Leviticus 6 · Grade 5
Faithful Morning and Night
Read and Think
In the English numbering of the Bible, Leviticus 6 opens with a law about wronging a neighbor. Deceiving him about a deposit, robbing him, oppressing him, or lying about a lost thing are all called a trespass against Yahweh. The guilty person had to restore it in full and add a fifth part more, and bring a ram for a trespass offering. Then he will be forgiven.
From verse 8, the commands turn to the priests. The burnt offering was to remain on the altar all night until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it. Every morning the priest put on his linen garment, removed the ashes, changed his clothes, and carried the ashes outside the camp to a clean place. Then he laid wood on the fire again.
The chapter adds laws for the grain offering, the priest's own daily offering, and the sin offering, which was most holy and eaten in a holy place. The repeated tasks are not dramatic, but they mattered to God. The New Testament tells believers to pray without ceasing and to be faithful in small things. God is pleased by steady, faithful love.
