This is the Bible Book Club where each episode we dive deep into the only book written 2,000 years ago that can still change your life today.

Welcome to the Club!

Last time on Bible Book Club was chapters 8 through 10.

Then we studied how Moses modeled obedience.

He was an example to the priests, and he was commanded to ordain them.

And Aaron and his sons became the first priest in a long line from the tribe of Levi.

The tabernacle was open for business,

and Israel had a place to worship. It was time for church, y'all. It was time for church.

The glory of the Lord appeared to all the people, and fire from God consumed the priest's offering.

Not long after, the fire consumed Nadab and Abahou, the sons of Aaron,

who did not follow Moses' example of obedience. It was an example of what not to do with all of the

offerings. Serving as a priest, though, is serious business, and there was no room for error. Aaron

suffered in silent obedience. His commitment

and courage has grown since his error in Exodus. So he's redeemed himself at this point in our story.

So today in our pyramid-shaped outline, which is in the show notes. It is a great graphic if you've never

studied Leviticus and you kind of want to get it in your head. We are almost to the top of

the pyramid where we're going to make a turn. We started at the base with chapters 1 through 7,

where we read laws for ritual sacrifice. So that first segment was ritual sacrifice.

Remember those five offerings, burnt grain, fellowship sin and guilt.

We're going to have them in this episode too as just a kind of part of something.

The second segment was chapter 8 through 10, which Heather just recapped.

That was the priest's ordination.
