Speaker 1 (00:50):
Hello, and welcome to the alternatively by Bible Study otherwise
known as No Wrong Questions Bible Study on YouTube. Uh,
We're on all the platforms, but on YouTube it is
no Wrong Questions. It has some wrong question It has
a different name on YouTube because we're doing an experiment.
Follow us follow us on YouTube to help the experiment.

(01:11):
I don't know. We're experimenting on people. We're experimenting to
see if putting the Bible study by itself on YouTube
will help it maybe get go farther than are the
larger show is able to go on YouTube specifically because
of the way that you could. It doesn't matter. It
doesn't matter. Welcome to part one of our Leviticus and

(01:34):
Hebrews Bible Study. We're going to be reading through. We're
doing those Bible studies. We read through every verse and
we comment. It's we're just having a conversation. We are
not Bible teachers. This is just the community Bible study
where you're welcome to chat in the live chat. This

(01:57):
is pre recorded, but we try to be in the
live chat on Rumble with you All. That's where the
most the majority of the life chat takes place. If
YouTube gets bigger, and surpasses rumble. Then we might spend
more time over on YouTube, be that as a bay. Yes,
so this is our part one of doing one chapter
of Hebrews and then a couple chapters with Leviticus surround

(02:20):
out the hour. The reason for this is that Hebrews
does a lot of talking explaining what the law means
for us. Now post Jesus what the New Covenant means
in kind of showing, well, we'll show you as we
go along, I hope showing how things are fulfilled. Nose spoilers. Okay, Liz,

(02:43):
would you bring you for Yes, Lord Jesu, let's say
so you help open our eyes to your truth tonight.
I hope that I ask that you help us to
not wander into misunderstandings or error, but to say faithful
to scripture. And I ask also that you bless all
the listeners here, that you help them with any of
the issues that are going on in their lives, whether
are big or small. And thank you for bringing us
all together so we can discuss the Bible without getting

(03:03):
in trouble with the law. And I forel this and
Jesus name man, hey man. Okay, we're starting with chapter
one Hebrews. This is how we know God likes Guffy
because he Hebrews Hebrews, and Jesus drove a honda because
seeing the disciples were all in one accord or of

(03:24):
one accord. Yeah, I get assassinated for that Hebrews Chapter one,
long ago. At many times and in many ways, God
spoke to our fathers by the prophets. But in these
last days he is spoken to us by his son,
whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom

(03:46):
also he created the world. He is the radiance of
the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature,
and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.
After making purification for sins, he sat down at the
right hand of the Majesty on high, having become a
much superior to angels, as the name he has inherited
is more excellent than theirs. For to which of the

(04:06):
angels did God ever say, you are my son today
I have begotten you. That is from a Psalm to seven,
that quote you are my son today. Yeah, this is
the next chapter quote of several sums. Yes, or again
I will be to him a father, and he shall
be to me a son Psalm eighty nine. And again

(04:29):
when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says,
let all God's angels worship him. Some ninety seven. Of
the angels, he says, he makes his angels wins, and
his ministers a flame of fire some hundred four. So
it's good for me to be about by pyromaniac, because
fire is angelic. Yes. But of the son, he says,

(04:53):
Your throne, O God, is forever and ever the spirit
of a brightness. You're right. Your throne, O God is
forever and ever. The scepter of a brightness is the
scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore, God,
your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness
beyond your companions. This wass forty five. And you Lord,

(05:16):
laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and
the heavens are the work of your hands some one
hundred two. They will perish, but you remain. They will
all wear out like a garment, like a robe. You
will roll them up like a garment. They will be changed,
but you are the same. In your years will have
no end. Intu which of the angels. Has he ever said,
set up my right hand until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet? Some one hundred ten? Are

(05:40):
they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for
the sake of those who are to inherit salvation? I
think my understanding this is from the John MacArthur Study Bible.
As I recall from the notes, the audience of this
specifically was like I think the Altra Satans. It was
like a Jewish sect who had kind of started to
go in to a bit of angel worship. M I

(06:02):
might be quoting that wrong, so feel free toffact check me,
but it was something to that effect, or he was
he was specifically talking to people who had not They
weren't Messianic Jews, they were just Jews who had heard
about Jesus s thought he seemed like a good idea,
but like hadn't made the commitments right. Well, it seems
like that the error he's specifically countering in this first
chapter is that they seem to believe Jesus was an angel. Yes,

(06:25):
and he's through and this is a good, good, good
good model. Through the quotation of much scripture, he is
going through improving. No, he's he's not an angel. He's
much above the agel. He's got I even wonder I
might be making this one a memory. But even whatoner
if they thought he was Michael art arch angel. Oh,

(06:47):
I can't English. I'm gonna go right now. They did
that so Second Temple, I know Second Temple Jews, some
of them thought that Melchizedek was Michael, which is interesting,
and that the the angel of the Lord was Like
there were some like them trying to figure out like
what the angel's lord was, whom al Chizidek was. Maybe

(07:09):
I'm crossing wires here. They did something. They had like
weird beliefs about angels. But it's the Jehovah's witnesses to
think that Jesus was Michael or something like that. Anyway,
not super important. But also I think that there's the
Catholic and Protestant I think at a certain time in
history all kind of believed that the Jesus wasn't going

(07:30):
to come back until Michael the arch angel had like
shown up or something. Oh, I've looked into that more too. Anyway,
people are really obsessed with an angel who showed up
in just a few times in the Bible. He's one
of the only named ones. Well, I can understand the
obsession because it's only he and Gabriel who are ever named.
There's an information desert, so like anything you can find
is like an oasis, right, And then you could argue

(07:51):
a baden might be a good angel, but he might
be a demon. It's a little bit unclear. He has
a bad Yeah, he's a badon. Yeah, a bad one.
I guess it's interesting how little we know about angels
and how much like they're referenced a lot in scripture,
but we just never like learn much about them, And
it's I think it makes sense why we get obsessed

(08:13):
with them, but I think that it's wrong. Like I
don't think we're supposed to think very much about them.
I took geometry to learn more about angles than I realized.
There was an unfortunate miscommunication I did. Yeah, geometry is
the most angelic. That is most angelic, all right, Well,

(08:34):
Jesus was not an angel. Jesus was God, and he
created the world. Is the point of Hebrews one. And
we said we were only going to do one chapter,
even though that was a pretty short chapter of heepers.
We said we were only going to do one chapter
and we are going to get into Leviticus, and we're
not going to be afraid of Leviticus, because not only
is this the no wrong Questions Bible study, there's also
no books of the Bible that we should be afraid of.

