the Israelites how to be holy as God is holy. Following the laws allowed holy God to dwell in the tabernacle in the Israelite camp. In this episode, we cover the last ritual purity law, those regarding bodily fluids. I get a little squeamish just writing that, but after studying it, it is a topic that needs to be covered for the Israelites seeking purity.
HAYLEY’S BIBLE BENDER:
My takeaway from this episode came in the reading of Hebrews 10 with a Leviticus perspective. Without giving away spoilers, the terminology that Paul uses in this section snaps the reader back into the laws of Leviticus. The studied Jews would have seen the connection instantly but for us, a little less studied today, the result is a Bible bender!
