Week 48, Day 4: Priestly requirements
Today’s Reading: Leviticus 20:1 – 21:24
Some thoughts from the reading..
Among the many things mentioned in today’s reading, there is a limitation for who can serve as a priest before the Lord. 21:16-24 tells us that no descendant of Aaron who has a defect may not serve as a priest in the tabernacle. Along with wanting sacrifies that are without defect God required that those who served as priest before Him be without defect. I believe this to be a continuation of the aspect of the best is given to God. Those who did not have any defect in them, those who were without blemish.
Question: Why do you think that it would be important for those who serve as priest be without any blemish? What message do you think would be presented if just anyone served?
