Holy Offerings (Leviticus 22)

Bible Summary:

God commands Moses that priests are to treat the offerings sacred. Anyone ritually unclean that comes near the offering can never serve at the altar again. No one with skin disease may eat the offering. Priests who have touch a corpse, unclean person or unclean animal are unclean until evening and cannot eat the offering until they have bathed. Only priest family members may eat the offering. If anyone else does they must pay the priest the value plus 20%. The offering must also be a male animal with no defects and not obtained from foreigners.

My Thoughts:

Rigidness: I am beginning to understand how the Jews could despise Jesus for going against the rigid Laws of Moses passed down from God, including not touching a corpse (Lazarus), people with skin disease (lepers) and prostitutes.