(09:00):
They're doing Song of Solomon next. We could don't call
my buff There's nothing that we should be afraid of.
And I think that it's wrong that there are. I
want to be I wanna be careful about this because
it is understandable that we maybe that we read the

(09:21):
New Testament more but in the Old Testament, just because
like reading about Jesus, reading the letters to the churches.
I can see a good argument for having like a
higher dose of that. But I think that there are
books that are just woefully under taught, parts of the
Bible that are woefully under taught and wolfully badly understood

(09:41):
to the detriment of Christians. And there are far too
many Christians who have never read the whole Bible and
certainly have not understood it in its entirety. And that's
one of the key the key missions of this Bible
study is to do some of the harder books that
we did. We did Exodus, and then we did Luke,
which is not a hard book, although some of the

(10:03):
things Jesus says, you're like, you have to think about it.
You do, you do? I did Luke, We did Glatians. Yeah,
as Ezecuel already, well, you and me only did the
very end of Ezekiel. So in in in the past
life of this show, we did Ezekiel, and we did Revelation.
But I want to redo at least Revelation. We did

(10:24):
Daniel as well, but I want to at least redo Revelation.
But I think that I'd like to retread some of
that ground with you. Some of the I like to do,
maybe the minor prophets. So there's a I want to
do everything right now. Yeah, all of that it let's
start with let's read very fast Leviticus one. The Lord

(10:45):
called Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meetings, saying,
speak to the people of Israel, and say to them,
when any one of you begin brings an offering to
the Lord, you shall bring your offering of livestock from
the herd or from the flock. If his offering is
a burnt offering from the herd. He shall offer a
male without blemish. He shall bring it to the entrance
of the tentive meeting, that he may be accepted before
the Lord. He shall lay his hand on the head

(11:05):
of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for
him to make atonement for him. Then he shall kill
the bull before the Lord. And Aaron's sons. The priest
shall bring the blood and throw the blood against the
sides of the altar that is at the entrance of
the tented meeting. Then he shall flay the burnt offering
and cut it into pieces. And the sons of Aaron.
The priest shall put fire on the altar and arrange
wood on the fire. And Aaron's sons the priests. That's

(11:28):
a funny way to say that, but in these cultures
they would constantly keep live coals like seedfire, yeah, seedfire,
so they would put fire and then put one on
top instead of restarting a fire every time. And Aaron suns.
The priest shall arrange the pieces, the head and the
fat on the wood that is on the fire on
the altar, but it's entrails and its legs he shall

(11:49):
wash with water and the priest shall burn all of
it on the altar as a burnt offering a food
offering with a pleasing aroma to the Lord. If his
gift for a burnt offering is from the flock, from
the sheep or goats, he shall bring a male without blemish,
and he shall kill it on the north side of
the altar before the Lord and aaron suns. The priest
shall throw its blood against the sides of the altar,
and he shall cut it into pieces with its head

(12:09):
and it's fat, and the priest shall arrange them on
the wood that is on the fire on the altar.
But the entrails and the legs he shall wash with water,
and the priest shall offer all of it and burn
it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a
food offering with a pleasing aroma to the Lord. If
his offering to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds,
then he shall bring his offering of turtle, doves, or pigeons,
and the priest shall bring it to the altar and
wring off its head and burn it on the altar.

(12:30):
Its blood shall be drained out on the side of
the altar. He shall remove its crop with its contents,
and cast it beside the altar on the east side
and the place for ashes. He shall tear it open
by its wings, but shall not sever it completely, and
the pre shall burn it on the altar, on the
wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering,
a food offering with a pleasing aroma to the Lord.
So it's interesting that God's not like just throw the
whole animal on the fire, like it's important that you're

(12:52):
not offering as an offering the poop that's inside it. Yeah,
there is a level of food safety here. Yeah, come
more important, especially when there's significant portions of these offerings
that are not just being burned, but they are being eaten,
either by the family given the offering or by the priests.
There's different divisions we're going to see. But what I
also appreciate here is that you were to bring from

(13:18):
what you had. If if you had a sheeper, like
if you if you could bring a ball, great, that's
the first one was. Then then if you could bring
a sheep or go great. If you can only bring
a bird, that's fine. And there's there's tears for your
your your level of your your financial life but if

(13:40):
you have finances, then you have balls, and you're like, no,
I'll just do a bird, right, Right, This was not
meant to be a religion that excluded you just for
being poor. Well, what matters is that you personally are
making a sacrifice whatever that looks like, right, you know
if a bird is a sacrifice. Also, you can't steal

(14:03):
your neighbor's cow write and sacrifice that. And I would
just like to point out it's important that the animal
is male. So those societies that were like let's throw
a virgin woman into a volcano, we're doing it wrong.
They're a dude in and then you'll get the rain. No.
I think it's interesting too that like they weren't asked
to bring one of their animals that could produce more,
like God was asking them for for a male of

(14:26):
the like I think that there was. There's like a
kindness in that of like, if you have one male
that can inseeminate all your sheep, that's enough. But if
you're constantly sacrificing your females. Mm hmm. It's funny which
states have laws about you could only kill male deer,

(14:46):
you can only kill female deer. You can only kill
like x number of female to male deer and the
other population. Yeah, depending on what the population needs to be.
So like God had an eye for this about the
population of the herds of these Israelites. Like in Maine,
you can't kill a dough, but in other states it's
free range on the dose. Yeah, I think that in
Virginia you can kill like one buck to every five dose.

