Leviticus 14 - Clean & Unclean (Part 4 - cleansing)

In this Bible Study, we look at Leviticus chapter 14 as we continue our “clean and unclean” segment of Leviticus.  In chapter 13, we saw the ways that a person would be labeled “unclean” - due to a defiling skin disease.  In Chapter 14, we see how a person can be declared “clean” after having a defiling skin disease.Outline: 00:15 - Outline of Leviticus 13 & 14 and recap.03:00 - What did it mean to be considered “unclean?”  Was an “unclean” person not loved by God or by the Israelite community?04:20 - Jesus heals people with Leprosy09:37 - Leviticus 14.1-6 - Cedarwood, scarlet yarn, hyssop - why these three???  all could be used for cleansing?  Num 19.6 uses the same three things.11:36 - Leviticus 14.7-10 - Why the two birds?  For you Bible scholars, this may remind you of something; Leviticus 16.7-10 - Scapegoat14:14 - Leviticus 14.8-9 - bathe twice, shave twice.  They must still isolate outside their own tent for 7 days, perhaps this was just to ensure the defiling skin issues did not come back?15:47 - Leviticus 14.10-20 (reading of)17:58 - Leviticus 14.10-11 - What did the person to be cleansed need to bring?18:39 - Leviticus 14.14-17 - Blood (from the guilt offering) - lobe of right ear, right thumb, and right big toe.  The same with the oil (on the right ear, thumb, and big toe).  WHY?Exodus 29.20 and Leviticus 8.23 are similar in correlation to the consecration and ordination of the tabernacle priests. 20:28 - Offerings - We see the guilt offering, the sin offering, the burnt offering, the grain offering (as well as a wave offering).  This restores the patient to full fellowship as a member of the covenant community.22:24 - Leviticus 14.21-32 - Provision for the poor.  25:11 -  Leviticus 14.33-48 - mold in a house or building31:13 - Leviticus 14.49-53 - The cleansing process is the same for the house as it is for a person in verses 4-7.  It is nearly identical, though there are some differences. 34:00 - Leviticus 14.54-57 - conclusions34:46 - Application - Thanks be to God that we are cleaned (washed) by the blood of Jesus Christ!Support Iron Sheep Ministries: https://Ironsheep.org/donateListen to the podcast: https://anchor.fm/ironsheepContact Dave & the ISM team: [email protected] notified of each new teaching, join the email list: http://eepurl.com/g-2zAD
