LEVITICUS 8
The Consecration of Aaron and His Sons
Ex 29:1–37
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 (Ex 28:2–4) Take Aaron and his sons with him,
and the garments, and the anointing oil,
and a bull for the sin offering,
and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread,
3 and gather all the congregation together
at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
4 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him,
and the assembly was gathered together
at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
5 Moses said to the congregation,
"This is the thing which the Lord commanded to be done."
6 (Ex 29:4; 1Co 6:11) Moses brought Aaron and his sons
and washed them with water.
7 (Ex 28:4) Then he put the tunic on him, and tied the sash around him,
and clothed him with the robe, and putthe ephod upon him, and he girded
him with the decorative band of the ephod and bound the ephod to him.
8 (Ezr 2:63) He put the breastplate on him. He also put the Urim
and the Thummim in the breastplate.
9 Then he put the turban upon his head.
Also on the turban at the front he put the golden plate,
the holy crown, as the Lord commanded Moses.
10 Moses took the anointing oil,
and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it,
and sanctified them.
11 He sprinkled oil on the altar seven times and anointed the altar
and all its vessels, both the laver and its stand, to sanctify them.
12 (Ex 30:30; Ps 133:2) Then he poured some of the anointing oil
on the head of Aaron and anointed him to sanctify him.
13 (Ex 29:8–9) Moses brought the sons of Aaron and put tunics on them,
and girded them with sashes, and put headbands on them, as the Lord
commanded Moses.
14 (Eze 43:19) He brought the bull for the sin offering,
and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull
for the sin offering.
15 (Lev 4:7) He slaughtered it, and Moses took the blood,
and put it on the horns of the altar around it with his finger,
and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the base of the altar,
and sanctified it to make reconciliation on it.
16 (Ex 29:13) He took all the fat that was on the entrails,
and the appendage above the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat,
and Moses burned them on the altar.
17 (Lev 4:11–12; Ex 29:14) But the bull, and its hide, its flesh,
and its refuse he burned with fire outside the camp,
as the Lord commanded Moses.
18 (Lev 8:2) Then he brought the ram for the burnt offering,
and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.
19 He killed it, and Moses sprinkled the blood on the sides of the altar.
20 He cut the ram into pieces, and Moses burned the head, the pieces,
and the fat.
21 (Ex 29:18) He washed the entrails and the legs in water,
and Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering
for a pleasing aroma, and a food offering made by fire to the Lord,
as the Lord commanded Moses.
22 (Lev 8:2) Next he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration,
and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.
23 (Ex 29:20; Lev 14:14) He slaughtered it, and Moses took some
of its blood and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron,
and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
24 He brought the sons of Aaron, and Moses put some of the blood
on the tips of their right ears, and on the thumbs of their right hands,
and on the big toes of their right feet.
Then Moses sprinkled the blood on the sides of the altar.
25 He took the fat, and the fatty tail, and all the fat that was
on the entrails, and the appendage above the liver, and the two kidneys,
and their fat, and the right thigh,
26 (Ex 29:23) and out of the basket of unleavened bread that was before
the Lord he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread,
and one wafer and put them on the fat and on the right thigh.
27 And he put all these on the hands of Aaron and on the hands of his sons
and waved them for a wave offering before the Lord.
28 (Ex 29:25) Then Moses took them from off their hands
and burned them on the altar with the burnt offering.
This was a consecration for a pleasing aroma,
an offering made by fire to the Lord.
29 Moses took the breast and waved it for a wave offering before the Lord.
This part of the ram of consecration was for Moses,
as the Lord commanded Moses.
30 (Nu 3:3; Ex 29:21) Then Moses took some of the anointing oil
and some of the blood which was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aaron,
and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons
with him and sanctified Aaron, and his garments, and his sons,
and the garments of his sons with him.
31 (Ex 29:31–32) Moses said to Aaron and to his sons,
"Boil the flesh at the entrance of the tent of meeting
and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations
just as I commanded, saying, 'Aaron and his sons shall eat it.'