(15:11):
But you have to kill like a certain number of
does to kill a buck because the population still high.
They're trying to intantize brain. We're tired of hitting them
on the road. Okay. Chapter two Nah Laws for grain offerings.
When anyone brings a grain offering as an offering to
the Lord, his offering shall be a fine flower. He
shall pour oil on it, and put franknsonse on it,
and bring it to Aaron's sons the priest, and he

(15:32):
shall take it from a hand from a hand. He
shall take from it a handful thank you. Yeah. And
he shall take from it a handful of the fine
flower and oil with all of its frankensince. And the
priest shall burn this as its memorial portion on the
ultar a food offering with a pleasing aroma to the Lord,
but the rest of the grain offerings shall be for
Aaron and his sons. It is the most holy part
of the Lord's food offerings. I want to point out

(15:53):
here if you don't know, that this is called Leviticus
after the tribe of Lee. The tribe of Levi is
the tribe that has been set apart out of the
twelve tribes of Israel, to be the ones who take
care of the temple. And it is specifically Aaron and
his sons and his line that will retain the priesthood.
And then there comes a point under the reign of

(16:16):
David where there's a certain priest that is that remains
faithful to David. I believe and yeah, go ahead and
google it, and the priesthood then becomes restricted to his line.
So even for the Yeah, so there's the Levitical priesthood
and or the Levitical line, and then the Ironic line,

(16:40):
and then the line of Zaduk. So it it narrows.
But then the rest of the Levites were they had
their cities, and they were still like all responsible for
like picking up the tabernacle and moving it and taking
care of the parts and keeping keeping the flocks that
belong to the Leevites, and like they had a special

(17:03):
they did not have the same. They inherited cities, and
they inherited, you know, place homes in the cities, but
they did not they did not inherit land the way
that the rest of the tribes of Israel inherited land.
They inherited the sanctuary cities. That not sanctuary cities as
far as they had nothing to do with immigration. It

(17:26):
had to do with if you committed manslaughter, if you
accidentally killed someone, you could run to those cities and
be spared from the what is it called no the
you're on the right track. My brain was doing kidsmin
and ready were too. The family of the person you

(17:47):
murdered is allowed to hunt you down and kill you
in the in the law of old Israel. And if
if you had killed them by accident, you could flee
to these cities and have basically a blood Yeah, if
you grabbed onto the horns of the altar, you could
live out your days in in the sanctuary city and
be and be prodected. However, if you left your fair game. Also,

(18:09):
if you actually did do a murder and then you
tried to do that, I think that would the priests
be like you die now. Yeah, there was some sort
of trial with the priest. The priests got to decide
if you could stare. It wasn't just like a oh,
you know, we're gonna trust you on this one, right, Okay,
let's see. So a lot of what we'll see in
the instructions is instructions for the offerings, but instructions that

(18:33):
also involved taking care of the levites because they didn't
have the land for their own crops and they had
limited space to be able to keep flocks. So a
lot of this is like the offerings are in some
ways attacks that are a portion of them are going
to the levites too, make sure they're taking care of

(18:56):
which is interesting. That's why when churches compare like tie
to this, it doesn't quite work because the churches will
use the tithes for you know, set dressing and worship stuff,
and well it's not it's not a one for on
comparison because the building showy stuff or whatever. Yeah, it's

(19:17):
like that. There's a complex conversation there. I think the
general like you could go a couple different directions with
with the tithe on because I think we're gonna get
to the tithe, then we can maybe talk about it more.
But on the one hand, you could argue that it
was basically like a political tax because the Levites were

(19:42):
also kind of like the judges and the that's true,
they were leading and caring for the needs of the people. Yeah,
I got to figure out my point better before I
try to make it, because I feel like there's a
nuance there that I'm well, but the Levites are doing
very specific things, like it's not the tithe was of

(20:08):
your not of your money, but of your like flocks
and you're you're your grain. Yeah, and so this was
what was feeding the Leevites. And and then Paul goes
on to say, you know, don't muzzle the ox while
he's treading out the grain, Like if if you're you're

(20:32):
receiving you know, spiritual leadership and being fed by a
pastor and he's not being yeah, you're not taking care
of him. His family's living in squalor, Like that's wrong.
You're supposed to be taking care of your pastor years.
But there are ways that churches use tithes in just
like an insane way. And it's I think I think

(20:53):
I figured at that point the tithe doesn't isn't supposed
to be for just doing insane, flashy, showy megachurch stuff
like a fog or something, especially if you're not paying
your workers a ton. You need to be paying everyone
who works there really really well with the money first
and foremost, because that's what that's was before. It is
to support you to take care of them properly. Maybe

(21:14):
not like really really really well, you're well, yeah, taking
care of them. Yeah. And it's not to say that
if a church says we're going to use the tithes
to pay for a meal after every service so that
we can always have a meal after Like there there
are ways that you can spend money. And like even

(21:35):
the larger church in our area that we've we've gone
to in the past, it does have a big, more
showy worship service, and you know that their equipment is expensive,
but those who tithe are blessed by it, like it's
an excellent worship service and people well, and the if

(22:00):
we're talking about when I think we're talking about they
also are given way in excess. What would we needed
to take care of the people, Like they have millionaires
going there. Yeah, yeah, they have people who just like
make huge donations for their worship service exactly, Whereas there's
one church that I know of that it's spent like
one thousand dollars on cardboard boxes for set dressing for

(22:21):
one sermon series, right, And there are ways it's like, Okay,
you're just trying to look you're just trying to have
like a viral moment. You're just trying to Like, I
think that we there's a fine line between being legalistic
about things and then just kind of knowing in your
gut when something is wrong and when something is acceptable. Yeah,

(22:41):
and I think that there's a room for having personal
preference about Like I would prefer that my church didn't
spend thousands and thousands of dollars on you know, cameras
and stuff, but that particular church has a large YouTube
channel and they would reach people all around the world
because they have the cameras and things and stuff. It's
not the cardboard boxes one, right, Right, working at two
different churches. And then of course the church I go
to is really small and and they basically play YouTube

(23:04):
videos of music every worship service to sing along to
and that's their worship service. I mean it works and
occasionally somebody comes in and plays a piano or something,
but it it I think that how a church is
spending money needs to be proportional to like the benefit
that you know, how they're reaching people, how how that

(23:27):
benefit is going back to the to the people, How
they're caring for people. If the way that God set
things up with the Levites was to take care of
them and make sure they were cared for, they make
sure that they could they could minister well to the people,
there was there's not this overage of like, oh the
Levites are going to be rich, well the rest of
you are going to be poor, or they're going to
watch walk around a flashy clothes. They made fog machines

(23:48):
for the fog machines in the temple so that they
can have all the rest of you just you know,
like why there's in no part of the levitical order
do I ever see any room for wastefulness. It all
feels very well ordered and correct well because also some
of these things the priests are supposed to eat the

(24:10):
day of Yees and not safe, so it's not like
you can just like there's a lot of food safety
stuff going on here. I'm sure these people who are
like desert. No bads are like, why is this so
specific in particular? And God's like because germs. But you
don't know about that yet, because you don't have refrigeration yet,
don't want about it, don't worry about it. Just don't
eat pork. Okay, let's see. But the rest of the

(24:33):
grain offerings shall be for Aaron and his sons. It
is the most holy part of the Lord's food offerings.
When you bring a grain offering baked in the oven
as an offering, it shall be unlovened loaves, a fine
flower mixed with oil, or unloved wafers smeared with oil.
And if your offering is a grain offering baked on
a grittle, it shall be a fine flower, unlovend mixed
with oil. You shall break it in pieces and pour
oil on it. It is a grain offering. And if

(24:53):
your offering is a grain offering cooked in a pan,
it shall be made a fine flour with oil. And
you shall bring the grain offering is made of these
things to the Lord. And when it is presented to
the priest, he shall bring it to the altar, and
the priest shall take from the grain offering its memorial
portion and barn this on the altar a food offering
with a pleasing aroma to the Lord. But the rest
of the grain offering shall be for Aaron and his sons.
It is the most holy part of the Lord's food offerings.

