Leviticus 6:19-7:14 “What Priests Must Do II”

Translation & Sermon by Nate Wilson for Christ The Redeemer Church, Manhattan, KS 01 May 2016

Introduction

· Last week we began looking at the latter part of Leviticus chapter 6, which reviews the five different kinds of sacrifices^{^[1]} from the first five chapters, this time from the perspective of what the priest is supposed to do with the sacrifice instead of from the perspective of what the sinner in need of forgiveness is supposed to do.

· I pointed out that, even though we don’t need the temple sacrifices anymore, it is still important for us to know what priests were supposed to do,

o First because it helps us learn about what Jesus is doing for us now as our high priest and gives us more motivation to worship Him,

o and Second because Jesus has given us priestly roles in His new economy, as the book of Revelation repeatedly states^{^[2]}, so it teaches us what we should be doing

· Last week, I covered three special roles of priests that apply to us today, namely:

o Treat the altar as holy and wear special garments around it. I showed from Hebrews 13:10 and Revelation 19:8 that Jesus is our holy altar (where God touches man) and that it is our job as New Testament priests under Jesus the High Priest to exalt Him as holy through the “righteous acts” of trusting and obeying Him.

o Second was the command to keep the altar fire burning, the fire which symbolized God Himself upon an earthly altar. We are now, in a sense, earthly altars in which the fire of God, the Holy Spirit, dwells today, and we are commanded in 1 Thessalonians 5:19, “Do not quench the Spirit.” We tend that fire in our own selves by using the “means of grace” which God has provided us: the reading of Scripture, prayer, singing worship music, Christian fellowship, and participation in baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

o The third point last week was from 6:18 and is repeated in 6:27: “Everyone who comes into contact with” holy things “becomes holy.” While we are certainly to treat what is holy with respect, God’s holiness is more powerful than evil, so He is not threatened by profanity. As God’s priests, we must not allow ourselves become withdrawn into a holy huddle out of fear of being contaminated by the world; we can be confident in advancing against the gates of hell, knowing that the Gospel is more powerful, and the gates of hell will not be able to hold back the spread of Christianity.

· Now, there are many more curiosities in Leviticus 6-7 which could be meditated upon, but frankly God’s word provides so little explanation for the meaning of so many of these things that it’s anybody’s guess how to apply them, and commentators come up with imaginative and contradictory applications. So, this week, instead of guessing at the meanings of obscure practices, I want to highlight three more basic priestly roles from the end of chapter 6 and the beginning of chapter 7 and show how they apply to us today. These three basic roles are:

o Priests give their own offerings to God

o Priests offer sacrifices for other people that they may be reconciled to God

o and Priests eat holy food.

· So let’s start with the first of these:

A) Give your own tithe and offerings to God (6:14-23)

6:14 Now this is the instruction concerning the grain offering: The sons of Aaron shall bring it before the face of Yahweh to the front of the altar, 15 then he shall scoop up from it his handful of fine flour of the grain offering and of its oil plus all the frankincense which is upon the grain offering, and he shall make its memorial portion go up in smoke on the altar – a soothing aroma to Yahweh... 19 Again Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 20 “This is the offering of Aaron and his sons which they shall offer to Yahweh on the day he is to be anointed: A tenth of a bushel of fine flour. [There is to be] a continued grain offering from half of it in the morning and then [another] from half of it in the evening. 21 It shall be made with oil, stir-fried on a skillet. You shall bring it [as] baked pieces of a grain offering of crumbled pieces. You shall offer a soothing aroma to Yahweh. 22 The priest anointed in his stead from among his sons shall then prepare it. [It is to be] a lasting statute. [The] entirety shall be offered up in smoke to Yahweh. 23 So every grain-offering of a priest shall be entirely [committed]. It shall not be eaten.”

· The priests were instructed, not only to take people’s sacrifices but also to give memorial portions (which were basically a form of tithing), and consecration offerings.

o The priests would take a memorial portion out of the food donated to them and tithe it by burning a handful on the altar.

o The high priest and his successors gave an additional offering introduced in 6:20.

o The ancient Jewish historian Josephus wrote of these offerings in his Antiquities of the Jews “The [high priest also, of his own charges, offered a sacrifice, and that twice every day. It was made of flour mingled with oil, and gently baked by the fire; the quantity was one tenth deal of flour; he brought the half of it to the fire in the morning, and the other half at night.” (3.10.7, Tr. William Whiston)

o This is apparently how they interpreted the adverbתָּמִיד in v.20, which was translated “continuously” back in v.13. The priest’s offering was initiated in the morning with half of it and then continued to completion in the evening with the other half, so that the priest was not merely offering to God what other people gave for the morning and evening sacrifices, he was also offering from his own substance.