32 (Ex 29:34) That which remains of the flesh
and of the bread you shall burn up.
33 (Ex 29:35) You shall not go out of the door of the tent of meeting
for seven days, until the days of your consecration are at an end,
for your consecration will take seven days.
34 (Heb 7:16) As he has done this day, so the Lord has commanded
what is to be done to make atonement for you.
35 (Nu 3:7; 9:19) Therefore you shall abide at the entrance of the tent
of meeting day and night for seven days and keep the charge of the Lord
that you do not die, for so I have been commanded."
36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses.
(How blessed are in the Lord for being part of the priesthood?)
LEVITICUS 9
The Priestly Ministry Begins
1 And it came to pass on the eighth day that Moses called Aaron
and his sons and the elders of Israel.
2 (Lev 4:3; Ex 29:1) Then he said to Aaron, "
Take a young calf for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering,
without blemish, and offer them before the Lord.
3 (Lev 4:23; Ezr 6:17) To the children of Israel you shall speak, saying,
'Take a male goat for a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb-both a year old
without blemish-for a burnt offering,
4 (Ex 29:43; Lev 9:6) also an ox and a ram for peace offerings to sacrifice
before the Lord, and a grain offering mixed with oil.
For today the Lord will appear to you.' "
5 They brought that which Moses commanded before the tent of meeting,
and the entire congregation drew near and stood before the Lord.
6 (Ex 24:16; Lev 9:23) Moses said, "This is the thing which the Lord
commanded that you should do; then the glory of the Lord shall appear to you."
7 (Heb 5:3; 5:1) Then Moses said to Aaron, "Go to the altar,
and offer your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement
for yourself and for the people, and offer the sacrifice of the people,
and make atonement for them, as the Lord commanded."
8 Aaron therefore went to the altar and slaughtered the calf
of the sin offering which was for himself.
9 (Lev 4:6–7; 8:15) The sons of Aaron brought the blood to him,
and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar,
and poured out the blood at the base of the altar.
10 But the fat, the kidneys, and the appendage
above the liver of the sin offering he burned on the altar,
as the Lord commanded Moses.
11 (Lev 4:11–12; 8:17) The flesh and the hide he burned
with fire outside the camp.
12 He slaughtered the burnt offering,
and the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him,
which he sprinkled on the sides of the altar.
13 They presented the burnt offering to him,
with its pieces, and the head, and he burned them on the altar.
14 (Lev 8:21) He then washed the entrails and the legs
and burned them with the burnt offering on the altar.
15 (Lev 4:27–31; 9:3) He brought the people's offering,
and took the goat which was the sin offering for the people,
and slaughtered it, and offered it for sin as the first offering.
16 And he brought the burnt offering
and offered it according to its regulation.
17 (Lev 2:1–2) Then he brought the grain offering,
took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar,
besides the burnt sacrifice of the morning.
18 He slaughtered the ox and the ram as a sacrifice of peace offerings
for the people, and the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him,
which he sprinkled on the sides of the altar,
19 and the fat of the ox and of the ram, the fatty tail,
and that which covers the entrails, and the kidneys,
and the appendage above the liver.
20 They put the fat pieces on the breasts,
and he burned the fat on the altar.
21 (Lev 7:30–34) But the breasts and the right thigh
Aaron waved for a wave offering before the Lord just
as Moses commanded.
22 (Dt 21:5; Lk 24:50) Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people,
and blessed them, and came down from offering the sin offering,
the burnt offering, and peace offerings.
23 (Lev 9:6; Nu 16:19) Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting,
and when they came out they blessed the people,
and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people.
24 (Jdg 6:21; 1Ki 18:38–39) A fire came out from before the Lord,
and it consumed the burnt offering and the fat that were on the altar.
When all the people saw this, they shouted and fell on their faces.