(25:15):
Something about that description just makes me really want like
that food, like a nice flat grain offering, bread with
the oil and a right And in this I think
we have come to a connotation of the word holy
that is perhaps right and wrong at the same time,
Like holy means set apart. Yeah, and so this is

(25:38):
like the most set apart part of the offering is
for Arran and his sons. Yeah. I like that. No
grain offering that you bring to the Lord shall be
made with loven, for you shall burn no loaven nor
any honey as a food offering to the Lord. Honey
can also be fermented, that's why. Oh interesting, Yes, So
the fermentation is the leven in particular is a metaphor

(26:01):
for sin, but fermentation in general is kind of a
metaphor for sin, the way that it grows and spreads
throughout something and you can't there's never like a loaf
of bread wear like there's a little bit of leaven
in this little corner, a little bit of east, a
little bit of rise, but like the rest of it
is completely There's no such thing as a person who
has a little bit of sin in a little corner
of their life completely set apart and fine and the
rest of their life is unaffected. Anyone whoever says to you, oh,

(26:25):
this pastor, sure, sure he had that one little incident
with that, you know, sleeping with a congrege, but like
that's a random No, definitely not referencing anybody at this
you know, anybody that such a terrible cough. No, it's

(26:45):
a little eleven levens the whole loaf a lump. Yeah,
because we can call him a lump. We can call
him a lump. And it's one thing. If he said, yes,
you're right, I did great wrong and that I have
I have cut that leven eye of me. I've let
God purge that love and from me and and and
it's gone. But no, he has kind of made excuses

(27:09):
for it, like I was on a real pastor at
the time, so it doesn't count. Oh in the case,
I'm not a real pastor, so I can do whatever.
Love and definitely didn't spread on any part of my
life and it didn't affect any of the congregants. No
waight back check time. But also do what was I
gonna say? Oh? I was picturing a cartoon where this
person has like a little a little loaf but a

(27:31):
little bit Levin and they're like, keep focus anything and
just like monitor, I want that comic. I wish. Okay,
somebody who's listening to this, you should become one of
those people who makes really simple comics. But they're like
all of the metaphors and parables and stuff in in
the Bible. Well, it reminds me of I think it's

(27:53):
Sarah Anderson who does some really cute comics where this
person is like, I'm gonna bear this deep down, it
will never ever affect me, and she walks and it's
just like already got this huge root system. Yes, yeah, okay,
So no honey. As an offering of first fruits, you
may bring them to the Lord, but they shall not
be offered on the altar for pleasing a roma. So

(28:13):
first fruits are the first of your produce, of your crops.
So you can bring love and bread, you can bring honey,
but you as far first roots offerings But as far
as what's being burned on the altar for pleasing roma, nothing.
You can't. You said, bring red or honey. You can't
pry honey. Were you not or even paying attention to rules?
You're never gonna cut in. You can bring it for
first fruits as an offering of first fruits, so you

(28:34):
may bring them to the Lord, but they shall not
be offered on the altar for a pasing rama. You
were the one not paying attention. Gosh, I'm off the island, bye, guys.
It was pleasure. You shall season all your grain offerings
with salt. You shall not let the salt of the
covenant with your God be missing from your grain offerings.
With all your offerings, you shall offer salt. I think

(28:55):
that so much of this is just metaphor made physical,
so that you do it over and over and over,
and you remember the thing that's being metaphorized. And if
it's like the covenant with God, the thing that made
their relationship, the thing that bound them together, the thing
that made them right with God, that's the whole reason

(29:17):
for the offerings. So to fail to season your offerings
with the salt of the Covenant would be to like
forget the offering is part of the covenant. Yeah, you're
just doing this off on your own for what God
isn't because God. We're going to see it in Hebrews.
You see it a lot in the Psalms, because David
really understood things on a level that like a lot

(29:37):
of people of his time didn't. Is that why he
was a man after God's on her? I think so
where there's a lot of David realizing, like, you don't
actually care about the sacrifice, you care about the covenant.
The sacrifice is only work because God made the covenant
with you and said you do this and I will
do this. That's the covenant. That's the agreement. It's not
your Your sacrifice isn't doing anything. It's God making good

(29:59):
on his work that's doing something. It's it's kind of
like if you cheat on your spouse and then give
them roses, Do you think that they want the roses?
Right right, right right? Yes? Because you've broken the covenant
and then you've brought the offer. Yeah, okay, yep, I
see what you're saying. You can tell me I'm brilliance, brilliantless.
The verse fourteen, if you offer a grain for forty.

(30:24):
If you offer a grain offering of first fruits to
the Lord, you shall offer for the grain offering of
your first fruits fresh ears roasted with fire, crush new grain,
and you shall put oil on it, and like Franknson's
on it. It is a grain offering, and the priest
shall burn as its memorial portion some of the crushed
grain and some of the oil, with all of it's frankincense.
It is a food offering to the Lord. The fresh
ears is that part of the grain thing? Or do

(30:45):
I have to is this like David in the Philistine
foreskins those years? It's it's fresh ears of food of
grain areas of grainless I have to make a phone call.
Real's real quick phone call. Leviticus three. If his offering
is a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offers offers
an animal from the herd, male or female, he shall
offer it without blemish before the Lord. So this without

(31:07):
blemish thing is like when you know you need to
go take an offering to God or you want to
go down because there are some offerings that you had
to take them because you did something wrong and you
had to take an offering to a tone but sometimes
it was like you're just you're just making an offering
to God. To make an offering to God either way,

(31:28):
you're not supposed to bring a blemish animal. You're not
supposed to go like, you know what, that one is
really sickly and it's leg is broken or like it's
testicles or crushed. This is a specific example that's that's
listed in the Bible of like crush Jess like this
this animal is worthless to me, So I'm going to
go offer to God. Oh that's totally wrong. We used

(31:49):
to have a comic on our fridge growing up where
this guy has this like sheep and the sheep is
like on crutches and its leg isn't a splint and
it just like looks like it's really hard done by.
And the guy's like, what do you mean you won't
take my offering? People just constantly think they can trick
they can trick God again an aisen safire h, Yeah, yes,

(32:11):
that's an ax. And we're gonna get to acts soon, yoilers.
After this, after the Hebrews Lytica study, we'll do we'll
do act and we'll talk about John. It might oh,
we'll see, Okay, it depends. John is poking around some
stuff in his career right now, and it's possible he
won't be able to do that. Since I didn't off
John because I was getting jealous of this, He's still around.