· Giving tithes and offerings demonstrated that the priest is conscientiously under the authority of God he serves, and is therefore a servant of the people of God – a giver, not a taker.

· But there are plenty of people throughout history who did not fear God but rather used religion to take advantage of others. I think of:

o Eli’s sons, the priests Hophni and Phineas, who were gluttonous concerning the sacrifical meat in 1 Samuel 2:12-17,

o and the priests later on in the Prophet Ezekiel’s day: “Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks? You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool; you slaughter the fatlings, but you do not feed the flock. The weak you have not strengthened, nor have you healed those who were sick, nor bound up the broken, nor brought back what was driven away, nor sought what was lost, but you have become cruel rulers over them.” (Ezekiel 34:2-4, NKJV)

o And then there were the Pharisees of Jesus’ day who “devoured widow’s houses.” (Mat. 23:14)

o That same greedy attitude can be found in some people today. I’ve gotten quite a few phone calls on the church line from panhandlers that apparently have nothing better to do than to spend all day calling churches and asking for money. You know how many of them are willing to actually attend one of our worship services? So far it’s been exactly zero percent. They see the church as a source of money, not as a community they can give to.

· How about you? Do you view the church as an institution that exists to give you benefits, or do you approach church as a giver to serve God and His people?

· We all have different resources to offer:

o Some make more income than others, so a 10 percent gift to the Lord is naturally going to be bigger for some than for others, and that’s just life.

o The same goes for talent: some can play three musical instruments – at the same time! – while others can keep track of three columns of accounting or juggle three active toddlers. We all can praise God to the best of our ability – but it should be to the best of our ability, because the quality of our worship shows how much we value our God.

o Some are visionaries and teachers who are absolutely useless at getting anything done, but they sure make fellowship exciting and they sure make people hear the Gospel, and some are so administratively gifted and efficient in getting things done that you don’t even notice they’re there and you don’t realize how easy they have made everybody else’s lives by doing what they do, but we all have something to give.

· Will you embrace your role as a priest under the authority of Jesus and be a giver who seeks to benefit God’s people with the resources He has given you?

· The second basic role of a priest highlighted in this passage is that a priest will...

B) Offer sacrifices for other people to reconcile them to God (6:24-7:5)

6:24 Again Yahweh spoke to Moses saying, 25 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘This is the instruction concerning the sin-offering: In the place where the whole-burnt-offering is slaughtered, the sin offering shall be slaughtered before the face of Yahweh. It is a holy thing among holy things. 26 The officiating priest of the sin-offering itself shall eat it... 30 But every sin-offering in which some of its blood is brought into the Tent of Meeting to make atonement in the holy place must not be eaten; it must be burned in the fire.

7:1 ‘And this is [the] instruction regarding the guilt-offering. It is a holy thing among holy things. 2 It is in the place where they slaughter the whole-burnt-offering that they shall slaughter the guilt-offering, and then he shall sprinkle its blood around upon the altar. 3 And he shall offer from it all its fat – the fat tail and the fat covering the innards – 4 and both kidneys and the fat which is upon them which is upon the flanks and the lobe above the liver – he shall put this aside with the kidneys. 5 Then the priest shall offer them up in smoke on the altar [as] a burnt-offering to Yahweh. It is a guilt-offering.

· Leviticus 1:5 addresses the same sacrifice that Leviticus 7:2 does, but from the viewpoint of the worshipper, switching the plural and the singular verbs. The singular seems to indicate the main character in the narrative. In chapter 1, the main character is the worshipper, (“he” who “slaughters” the animal), while “they” (someone else, the priests) “sprinkle the blood on the altar.” Here in chapter 7, the priest is the main character, so it is “they” (the worshippers) who slaughter the animal, and then “he” (the main character, the priest) does his job of sprinkling the blood. 7:4 follows the same wording as the instruction regarding the peace offering in chapter 3 (v.10).

· Now, how can we apply this to ourselves today? Sacrificing bulls and goats was one of the main things priests did back in the Old Testament, but we don’t do that anymore. Is there any parallel to us in our priestly role today?

· First let me underscore that the basic role of making blood atonement to appease the wrath of God against sin is not something that we can do. That is what Jesus did on the cross, and there is nothing we can add to it. That’s why we don’t sacrifice animals anymore. Jesus’ death was enough to satisfy God’s justice which decreed the death penalty for our sins.