LEVITICUS 10
The Death of Nadab and Abihu
1 (Lev 16:12; Nu 26:61; Ex 24:1) Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron,
each took his censer and put fire in it, and put incense on it,
and offered strange fire before the Lord,
which He did not command them to do.
2 (Nu 26:61; Lev 9:24; Nu 16:35) Then a fire came out from the Lord
and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.
3 (Eze 28:22; Ex 19:22) Then Moses said to Aaron,
"This is what the Lord spoke, saying:
'I will be sanctified
by those who come near Me;
and before all the people
I will be glorified.' "
And Aaron held his peace.
4 (Ex 6:22; 6:18) Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel
the uncle of Aaron, and said to them,
"Come near, and carry your brothers
from before the sanctuary out of the camp."
5 So they went near, and carried them in their tunics
out of the camp as Moses had said.
6 (Nu 16:22; Jos 7:1) Moses said to Aaron,
and to Eleazar and Ithamar his sons,
"Do not let your hair be loosely disheveled,
nor rend your clothes, lest you die,
and lest wrath come upon all the people.
Instead, let your brothers, the whole house of Israel,
mourn the burning which the Lord has caused.
7 (Lev 21:12; Ex 28:41) You shall not go out from the entrance
of the tent of meeting, lest you die, for the anointing oil
of the Lord is upon you." And they did according to the word of Moses.
8 The Lord spoke to Aaron, saying:
9 (Lk 1:15; 1Ti 3:3; Isa 28:7) Do not drink wine nor strong drink,
you or your sons with you, when you go into the tent of meeting,
lest you die. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations,
10 (Lev 11:47; Eze 22:26) so that you may differentiate between what is
holy and common and between what is unclean and clean.
11 (Dt 24:8; Mal 2:7 ) And so you may teach the children of Israel
all the statutes that the Lord has spoken to them by the hand of Moses.
12 (Lev 21:22; Nu 18:9–10) Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar,
his sons who were left: Take the grain offering that remains of the food
offerings of the Lord made by fire
and eat it without leaven beside the altar. For it is most holy.
13 (Lev 2:3; 6:16) And you shall eat it in a holy place, because
it is your due and your sons' due from the food sacrifices of the Lord
made by fire. For so I have been commanded.
14 (Nu 18:11) The breast that is waved and the thigh that is contributed
you shall eat in a clean place, you, and your sons, and your daughters
with you, for they are your due and your sons' due which are given out
of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.
15 (Lev 7:34) The thigh that is contributed and the breast that
is waved they shall bring with the fat pieces of the food offerings
made by fire to wave them as a wave offering before the Lord,
and it shall be yours and your sons' with you as a perpetual statute,
as the Lord has commanded.
16 (Lev 9:3; 9:15) Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering
and saw it was burned up. And he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar,
the sons of Aaron who were left alive, saying,
17 (Ex 28:38; Lev 22:16) "Why have you not eaten the sin offering
in the sacred area, knowing that it is most holy and God has given
it to you to bear the iniquity of the congregation to make atonement
for them before the Lord?
18 (Lev 6:30; 6:26) Its blood was not brought into
the inner part of the sanctuary. Indeed you should have eaten
it in the sanctuary as I commanded."
19 (Lev 9:12; 9:8) Aaron said to Moses, "Today they have offered
their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord,
and such things have happened to me! If I had eaten the sin offering today,
should it have been accepted in the sight of the Lord?"
20 And when Moses heard that, he approved.
2) Our Daily Bread for 15 Feb 2021
https://odb.org/CA/2021/02/15/spitting-image
entitled Spitting Image
Colossians 1:15–23
15 (2Co 4:4; Jn 1:18) He is the image of the invisible God
and the firstborn of every creature.
16 (Jn 1:3; Ro 11:36) For by Him all things were created that are
in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible,
whether they are thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers.
All things were created by Him and for Him.
17 (Jn 8:58; Heb 1:3) He is before all things,
and in Him all things hold together.
18 (Ac 26:23; Eph 1:22-23) He is the head of the body, the church.
