Leviticus 22 · Grade 3
Accepted Gifts
Read the Story
Leviticus 22 tells the priests to respect the holy things the people gave. A priest who was unclean had to wait until the sun was down before eating holy food. Only his household could eat it, not a visitor or a hired worker.
God also gave rules for the people's gifts. Every offering had to be without defect. God said a blind, broken, or sick animal would not be accepted. The people were to give God their best, not their leftovers.
God even showed care for animals. A cow and her young were not to be killed on the same day. The chapter ends, I am Yahweh, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God.
Memory Verse