· However, we can still enter into the priestly role as facilitators of reconciliation between men and God. Let me share three key passages from the New Testament which bring this principle out:

o Hebrews 13:15-18 “Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. Obey those who rule over you... Pray for us...” (NKJV)

§ The New Testament book of Hebrews says that we can still offer sacrifices, and it describes our New Testament sacrifices as praising the Lord, doing good, sharing resources, obeying authority, and praying for missionaries. Are you offering those kind of sacrifices? As a priest in Christ, this is your job.

o 2 Corinthians 5:17-20 “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.” (NKJV)

§ As a priest, you have a “ministry” (and you thought I was the only one in the ministry!) Your ministry is to use the Gospel, the “word” He has “committed” to you, and “beg” people to “be reconciled to God” by trusting in Jesus to save them. Jesus is focused on “reconciling the world to Himself,” and as His priest, you can join Him in that same ministry by appealing to men to be reconciled to God.

o James 5:16-20 “Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. Then he prayed again, and the sky poured rain and the earth produced its fruit. My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.” (NASB)

§ You see more of that ministry of reconciliation there in James, in terms of helping people recognize their sin and turn away from it and find salvation in Jesus.

§ James also highlights the priestly duty of prayer. This is what priests do; they talk to God on behalf of other people. Will you embrace your priestly role in Christ and pray for other people that they may be healed, that they may be saved, that even the weather would advance His kingdom purposes on this earth? “The prayer of a righteous person is very strong, having been made effective.”

· So we’ve looked at a priest’s basic duty to make offerings to the Lord and to offer sacrifices for other people to reconcile them to God, now for the third duty: Priests are to...

C) Eat the Holy Food (6:26-29, 7:6-14)

6:26 The officiating priest of the sin-offering itself shall eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place – in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting. 27 Everyone who comes into contact with its flesh will be holy, including that which it sprinkles from its blood. Even the garment that it sprinkles upon must be washed in a holy place. 28 And a ceramic utensil in which it is boiled shall be shattered, and if it was boiled in a utensil of bronze, it shall be scoured and washed out with water. 29 Any male among the priests may eat it. It is a holy thing among holy things...

7:6 Any male among the priests may eat it. It is to be eaten in a holy place. It is a holy thing among holy things. 7 As is the sin-offering, so is the guilt-offering; [the] instruction is the same for them: It shall belong to the priest who makes atonement with it. 8 And the hide of the whole-burnt-offering which he (the priest who offers the whole-burnt-offering of a man) shall offer is for the priest, it shall belong to him. 9 And every grain-offering which is baked in an oven, and everything prepared in a skillet or in a deep-fryer is for the priest – the one who offers it. It shall belong to him. 10 And every grain offering – mixed with oil or unconstituted – shall be for all the sons of Aaron. It shall be [that] man’s just as [much as] his brother’s.

· This section of scripture lays great emphasis on the priests getting a portion of the meat and bread that was sacrificed and eating it!

· The priest was to eat his holy food from these sacrifices without leavening and eat the food in a holy place. Leaven, as we have observed before, was a symbol for sin in the Old Testament. Perhaps there were additional practical reasons why God said they couldn’t eat any of that Panera sourdough bread in the temple, but they are lost to us today, however, the symbolic absence of sin is clear because of the corollary command to “eat it in a holy place.”

· It is God’s will that you, as His priest, continue to life a holy life that is not permeated by sin but which embraces His righteousness as you enjoy all that He provides for you.

o Ecclesiastes 5:18-19 “Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat, to drink and enjoy oneself in all one's labor in which he toils under the sun during the few years of his life which God has given him; for this is his reward. Furthermore, as for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, He has also empowered him to eat from them and to receive his reward and rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.” (NASB)

· I think that these meals the priests ate in the temple courtyard were basically their lunch (following the morning sacrifice and cleanup and chores) and then their supper (after the evening sacrifice offered at twilight). There was other food which God provided for them to take home to provide for their families when the priests went off duty.

o There were special bronze pots, whose making was mentioned in Exodus 27, that sat in the temple area for the priests to boil their meat in for these on-the-job meals.

o It seems that porcelain cookware was discouraged. Keil and Delitzsch’s classic commentary suggests that the porousness of clay pots would absorb fat from the meat which could never be completely washed away. Other earthen vessels defiled by unclean things were also destroyed (Lev. 11:33-35).