He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that in all things
He may have the preeminence.
19 (Jn 1:16; Col 2:9) For it pleased the Father
that in Him all fullness should dwell,
20 (Eph 1:10; Ro 5:1) and to reconcile all things to Himself by Him,
having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him,
I say—whether they are things in earth, or things in heaven.
21 (Eph 2:12) And you, who were formerly alienated
and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled
22 (Ro 7:4; Eph 5:27) in the body of His flesh through death,
to present you holy and blameless and above reproach in His sight,
23 (Eph 3:17; Mk 16:15) if you continue in the faith, grounded and settled,
and are not removed from the hope of the gospel, which you have heard,
and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven,
and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
During an outing, we met a woman who had known my husband's family
since he was a child. She looked from Alan to our son, Xavier.
"He's the spitting image of his daddy," she said. "Those eyes.
That smile. Yep. Looks just like him." As the woman delighted
in acknowledging such a strong resemblance between father and son,
she even noted similarities in their personalities. Still,
though they are alike in many ways, my son doesn't reflect
his father perfectly.
There’s only one Son—Jesus—who reflects His Father completely.
Christ is the "image of the invisible God,
the firstborn over all creation" (Colossians 1:15).
In Him and through Him and for Him all things were created (v. 16).
"He is before all things, and in him all things hold together" (v. 17).
We can spend time in prayer and Bible study, discovering the Father's
character by looking at Jesus-God in the flesh. He invites us to witness
His love in action by examining how He interacts with others in Scripture
and in our day-to-day living. After surrendering our lives to Christ
and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit, we can grow in knowing
and trusting our loving Father. He transforms us to reflect His character,
so we can live for Him.
What a joy it would be if others could say we look just like Jesus!
By: Xochitl Dixon
Reflect & Pray
What character trait of Jesus have you seen cultivated in your life
over the last year? What trait would you like to cultivate in the coming year?
Jesus, please help me know You more as You make me more like You!
3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation
Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 2 - Earning Death
Romans 6:23
23 (Ro 5:12; Ge 2:17; Ro 2:7) For the wages of sin is death,
but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
"I only want my rights," declares the belligerant Big Ghost, one of the
characters in C. S. Lewis's classic, The Great Divorce. "I'm not asking
for anybody's bleeding charity."
"Then do. At once," his angleic friend Len urges. "Ask for the Bleeding
Charity. Everything is here for the asking and nothing can be bought."
Often we are much like the Ghost in Lewis's tale of heaven and hell.
We want "What we deserve," and being blind to our own sin, we think
we deserve praise, or al least mercy. But Paul is very clear on what
we have coming: "The wages of sin is death".
We work for our wages - we've earned our paycheque, and we deserve it.
We don't have to thank anyone for paying us - it's our due, not a gift.
Similarly, the paycheque issued to us in renumeration for our sin is
what we deserve: death.
Yet, if we are willing to lay aside our pride and accept God's gift,
we can live. "The gift of God is eternal life." Nothing we can do or say
can make us worthy of the gift of life. We are sinners by nature and we
rebel against God in our choices. Yet God, in Christ, offers grace to us,
freedom from sin, liberty from the burden of trying to earn his favour.
Ironically, freedom and peace in the Christian life come not through
justifying ourselves and making ourselves look good, but through
acknowledging the depth of our sin ad our ability to do anything about it.
When we realise that we are trapped in out sinful selves and only
Christ can free us, then we are ready to journey toward grace and freedom.
Application
a) In what way's have I treid to "earn" the gift of eternal life?
b) What can I do to focus on God's grace and realise
that I cannot accomplish my own salvation?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Gal 3:13-14
13 (Dt 21:23; Gal 4:5 )Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law by
being made a curse for us - as it is written,
"Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree" (Dt 21:23.)—
14 (Ac 2:33; Gal 3:2) so that the blessing of Abraham might come
on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise
of the Spirit through faith.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Guiding Presence
Ps 119:105-112
Nun
105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
106 I have sworn, and I will perform it,
that I will keep Your righteous judgments.