(32:34):
We will, we will see. It's up in the air
how much John will be able to be involved in
the show in the in the near ish future. Okay,
what is a mustache? Unknown? Okay, unknown. He might have
to shave it. I know, I know, I know. We'll see,
We'll be tragic. Okay, he grew it for Esau. I

(32:55):
haven't seen him without a mustache. Since Esau's going to
see it shaved and be like, yeah, neither of my
sons have ever seen their father without those bus stuff.
It's gonna be traumatizing. Ah, Okay, without blemish before the Lord,
and he shall lay his hand on the head of
his offering and kill it at the entrance at the

(33:15):
tent of meeting, and Aaron's sons supreall throw the blood
against the sides of the altar, and from the sacrifice
of the peace offering as a food offering to the Lord,
he shall offer the fat covering the entrails, and all
the fat that is on the entrails, and the two
kidneys with the fat that is on them at the loins,
and the long lobe of the liver that he shall
remove with the kidneys. Then Aaron's son shall burn it
on the altar, on top of the food, on top
of the burnt offering, which is on the wood on

(33:37):
the fire. It is a food offering with a pleasing
aroma to the Lord. And my understanding is the fat
that's like stuck to the organs is the health the
fat that's not healthy for humans to eat. It's not
the fat that's in the meat, right. Yeah, he's he's saying,
like all this stuff, we're gonna we're gonna burn this.
You're not gonna eat it. We're gonna burn it. It's
an offering to me, good for me, not for you. Yeah.

(33:57):
If his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering to
the Lord as an animal from the flock, male or female,
he shall offer it without blemish. If he offers a
lamb for his offering, then he shall offer it before
the Lord, lay his hand on the head of his offering,
and kill it in front of this tent of meeting.
And Aaron's son shall throw its blood against the sides
of the altar. Then from the sacrifice of the peace
offering he shall offer as a food offering to the Lord.
It's fat. He shall remove the whole fat tail cut

(34:19):
off close to the backbone, and the fat that covers
the entrails, and all the fat that is on the entrails,
and the two kidneys with the fat that is on
them at the loins, and the long love of the
liver that he shall remove with the kidneys, and the
priest shall burn it on the altar as a food
offering to the Lord. If his offering is a goat,
he shall offer it before the Lord and lay his
hand on its head and kill it in front of
the tent of beating, and the sons of Aaron shall
throw its blood against the sides of the altar. Then
he shall offer from it as his offering for a

(34:41):
food offering to the Lord, the fat covering the entrails,
and all the fat that is on the entrails, and
the two kiddies with the fat that is on them
at the loins, and the long lobe of deliver that
he shall remove with the kidneys, and the priest shall
burn them on the altar as a food offering with
a pleasing aroma. All fat is the Lord's. It shall
be a statute forever throughout your generations and all your
dwelling places, that you eat neither flat fat nor blood.

(35:02):
Don't be a vampire and don't yeh, don't be fat
fat again. It's against an a uh as an adeposire
at a pose vampire. Oh? Is that a thing is fat?
Did you? You don't remember? I was saying, is at

(35:24):
a post? I know? But is adapose vampire a thing like?
It is a person who like just likely eating fat?
A thing? Do you think it's a thing? People like
eating fat? People who only eat fat? People will eat
fat AI overview to share this top. People who like

(35:46):
eating fat are driven by its rich taste, satisfying mouth feel,
and its ability to enhance the flavor of food. This
preference stems from both evolutionary factors, as fat provides essential
energy and physiological responses where the brain rewards fat consumption
with a feeling of happiness and satiety factor. I think

(36:06):
it's saciety, No, maybe satiated. I don't know this. This
is it a tidy okay? I think it's just I
was homeschooled. In fact, I want to. Factors such as
the texture of fat, the aroma of volatile flavor compounds,

(36:27):
and individual genetic predispositions also contribute to preferences for fatty foods.
So it was the Spanish influence that changed the pronunciation,
as I do feel like a world where someone attacks
you and just sucks all the fat out of you
would not necessarily be a bad world. You should make it,

(36:49):
or you should write a funny book about fat fire
fires where everyone is like cool. People who've been on
Ozebic too long stort to turn into fat vampires suck. Anyways,
this has been awful writing Blevinic is four. God and

(37:10):
the Lord spoke to Moses saying, speak to the people
of Israel, saying, if anyone sins unintentionally in any of
the Lord's commandments about things not to be done, and
does any one of them, if it is the annointed
priest who sins, thus bringing guilt on the people, then
he shall offer for the sin that he has committed,
a bull from the herd without blemish to the Lord
for a sin offering. He shall bring the bull to
the entrance of the tent of meeting before the Lord,
and lay his hand on the head of the bowl

(37:31):
and kill the bull before the Lord, and the annointed
priest shall take some of the blood of the bowl
and bring it into the tent of meaning. And the
priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle
part of the blood seven times before the Lord in
front of the veil of the sanctuary, and the priest
shall put some of the blood on the horns of
the altar fragrant instance before the Lord, that is in
the tent of meaning, And all the rest of the
blood of the bull he shall pour out at the
base of the altar burnt offering, that is at the

(37:53):
entrance of the tent of meeting, and all the fat
of the bull, the sin offering. He shall remove from it,
the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat
that is on the interrails, and the two kidneys with
the fat that is on them at the loins, and
the long lobe of the liver, that he shall remove
with the kidneys, just as these are taken from the
ox of the sacrifice of the peace offerings, and the
priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offerings,
but the skin of the bowl and all its flesh,
with its head, its legs, its entrails, and it's dung

