THE REGULATIONS FOR PRIESTS
Leviticus 21
- In verses 1-4 what things are allowed / not allowed in regards to being unclean?
- Verses 5-9 talks about what kind of actions?
- In verses 10-15 what rules are listed here that are different from others you have read so far?
- Verses 16-24 bring on some interesting laws. What do these laws make you feel? What do you think about God after reading these? Do you think you understand why He said these laws?
Leviticus 22
- In verses 1-9 what things make a person unclean? What rules are stated in regards to approaching the holy offerings?
- In verse 10-16 talks about the holy offerings. What things do you notice here?
- In verses 17-25 we read about the type of offerings that can be made. What do we learn about these offerings and what God expects?
- In verses 26-30 talk about sacrificial animals young and old – what is noted here?
- Write out verse 31-33
What have you learned about God today? Do you feel you are beginning to understand why He made all these rules for the Israelite’s or do they seem excessive and unfair to you? What are you discovering about man through all these rules? Is there something you can take away from today’s readings?
Today’s reflective question: Do I truly yearn to live a holy life?
Connect With the Word 
I loved how these chapters ended. We are to keep His commands AND do them; Because HE is Yahweh. We are not to profane His name, He is to be treated as Holy. (oh how often do we treat Him just as another thing in our lives, not giving Him the full Holy reverence He deserves). We do this because He IS Yahweh – the one who set us apart, the one who has brought us out of our own bondage and slavery to sin. He did this to be our God, why? Because He IS Yahweh. So because of this, yes I truly yearn to live a holy life that is pleasing and. honoring to Him as best I can.