107 I am greatly afflicted;
revive me, O Lord, according to Your word.
108 Accept the freewill offerings of my praise, O Lord,
and teach me Your judgments.
109 My soul is continually in my hand,
yet I do not forget Your law.
110 The wicked have laid a trap for me,
yet I do not depart from Your precepts.
111 Your testimonies are my inheritance forever,
for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
112 I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes always,
even unto the end.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Alberta
Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta
Alberta 2015 population 4121700
est Muslim Population 195240
CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton
It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .
Alberta may have a total as hihg as 195240 today.
Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's
become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.
Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the legrest group
coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries
such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.
Muslims are coming to faith in JEsus! They overcome huge spiritual,
emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still
continue, especially in growing in discpleship. They often fell lost in our
Western congreations, and euqally lost trying to find a church body with whom
they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.
Please join us in praying for:
- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.
- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to
Muslim-background believers.
- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially
in their faith and the Church.
- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their
not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.
- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.
- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim
in these growing Muslim population centres.

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

LEVITICUS 8
The Consecration of Aaron and His Sons
Ex 29:1–37
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 (Ex 28:2–4) Take Aaron and his sons with him,
and the garments, and the anointing oil,
and a bull for the sin offering,
and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread,
3 and gather all the congregation together
at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
4 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him,
and the assembly was gathered together
at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
5 Moses said to the congregation,
"This is the thing which the Lord commanded to be done."
6 (Ex 29:4; 1Co 6:11) Moses brought Aaron and his sons
and washed them with water.
7 (Ex 28:4) Then he put the tunic on him, and tied the sash around him,
and clothed him with the robe, and putthe ephod upon him, and he girded
him with the decorative band of the ephod and bound the ephod to him.
8 (Ezr 2:63) He put the breastplate on him. He also put the Urim
and the Thummim in the breastplate.
9 Then he put the turban upon his head.
Also on the turban at the front he put the golden plate,
the holy crown, as the Lord commanded Moses.
10 Moses took the anointing oil,
and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it,
and sanctified them.
11 He sprinkled oil on the altar seven times and anointed the altar
and all its vessels, both the laver and its stand, to sanctify them.
12 (Ex 30:30; Ps 133:2) Then he poured some of the anointing oil
on the head of Aaron and anointed him to sanctify him.
13 (Ex 29:8–9) Moses brought the sons of Aaron and put tunics on them,
and girded them with sashes, and put headbands on them, as the Lord
commanded Moses.
14 (Eze 43:19) He brought the bull for the sin offering,
and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull
for the sin offering.
15 (Lev 4:7) He slaughtered it, and Moses took the blood,
and put it on the horns of the altar around it with his finger,
and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the base of the altar,
and sanctified it to make reconciliation on it.
16 (Ex 29:13) He took all the fat that was on the entrails,
and the appendage above the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat,
and Moses burned them on the altar.
17 (Lev 4:11–12; Ex 29:14) But the bull, and its hide, its flesh,
and its refuse he burned with fire outside the camp,
as the Lord commanded Moses.
18 (Lev 8:2) Then he brought the ram for the burnt offering,
and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.
19 He killed it, and Moses sprinkled the blood on the sides of the altar.
20 He cut the ram into pieces, and Moses burned the head, the pieces,
and the fat.
21 (Ex 29:18) He washed the entrails and the legs in water,
and Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering
for a pleasing aroma, and a food offering made by fire to the Lord,
as the Lord commanded Moses.
22 (Lev 8:2) Next he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration,
and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.
23 (Ex 29:20; Lev 14:14) He slaughtered it, and Moses took some
of its blood and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron,
and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
24 He brought the sons of Aaron, and Moses put some of the blood
on the tips of their right ears, and on the thumbs of their right hands,
and on the big toes of their right feet.
Then Moses sprinkled the blood on the sides of the altar.