(38:15):
all the rest of the bowl. He shall carry outside
the camp to a clean place, to the ash heap,
and shall burn it up on a fire of wood.
On the ash heap. It shall be burned up. And
that's just disposal, not sacrifice for that last burning. Yeah,
If the whole Congregation of Israel sins unintentionally, and the
thing is hidden from the eyes of the Assembly, and
they do any one of the things that by the
Lord's commitments ought not to be done, and they realize
their guilt when the sin which they have committed becomes known,

(38:37):
the Assembly shall offer a bowl from the herd for
a sin offering and bring it in front of the
tent of meeting, and the elders of the congregation shall
lay their hands on the head of the bowl before
the Lord, and the bull shall be killed before the Lord.
Then the anointed priest shall bring some of the blood
of the bowl into the tent of meeting, and the
priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle
it seven times before the Lord in front of the veil,
and he shall put some of the blood on the

(38:58):
horns of the altar that is in the tent of
meeting before for the Lord. And the rest of the
blood he shall pour out at the base of the
altar of burnt offering, that is at the entrance of
the tent of meeting, and all it's fat he shall
take from it and burn on the altar. Thus shall
he do with the bull as he did with the
bull of the sin offering. So he shall do with this,
and the priest shall make a toment for them, and
they shall be forgiven. Sorry, I'm gonna read that. And
the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall

(39:18):
be forgiven. And he shall carry the bull outside the
camp and burn it up as he burned the first bowl.
It is a sin offering for the assembly. Okay, so
a couple of things. One. I know that in our
twenty twenty five mindset in the West and old sacrifice
feels really distasteful. But this is what God instituted from
the very beginning of sin in the garden when Adam

(39:39):
and Eve sinned, God killed a lamb and I think
it was lamb, I think so, yeah, yeah, and clothe
them with its skins, and it was it was one.
It was a metaphor for the coming fulfillment of Jesus,
Jesus dying for our sentence. Ohry, oh, it doesn't okay,

(40:00):
It just God killed an animal. But also it was
the it's that visceral. The penalty for sin is death,
and when God sets up this covenant this way, the
animal can take the penalty and it's not permanently taking
the penalty because ultimately Jesus had to pay for the
sins all the way back through everything, sort of an

(40:24):
I owe you. Yeah, yeah, it was a word. It
was a way for people who lived before Jesus to
have have their sins covered until such time as Jesus
actually paid for them. But it's it's this like the
severity of like you have to put your hand on

(40:46):
its head and it's killed like that you feel the
weight of what this is and the severity of your
sin and the and the cost of it, and then
it costs you something like this was part of their livelihood,
This was part of their financial That the that you
you lost something as dear as a bowl. One of

(41:07):
the other things here is that the priests are not
above doing wrong, like there's there's no expectation that the
priests are never going to sin. That the very first
instruction for sin offerings is is that like if a
priest does something wrong and that and that sin is
like on kind of the whole people that the priests
are because they're the spiritual leaders, are leading people, the
entire people with try it's not so much that they're

(41:30):
the leaders, it's because they're the mediators. Yes, So if
the mediator is is there is no line between God,
and that's a good it's a good point. You can't
get any absolution. So that's why we have Jesus now,
the perfect mediator. So now there is no there is
no possible way someone else's sin can affect our ability
to be right with God. Yeah. Yeah, So the very

(41:50):
first one is like if the priest sins, they have
to do this, And then the next one is like
if the whole assembly has sinned like together, and these
are all for unintented sins. These are all for like
you didn't realize you forgot the law you you know,
whatever it was, because there's there's nothing for intentional sin.

(42:11):
Numbers talks about that a lot too. Yeah, there's no
if you do these things intentionally, You're you're cut off
from Israel. You can't be part of the Covenant, you
can't be part of the people. Some of them is
a death penalty. Some of it's just a being cut
off from the people because there's no allowance here for
you're a rich man and you want to do whatever

(42:34):
sin you want to do, and then you're just going
to keep sacrificing, yeah, of your animals, just so you
can sit Like, none of that this is for unintentional sin.
I literally talk to someone who is like, I think
that I can probably get away with a sin because
I don't think it sent me to hell. I think
it would just give me more time in purgatory. And
I was like, I can guarantee you that's not how
God's the sin. Yeah, not at all, not at all.

(42:54):
What a terrible mindset. That's honestly scary, because like, I
know me, I know my sinful self. I know how
it can be. Like and maybe maybe God determines intentionality
different than we do. Like if you're in the heat
of the moment, and like if people say things they
don't really mean when they're angry, and you say, like,

(43:16):
why are you so mean, I hate you, Like you
shouldn't say that, obviously, but people do that and they
don't actually mean it in the moment. Does God hold
you as that that's an intentional sin in this system
or is it like a no that you were in
the heat of the moment you weren't sitting it was.
It's like, it's like how they have a difference between
a crime of passion and murder that's thought out well
in this system, Like it wasn't until Jesus where He's

(43:39):
like to look at a woman. Oh yeah, to us,
like your heart, what happens in your heart matters. All
of this law is like very physical you have to
really intend to do it to do it type of stuff.
That's true. And the things that are done unintentionally are
like we like the generation before us lost a law.

(44:00):
So for a generation we've been doing things wrong and
we just realized we've been doing things wrong and we
need to do that kind of stuff. I didn't realize
I couldn't sacrifice the one with the crushed testicles. Also,
why did they keep getting the testicles crush? This even happening?
Who's doing this to not funny, Frank, I'm not the
same a circumcision. Frank. It's not I need to refund

(44:24):
some people freaking Frank. It was Bob, wasn't it. We
just every one we do. We have to find someone
to frank in the frankests. No can go on about
Frank supposed to be on your computer, because I think

(44:47):
that she conflated a couple of things and it didn't
actually make sense. But some sort of Jewish movement. Okay, words,
I don't understand. Okay, that's fine. It's probably Frank. Frank
the Testical Crushure and all his followers. I can see
why Cantus is mad at them. Yeah, fow in them
like grapes. Sorry, my God. Verse twenty two. When a

(45:14):
leader sins doing unintentionally any one of all the things that,
by the commandments of the Lord has God ought not
to be done, and realizes his guilt or the sin
which he has committed is made known to him, he
shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without blemish,
and shall lay his hand on the head of the
goat and kill it in the place where they kill
the burnt offering before the Lord. It is a sin offering.
Then the priest shall take some of the blood of
the sin offering with his finger and put it on

