Leviticus

UNEDITED

  • starts off w god telling moses details on how to do various sacrifices for atonement and peace

  • aaron does all the sacrifices as told by moses

  • once completed, aaron came out to bless everyone and the lord revealed himself in a fire to the people and they all freaked (good)

  • aaron’s sons out some incense in the fire unprompted and god immediately killed them

  • then he spoke and he basically said don’t step to me don’t do anything i haven’t said to do cause i must be glorified (using that now on) so aaron didn’t say anything

  • moses tells his cousins keep it cool n don’t let your hair get messy or you’ll end up like aaron’s sons and told aaron’s other sons lay off the wine or same 

  • impurity after childbirth 

  • day of atonement - fast and reflect to cleanse your sins yom kippur 

  • god outlaws incest very detailed

  • no sex on period

  • no gay male sex (yay lesbians)

  • no beastiality

  • more laws: don’t lie or steal or defraud, be kind to disabled people, leave food for poor people 

  • no two kinds of crop in the same field, no two kinds of material in the same clothing 

  • if you go somewhere and plant a fruit tree you can’t eat the fruit for three years, 4th year is good

  • no tattoos, respect the elderly, don’t prostitude your daughter

  • 19:33-34  “when a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. the foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native born. love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in egypt”

  • everyone gotta die for breaking the rules

  • priests can marry whores or divorcees or widows only virgins

  • priests can’t be disabled, hunchback, sores or damaged testicles 

  • festivals 

  • eye for eye tooth for tooth 

  • if someone’s poor, you’re not supposed to take any interest from them or sell anything to them for a profit

  • none of the Israelites can be slaves, but everybody else can be

  • punishment is like 4x longer than reward… God says if you obey me, then I will give you a lot of crops and no one can fight with you but if you disobey me then I’m gonna give you terror and diseases and you’re not gonna have anything to eat and all of your enemies will be able to kill you and people that hate you will always win and you will always be running even if no one’s chasing after you

  • then God starts going over how much people cost men always cost more than women