25 He took the fat, and the fatty tail, and all the fat that was
on the entrails, and the appendage above the liver, and the two kidneys,
and their fat, and the right thigh,
26 (Ex 29:23) and out of the basket of unleavened bread that was before
the Lord he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread,
and one wafer and put them on the fat and on the right thigh.
27 And he put all these on the hands of Aaron and on the hands of his sons
and waved them for a wave offering before the Lord.
28 (Ex 29:25) Then Moses took them from off their hands
and burned them on the altar with the burnt offering.
This was a consecration for a pleasing aroma,
an offering made by fire to the Lord.
29 Moses took the breast and waved it for a wave offering before the Lord.
This part of the ram of consecration was for Moses,
as the Lord commanded Moses.
30 (Nu 3:3; Ex 29:21) Then Moses took some of the anointing oil
and some of the blood which was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aaron,
and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons
with him and sanctified Aaron, and his garments, and his sons,
and the garments of his sons with him.
31 (Ex 29:31–32) Moses said to Aaron and to his sons,
"Boil the flesh at the entrance of the tent of meeting
and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations
just as I commanded, saying, 'Aaron and his sons shall eat it.'
32 (Ex 29:34) That which remains of the flesh
and of the bread you shall burn up.
33 (Ex 29:35) You shall not go out of the door of the tent of meeting
for seven days, until the days of your consecration are at an end,
for your consecration will take seven days.
34 (Heb 7:16) As he has done this day, so the Lord has commanded
what is to be done to make atonement for you.
35 (Nu 3:7; 9:19) Therefore you shall abide at the entrance of the tent
of meeting day and night for seven days and keep the charge of the Lord
that you do not die, for so I have been commanded."
36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses.
(How blessed are in the Lord for being part of the priesthood?)
LEVITICUS 9
The Priestly Ministry Begins
1 And it came to pass on the eighth day that Moses called Aaron
and his sons and the elders of Israel.
2 (Lev 4:3; Ex 29:1) Then he said to Aaron, "
Take a young calf for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering,
without blemish, and offer them before the Lord.
3 (Lev 4:23; Ezr 6:17) To the children of Israel you shall speak, saying,
'Take a male goat for a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb-both a year old
without blemish-for a burnt offering,
4 (Ex 29:43; Lev 9:6) also an ox and a ram for peace offerings to sacrifice
before the Lord, and a grain offering mixed with oil.
For today the Lord will appear to you.' "
5 They brought that which Moses commanded before the tent of meeting,
and the entire congregation drew near and stood before the Lord.
6 (Ex 24:16; Lev 9:23) Moses said, "This is the thing which the Lord
commanded that you should do; then the glory of the Lord shall appear to you."
7 (Heb 5:3; 5:1) Then Moses said to Aaron, "Go to the altar,
and offer your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement
for yourself and for the people, and offer the sacrifice of the people,
and make atonement for them, as the Lord commanded."
8 Aaron therefore went to the altar and slaughtered the calf
of the sin offering which was for himself.
9 (Lev 4:6–7; 8:15) The sons of Aaron brought the blood to him,
and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar,
and poured out the blood at the base of the altar.
10 But the fat, the kidneys, and the appendage
above the liver of the sin offering he burned on the altar,
as the Lord commanded Moses.
11 (Lev 4:11–12; 8:17) The flesh and the hide he burned
with fire outside the camp.
12 He slaughtered the burnt offering,
and the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him,
which he sprinkled on the sides of the altar.
13 They presented the burnt offering to him,
with its pieces, and the head, and he burned them on the altar.
14 (Lev 8:21) He then washed the entrails and the legs
and burned them with the burnt offering on the altar.
15 (Lev 4:27–31; 9:3) He brought the people's offering,
and took the goat which was the sin offering for the people,
and slaughtered it, and offered it for sin as the first offering.
16 And he brought the burnt offering
and offered it according to its regulation.
17 (Lev 2:1–2) Then he brought the grain offering,
took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar,
besides the burnt sacrifice of the morning.