· The significance of who gets the offering in v.7 is brought out in v.8 – the priest who makes the sacrifice gets to keep the animal’s skin.

o The exception is in 4:11&21 when the offering is for the priest himself, then he has to burn the skin.

o The skin may have more than mere economic value for clothing and shelter and writing media:

§ Skin is a physical covering which symbolizes the spiritual covering of blood in atonement. The one who arranges a covering (kipper) for sin gets to keep the covering of the animal sacrificed.

§ When the very first animal was sacrificed by God in the Garden of Eden to atone for Adam & Eve’s sins, who got the skin? Adam and Eve got the skin, and they used it to clothe themselves. (Newbery)

§ Would it be too much of a stretch to say that Jesus kept His skin by being resurrected after He offered Himself on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins?

· In addition to the meat, the grain offerings in ch. 7 were also God’s provision of food for the priests.

o The grain offerings were described back in chapter 2 in greater detail, because chapter 2 was for the worshippers who prepared them, now in chapter 7, these are instructions for the priests, and these instructions focus on the priests receiving the grain offerings.

o The smaller portions of fresh-baked bread were for the officiating priest, but the raw grain and oil that was presented in v.10 was to be put in one of the storerooms of the temple and measured out equally to all the priests.

· In 7:11ff – we have the thanksgiving peace offerings.
7:11 And now this is the instruction regarding the sacrifice of peace-offerings which he shall offer to Yahweh: 12 If he is offering it upon an [occasion of] thanksgiving, then he shall offer on [top of] the thanksgiving sacrifice: unleavened cakes mixed with oil and unleavened wafers spread with oil and cakes of stir-fried fine flour mixed with oil 13. On [top of] the cakes he shall offer leavened bread [for] his offering – on [top of] his sacrifice of thanksgiving peace-offerings. 14 And from it he shall offer [as] a contribution to Yahweh one of each offering to the priest who sprinkled the blood of the peace offerings. It shall belong to him.

o Now peace offerings, you may remember from chapter 3, involved killing an animal, burning the fat on the altar, and eating the meat, but here in chapter 7, is a special case of fellowship offering called a “thanksgiving” offering.

o As far as the priest was concerned, it meant that the parishioner brought along a bunch of bread to go with the sacrificial animal, so basically there would be buns for the barbeque meal afterward!

o Actually this is one of the types fulfilled in the Lord’s Supper – a sacrifice with two basic elements: bread and a live animal (symbolized by blood).

o This is the first mention of a thanks-offering, and we don’t see them again until hundreds of years later during the time of the kings of Israel^{^[3]}.

o They seemed to be special occasions of praising God for deliverance after He had brought you through a crisis. Jonah, for instance, promised to offer a thanks-offering if God would deliver him from the belly of the fish at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea.

o One of each of the different kinds of cooked grain offerings from chapter 3 is listed (which were all unleavened), and then on top of all that, (v.13) a loaf of leavened bread.

o The priest who sacrifices the animal for the peace offering gets one loaf of each kind of bread that the worshipper brought with his sacrifice.

o Maybe the priest ate it together with the worshipper and his family, or maybe he took it home to his own family. But once again, the focus is on eating!

· As a member of Christ’s body, the church, you also have holy food to eat.

o You have a right to share in the bread and cup of Holy Communion, as you seek to preserve its holiness by keeping your life free from sin.

o But every day God provides you, His children and His priests, food and clothing and shelter. The Lord’s Supper is a microcosm of the larger picture of His desire for you to enjoy what He provides and walk in faith and obedience toward Him.

Conclusion

So will you take up your calling as a priest?

· Will you adopt an attitude of being a giver of your resources to honor God and bless His people?

· Will you pray for other people and share the Gospel that they may be reconciled to God?

· Will you partake in the holy food of the Lord’s Supper, and live a holy life rejoicing in all the ways that your Heavenly Father provides for you?

Comparative translations of Leviticus 6:8-30

When a translation adds words not in the Hebrew text, but does not indicate it has done so by the use of italics (or greyed-out text), I put the added words in [square brackets]. When one version chooses a wording which is different from all the other translations, I underline it. When a version chooses a translation which, in my opinion, either departs too far from the root meaning of the Hebrew word or departs too far from the grammar form of the original Hebrew, I use ~~strikeout~~. And when a version omits a word which is in the Hebrew text, I insert an X. (Sometimes I will place the X at the end of a word if the original word is plural but the English translation is singular.) I have also tried to use colors to help the reader see correlations between the various editions and versions when there are more than two different translations of a given word.
