Shabbat shalom again.
And welcome again to, to church of the Messiah.
In our readings, in The Book of Leviticus, we're coming into an especially challenging part of the book.
if so one that we keep learning more about each time through, I want a course of main reason that it's challenging is that it deals with a part of culture.
Both Moses is culture and Jesus Culture.
That's boring.
So not really a part of our culture.
but in the, in the Gospels, This concept, the concept of ritual Purity that I'll be talkin about.
Comes up quite often implicitly.
And when we recognize that and understand it accurately, then we can come to a deeper appreciation of who Jesus is and what he came to do.
So I've called this Jesus in the forces of death after up a book of that title.
That's come out recently.
That's it.
That's really very good.
So I'm going to start in Leviticus and we'll explain some Concepts and then go on to the Gospels.
So we'll start in Leviticus chapter 10.
And verse God was instructing Aaron on his way to responsibilities as the high priest.
And God said your to distinguish between the holy and the common and between the clean and the unclean.
So, Aaron had a lot of distinctions to make and responsibilities.
And remember that was why he couldn't be drinking on the job.
I just we were talking last week.
Okay, so I want to look at the terms in this verse to review, what they mean.
So first, let's talk about holy and common.
Holy means specially set apart for God.
So there can be holy places like the Tabernacle or Temple or God's presence was right?
And there could be holy time, like the Sabbath and holy people like the priest.
Common, on the other hand just means ordinary anything.
That's not specially set apart.
All the places outside the temple and the other six days of the week.
And people other than fries perfectly good things but not especially you set apart for these for these purposes.
And you know what?
Two things, Aaron had to decide.
For example, there were certain offerings, that could be eaten only by the priest, in a holy place, the offerings that were called most, holy and Leviticus.
And Aaron had to be sure that the eating of the offerings was done by the appropriate people in the appropriate places, and that was part of the country distinctions that he had to make.
Okay, so let's talk about the clean and unclean part, which I think requires more discussion for us.
There were basically two possible states that a person could be in in in in Israel.
You were either rum clean and I'm going to go use it with the terminology ritually pure.
I went really talking about sanitation and hygiene, right?
We're we're talking about a person in an ordinary steak where they would be allowed to go to the Tabernacle at Temple and worship.
And then, on the other hand, the unclean, what I call ritually and pure would mean that you were temporarily not allowed to go to the Tabernacle Temple.
I should have said that the basic meanings.
Now, there's some important things to understand about about this concept.
What is that, becoming rich?
Liam pure was something that was just an ordinary part of, of Life of day-to-day life and that happened to everybody.
For example, if one of your family members passed away and, you know, anything in your house say then those who live with that family member would be temporarily ritually and pure and that's kind of fun.
We'll talk about today this.
So this was something that wasn't usually a matter of sin or of hygiene or oath of Public Health.
Now that were Exceptions there were sinful things, that one could do.
That could make one lead to one becoming rich early in pure but in general were talking about natural parts of life and not things that tough that involves sending.
Offer examples, Marie Selby was mentioning a Shepherd say, who had to deal with a dead animal.
There's no sin in.
You have to deal with a dead animal, right?
And it wasn't sinful to say to handle an animal carcass or two.
I'll be in a room where a dead person was but these things would make you, we would make you richly a and we'll talk some more about that.
Another thing to mention here.
Is that?
Yes, and another thing is that this was something that was not usually a problem, but it had to be kept away from the temple.
And it's also the case that the concept of ritual Purity and impurity wasn't just a Jewish thing.
It was part of all the cultures of the ancient near East, in, Israel's time in Moses's time and it was a part of cultures around the Mediterranean World in.
Jesus's time.
We found Greek temples from, you know, from the time of Jesus and afterwards where they would be an inscription.
There.
That would say, okay don't come here.
If you've been polluted to a dead body.
Or done some of the other things.
And it was usually actually the same set of things in, in all the cultures, pretty much that would, that would cause you to be ritually in pure.
Then we'll talk about those things.
If we go to the next several weeks.
I'm going to get into all the details because we got several weeks to unpack this, and, and will benefit from her from doing that.
I'm just going to just getting started.
Now what was the idea though?
What was you know, what was God using this using this for?
So in all and all the couches.
That was an idea that if you were going to come to a temple to come before a deity.
That wasn't something to do casually that was, you know, something that would should be done, should be done carefully and with reverence.
So I understand, you know what this was about, conceptually.
What we'll find is we discuss the different sources of a ritual impurity over the next several weeks.
All of them have a connection somehow with deaf or with human mortality.
The fact that we are temporary subject to death subject, to Decay, part of the human condition.
And so, going through a period of ritual impurity reminded you of that reminded you of the fact that you were a human and there's a golf there between you and the immortal.
Holy God.
So approaching that.
Holy water.
God was not something to be taken lightly.
And even today, we talked about boldly approaching the throne of grace, which is a great privilege still.
Not course, not something to do nonchalantly.
So there was some spiritual lessons that were that were here and you know it.
Usually these were things that did not involve sin, but did kind of remind us in the big picture of human sinfulness in human limitations.
Know what happened when you became Rich?
Ali A. Well, removing ritual impurity really involved two main ingredients water and time.
It's what's up.
What was involved?
So, for example, if you had contact with an animal carcass, we start here 11 this week.
You were to wash and then if sunset.
You were good to go.
If you wanted to go to the temple, right?
It was a very temporary ritual impurity.
Now, I need to explain something in his involvement with Mary.
Sylvia was saying, so it is true that the Shepherds out in the field, the deal with animal carcasses all the time, which would have given them a minor ritual impurity, right?
One that you know can be gotten rid of pretty quickly and pretty easily.
