PORTION “PARASHA” OF THE WEEK – 7 OF 7 TZAV - COMMAND By: Julie Parker-Copyright © 2003-2014 - Leviticus 6:8 to 8:36 - Jeremiah 7:21- 8:3; 9:22-23 - Hebrews 13:10-16 - 1Timothy 2:1-8 - Romans 12:1-2 The Ordination of Aaron and His Sons Leviticus 8 After all the regulations for the offerings were given, Yahweh had Moses bring Aaron and Aarons four sons, along with the anointing oil, the bull for the burnt offering, the two rams and a basket containing bread made without yeast, to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. Then Moses gathered the whole assembly to witness as he washed and dressed Aaron in his High Priest garments and Aarons sons in their linen robes. The required bull was offered for any sin of dishonor/chatas, and when its blood had consecrated the altar and made atonement for it, they took the bull with its hide, flesh and offal and burned it outside the camp. Later, they voluntarily presented two rams, one for the elevation/olah/burnt offering and the other for the ordination of Aaron and his sons. The blood of this ram was put on their right ear, right thumb and right big toe. Along with the olah, the minchah was offered with a cake (challah) made of unleavened bread. After the wave offerings of the breast and thigh, Moses sprinkled Aaron and his sons with blood. To complete their ordination they had a meal of the holy offerings and stayed at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting a full seven days. 1 Timothy 2:1-8 Paul said, I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus /Yeshua Ha Mashiach/the Messiah, who gave himself as a ransom for all men - the testimony given in its proper time. And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle - I am telling the truth, I am not lying - and a teacher of the true faith to the Nations. I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing. Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Shabbat Shalom,