(45:36):
the hords in the altar of burnt offering, and pour
out the rest of its blood at the base of
the altar of burnt offering, and all it's fat, he
shall burn out on the altar, like the fat of
the sacrifice of peace offerings. So the priest shall make
atonement for him for his sin, and he shall be forgiven.
If any one of the common people sins unintentionally in
doing any one of the things that, by the Lord's
commanments ought not to be done, and realizes his guilt,

(45:56):
or the sin which he has committed is made known
to him, he shall bring offering. I like that. There's
a couple of different ways you can find out about
your sin. You could realize your own guilt, or someone
could come and tell you. I think there's also the
connotation at some point of hear of like the process,
or maybe this was in the notes of the process
of being made known to him. Could also include he's
put on trial and declared guilty, so then he's considered

(46:18):
guilty of sin. Oh I didn't realize, But I don't
know if that's a little bit later on or if
that was in the notes. So I'll have to repect you,
all right, because I was picturing like a prophet in
this case, a profit making his sinknown to him. I
think that's also part of it. Okay. Yeah, he shall
bring for his offering a goat a female without blemish,
for his sin which he has committed. And he shall

(46:39):
lay his hand on the head of the sin offering
and kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering.
And the pre she'll take some of its blood with
his finger and put it on the horns of the
altar of burnt offering, and pour out all the rest
of its blood at the base of the altar. And
all it's fat he shall remove as the fat is
removed from the peace offerings, and the pre she'll burn
it on the altar for pleasing romance to the Lord,
and appration shall make a toment for him, and he
shall be forgiven. If he brings a lamb as his offering.

(47:00):
For a sin offering, he shall bring a female without blumish.
So interesting, like the sin offerings are the well the
bull was the first one. But I think some of
this has to do with the cost of the thing. Yeah,
this is somewhat somewhat of my guess, but it's interesting
to me that we kind of talked about this. Okay,
every single offering seems to him its own different rules

(47:23):
that yeah like, and the sin offerings seem to be
more expensive. Yeahs, yeah, which would make sense. If he
brings a lamb as his offering. For a sin offering,
he shall bring a female without blemish and lay his
hand on the head of the sin offering and kill
it for as an offering in the place where they
kill the burnt offering. Then the priest shall take some
of the blood of the sin offering with his finger
and put it on the horns of the altar of
burnt offering, and pour out all the rest of its

(47:44):
blood at the base the altar, and all its fat
he shall remove as the fat of the lamb is
removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings, and the priest
shall burn it on the altar on top of the
lord's food offerings. And the priest shall make atonement for
him for the sin which he has committed, and he
shall be forgiven. Say, look, we are at forty eight minutes. Okay,
let's keep going, little bit it is five. Wow, we
are getting we're moving right now. Well you are reading

(48:06):
a light speed, which is helpful. Yes, well, some of
this is a little bit boring, I mean a little
bit repetitive to your I know no exactly did I
do a heresy? Well, do you hear any thunder? If
anyone sins in that he hears a public adoration to testify,
and though he is a witness, whether he has seen
or come to know the matter, yet does not speak,

(48:27):
he shall bear his iniquity. Or if anyone touches an
unclean thing, whether a carcass of an unclean wild animal,
or a carcass of an unclean of unclean livestock, or
a carcass of unclean swarming things, and it is hidden
from him, and he has become unclean and he realizes
his guilt, Or if he touches human uncleanness of whatever
sort the uncleanness may be with which one becomes unclean,
and it is hidden from him when he comes to

(48:48):
know it and realizes his guilt. Or if anyone utters
with his lips a rash oath to do evil, Oh
that's what I was talking about, Yeah, Or to do good,
any sort of rash oath if people swear and it
is hidden from him when he comes to know it
and he realizes his guilt in any of these. When
he realizes his guilt in any of these and confesses
the sin he has committed, he shall bring to the
Lord as his compensation for the sin that he has
committed a female from the flock, a lamb or a

(49:09):
goat for a sin offering, and the priest shall make
atonement for him for his sin. But if he cannot
afford a lamb, then he shall bring to the Lord
ask his compensation for the sin that he has committed
two turtle loves or two pigeons, one for a sin
offering and the other for a burnt offering. He shall
bring them to the priest, who shall offer first the
one for the sin offering. He shall bring its head
from its neck, but shall not sever it completely, and
he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin

(49:30):
offering on the side of the altar, while the rest
of the blood shall be drained out at the base
of the altar. It is a sin offering, then he
shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to
the rule, and the priest shall make atonement for him
for the sin that he has committed, and he shall
be forgiven. But if he cannot afford two turtle doves
or two pigeons, then he shall bring us his offering
for the sin that he has committed, a tenth of
an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering. He

(49:52):
shall put no oil on it, and shall put no
frequincence on it, for it is a sin offering, And
he shall bring it to the priest, and the preece
shall take a handful of it, as it's more more,
and burn this on the altar on the lord's food offering.
It is sin offering. Thus the priest shall make atonement
for him for the sin which he has committed in
any one of these things, and he shall be forgiven,
and the remainder shall be for the priest, as in
the green offering. I'm going to go back up to

(50:13):
the very first seven that was said, because this was
interesting and I wanted to read it more slowly. If
anyone sins, and that he hears a public adjuration to testify,
and though he is a witness, whether he is seen
or come to know the matter, yet does not speak,
he shall bear his iniquity. So if they're saying, hey,
we'd like to know who killed this guy. Anyone who

(50:34):
knows please come forward, and this person's like, well, I
saw Jack kill him, but I'm not going to say anything.
I'm not going to testify. Like if you could bring
justice through the truth and you refuse to, it's a
symptoms line. And so it's saying he shall bear his iniquity,
like there is not an offering he can bring to
to rectify that. So it's like it's making it clear

(50:56):
here that even a mm hmm, you might not think
of a crime of what is it called, like a
failing to dosion A Yeah, crime of omission could be
that serious that you couldn't even make atonement for it.

