| 0:00.0 | Welcome to a year in the Bible with Daily Grace. The Bible tells one big story of redemption, |
| 0:09.1 | and we want to spend five minutes every day journeying through the Bible from start to |
| 0:14.3 | finish and exploring how all of it points to Jesus. |
| 0:22.6 | What's up everybody? Welcome back to another episode of the year in the Bible podcast with |
| 0:27.4 | the Daily Grace Company. My name is Kyra, and I'm happy to be here with you today. |
| 0:32.0 | The next step are chapters 13 through 15. These chapters are really interesting because they |
| 0:38.4 | get into the civil and ceremonial laws of the time. The civil laws were established as |
| 0:44.9 | just practices that were specific to the iserlite way of life, and the ceremonial laws included |

| 1:44.8 | practices that mimicked the practices of the evil nations around them. These were warnings |
| 1:52.4 | against cutting oneself and making a bald spot on one's head. The pagan nations did these things |
| 1:58.9 | as a part of their worship to their gods. The laws also included warnings against eating a specific |
| 2:06.7 | animals considered unclean. God called the iserlites to be a holy nation. The law against cutting |
| 2:14.4 | would show the need to be set apart and the law against eating unclean animals would show the |
| 2:20.1 | need to be morally pure. The third section of laws involved bringing a tenth of the agricultural |
| 2:26.7 | harvest to the Lord. They were to bring these crops as well as new wine, fresh oil, and the first |
