You are listening to A Year in the Bible with Daily Grace. I'm Shelby and I'm here with

CJ. And today we're in Leviticus chapters 11 and 12. And these chapters are not for someone

with a weak stomach. I'm someone with a weak stomach, whenever there's blood or anything that has to do with injuries

or anything that might make me squeamish.

I'm always asking someone else to help me out.

But we're going to talk through these.

We're going to understand these things.

And we're going to even see how the scripture can apply to our lives today.

So we talked yesterday about the death of Aaron's sons, and you kind of teed up for us, that

there's this idea of common and holy and clean and unclean. And so would you want to explain

that just a little bit more for us before we get into chapters 11 and 12. Yeah. So again, as you said,

perfectly, Shelby, Moses at the end of that episode with Nadav and Avivu, when they died and they had

to be carried out, he said, priests, you guys need to be able to distinguish between the holy

and the common, the clean and the unclean, or the pure and the impure, depending on which

translation you're reading. And Leviticus 11 through 15, the section we're about to enter

here for these next few episodes, deals with clean and unclean, and we'll deal with holy

and common later on in Leviticus. But again, right now we're going to deal with clean and

unclean. All right, perfect. we're going to deal with clean and unclean.

All right. Perfect. So then chapters 11 and 12 specifically. And as a woman, chapter 11 can be hard to understand. So I would just love for you to break down what's happening here with

these clean and unclean laws. Right. So clean and unclean is not about sinful and not

sinful. Impurity in Leviticus are things that are marked by death. So the example we just saw

with Nadavina Vihu and their corpses.