(51:17):
But that was that, you know, refusing to refusing to
testify even though you know the truth. It's same thing, well,
because I think it's like if if I see a
murder committed and I decide not to out the murderer
for justice, then I have decided that murder is not

(51:39):
against God's law. Yeah, so that's a defiance of God's law,
not just an accidental pretty good, And it's kind of
juxaposed with like if you touch something that's unclean, but
it was hidden from you that it was unclean. Like you,
you did not intend to do something wrong here, you
brushed up against it. Yeah, you Josie didn't tell you

(52:04):
she was on our period and shrug your hand. Right,
you didn't realize that the meat you were touching was
from an unclean animal as opposed to a clean animal.
And you become aware of this. That's completely fine. So
like you, what your heart in something matters. It's like
in cartoons where the gravity doesn't apply. You realize that

(52:25):
you've fallen off the cliff. Sure, sure, uh okay. The
Lord spoke to Moses, saying, if anyone commits a breach
of faith and sins unintentionally in any of the holy
things of the Lord, he shall bring to the Lord
as his compensation a ram without blemish out of the flock,
valued in silver shekels according to the shekel of the sanctuary,
for a guild offering. He shall also make restitution for

(52:46):
what he has done and miss in the holy thing,
and shall add a fifth to it and give it
to the priest, And the priest shall make a tomment
for him with a ram, and the guild offering, and
he shall be forgiven. So this is specifically with regard
to the holy things of the Lord, and so specifically
you're like a breach of faith, a breach of the
of the covenant of the contract. But it's still unintentional.

(53:07):
I'm not sure exactly what would fall into this, like
what specific items, yeah, because I was thinking of like
the temple accouterment, but I don't know how much access
people would have to that damn much. The verse sixteen
is like, he shall also make restitution for what he
has done amiss in the holy thing. So maybe like
he brought he was he was bringing in his tithe,

(53:29):
and he thought he brought his whole tithe, and then
he actually hadn't brought his whole tithe. He had accidentally
left like a huge part of it out, so he
needed to go back and do that out a fifth yeah,
or something like that. That's what I can come up
with in the moment here. Okay, he shall be forgoing
seventeen if anyone sins doing any of the things that,

(53:50):
by the Lord's commments ought not to be done, though
he did not know it, then realizes his guilt. He
shall bear his iniquity but in this case there's forgiveness,
So maybe maybe the indication and the other one wasn't
that there was nothing that could be done, because it's
the same wording. But this is indicating that he is
may read this whole thing is if anyone sins doing

(54:11):
any of the things that by the Lord's commandments not
to be done, though he did not know, what then
realizes is his guilt. He shall bear his iniquity. He
shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish out
of the flock, or it's equivalent for a guilt offering,
and the priest shall make atonement for him for the
mistake that he made unintentionally, and he shall be forgiven.
It is a guilt offering. He has indeed incurred guilt
before the Lord. So I think there's a difference between

(54:32):
the sin offering and the guilt offering, and oh, oh yeah,
you are bearing your guilts until like there's like actual
guilt incurred by some of these things, and then there's
like you need to offer an offering for it because
it was sin, but it was unintentional, so you're not
bearing the guilt for it. I yes, I am continuously

(54:53):
relieved that I don't live in the society because I
am too autistic about stuff like this, and I would
stress out about accidentally breaking a rule because I didn't
understand it. I feel like that was probably a pretty
steep learning curve. And then but the nice thing, the
nice thing is that, like, really it's the priests that
have to know this law, and everyone else just does

(55:14):
what they're told. And if you accidentally break a rule
and that it's made none to you, guess what you
can do a sacrifice? Right, right, God's not waiting to
kick you out, right, And the it's nice that there's
a whole group of people who are set apart to
take care of these things, whereas like the whole tribe
of Leavi is set apart to keep track of the law,

(55:35):
to take care of the House of God and like
to take care of all these things to minster to
the people. And then everyone else is like, Okay, we're
going to just till our fields and raise our flocks
and do what we're told, and like their focus can
be on their mundane things, and they can, and the
Leavites are entrusted to take care of these other things. Yeah,
start the law and you get Yeah, I wish. I like,

(55:57):
everything's so cut and dry in the law, and when
we get to the New Testament, where we're not supposed
to have such like blind faith and trust in our pastors.
We are supposed to be searching the scriptures and testing them.
But like that's not what the people are called to
in Leviticus, like that the Levites are giving their instructions

(56:17):
and the people follow it, and like God will hold
the Levites accountable for their error. But I think the
and was it numbers of Deuteronomy they were supposed to
like there was instruction for the there's people to read
the word though, Yeah, yeah, the law, so they did
have to be familiar with it. Yeah, No, I'm sorry.
I think I'm probably overstating that a little bit as
far as there was Yeah, I know what you meant that. Yeah, yeah,

(56:40):
there's not like a you guys need to be constantly
policing the Levites to make sure they're doing things right.
Whereas I feel like that is the case in because
the pastors aren't a separate class now, right right, we
are supposed to be like evaluating everything that's taught us
and searching the scriptures ourselves and making sure that it's true,
And I think they're just a higher level of in

(57:04):
some ways a higher level of responsibility, but in some
ways a much lower level of responsibility, because like all
our sins are paid for, so like, yes, we're more
responsible in like areas of truth and seeking out truth
and seeking God and reading the scriptures for ourselves and
making sure that we're not following after wolves of sheep's
clothing and all these things, but at the same time,

(57:27):
like it's less weighty for us to be wrong. Well
we have we have the Holy Spirit too to convict us.
So previously it was like the conviction would come externally. Yeah,
well that is where we'll end for today. What we
we got through, we got through livid because fives will

(57:47):
start in next week with Hebrews two and Leviticus six,
and I'm hoping that as we get further into Hebrews.
I know that as we get further into Hebrews, it'll
get more into some of the stuff about the sacrifices
and start to explain more of Like right now, we
just had a little bit about angels and Jesus, so
we're not quite into talking about the law yet and Hebrews,
but it should begin to be an explainer because scripture

(58:10):
interprets scripture, and Hebrews in particular is shedding a lot
of light on what to make of the levitical law.
So I am going to pray, and then we'll say
good night. Dear Lord, thank you so much for all
of your word, for the Old and New Testament, for
the kind of tedious, repetitive torah bits that we oftentimes

(58:35):
kind of shy away from. But I pray that you
would speak to everyone who listened tonight, even if Liz
and I didn't say anything that helped somebody. I prayed
that just the reading of your word has spoken, has
spoken to their hearts, and that you would any questions
that they have. I pray that they would bring them

(58:55):
to you and that you would answer them. And I
pray that you would just bless us. All in our
are are seeking you and seeking truth and seeking knowledge
of you. In your name. Good night,

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
