FORGIVE ME GUYS - THERE WAS A CONFUSION BETWEEN LESSONS 5 AND 6 NOW IT FIXED
Study 6 From The Book of
Leviticus Is: Leviticus 9 and 10
The tabernacle and priests have
been sanctified and dedicated; all was now ready for the normal work of the
priesthood to begin.
1.
What was Aaron’s first offering at the start
of his ministry? Though pardoned, anointed and consecrated, he still needed
mercy through atoning blood. But, when
all was duly offered, how did God show His acceptance of His people’s worship?
With 9:22a, cf. Nu. 6: 22-27.
2.
What did Nadab and Abihu do? What happened?
Why did God act like this?
Notes
1. 10:1. ‘Unholy fire’: this may mean fire not
taken from the altar, but the central thought is that it was fire which God had
not authorized.
2. 10:8-11.
It has long been thought that Nadab and Abihu may have been indulging in
wine; hence this prohibition.
3. The significance of 10:16-20 seems to be
that Aaron realized that Nadab and Abihu had taken part in the offering of the
sin offering and that this rendered it unacceptable and unclean. This is a
touching story of Aaron’s full acceptance of God’s verdict on his own sons.