18 He slaughtered the ox and the ram as a sacrifice of peace offerings
for the people, and the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him,
which he sprinkled on the sides of the altar,
19 and the fat of the ox and of the ram, the fatty tail,
and that which covers the entrails, and the kidneys,
and the appendage above the liver.
20 They put the fat pieces on the breasts,
and he burned the fat on the altar.
21 (Lev 7:30–34) But the breasts and the right thigh
Aaron waved for a wave offering before the Lord just
as Moses commanded.
22 (Dt 21:5; Lk 24:50) Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people,
and blessed them, and came down from offering the sin offering,
the burnt offering, and peace offerings.
23 (Lev 9:6; Nu 16:19) Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting,
and when they came out they blessed the people,
and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people.
24 (Jdg 6:21; 1Ki 18:38–39) A fire came out from before the Lord,
and it consumed the burnt offering and the fat that were on the altar.
When all the people saw this, they shouted and fell on their faces.
LEVITICUS 10
The Death of Nadab and Abihu
1 (Lev 16:12; Nu 26:61; Ex 24:1) Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron,
each took his censer and put fire in it, and put incense on it,
and offered strange fire before the Lord,
which He did not command them to do.
2 (Nu 26:61; Lev 9:24; Nu 16:35) Then a fire came out from the Lord
and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.
3 (Eze 28:22; Ex 19:22) Then Moses said to Aaron,
"This is what the Lord spoke, saying:
'I will be sanctified
by those who come near Me;
and before all the people
I will be glorified.' "
And Aaron held his peace.
4 (Ex 6:22; 6:18) Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel
the uncle of Aaron, and said to them,
"Come near, and carry your brothers
from before the sanctuary out of the camp."
5 So they went near, and carried them in their tunics
out of the camp as Moses had said.
6 (Nu 16:22; Jos 7:1) Moses said to Aaron,
and to Eleazar and Ithamar his sons,
"Do not let your hair be loosely disheveled,
nor rend your clothes, lest you die,
and lest wrath come upon all the people.
Instead, let your brothers, the whole house of Israel,
mourn the burning which the Lord has caused.
7 (Lev 21:12; Ex 28:41) You shall not go out from the entrance
of the tent of meeting, lest you die, for the anointing oil
of the Lord is upon you." And they did according to the word of Moses.
8 The Lord spoke to Aaron, saying:
9 (Lk 1:15; 1Ti 3:3; Isa 28:7) Do not drink wine nor strong drink,
you or your sons with you, when you go into the tent of meeting,
lest you die. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations,
10 (Lev 11:47; Eze 22:26) so that you may differentiate between what is
holy and common and between what is unclean and clean.
11 (Dt 24:8; Mal 2:7 ) And so you may teach the children of Israel
all the statutes that the Lord has spoken to them by the hand of Moses.
12 (Lev 21:22; Nu 18:9–10) Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar,
his sons who were left: Take the grain offering that remains of the food
offerings of the Lord made by fire
and eat it without leaven beside the altar. For it is most holy.
13 (Lev 2:3; 6:16) And you shall eat it in a holy place, because
it is your due and your sons' due from the food sacrifices of the Lord
made by fire. For so I have been commanded.
14 (Nu 18:11) The breast that is waved and the thigh that is contributed
you shall eat in a clean place, you, and your sons, and your daughters
with you, for they are your due and your sons' due which are given out
of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.
15 (Lev 7:34) The thigh that is contributed and the breast that
is waved they shall bring with the fat pieces of the food offerings
made by fire to wave them as a wave offering before the Lord,
and it shall be yours and your sons' with you as a perpetual statute,
as the Lord has commanded.
16 (Lev 9:3; 9:15) Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering
and saw it was burned up. And he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar,
the sons of Aaron who were left alive, saying,
17 (Ex 28:38; Lev 22:16) "Why have you not eaten the sin offering
in the sacred area, knowing that it is most holy and God has given
it to you to bear the iniquity of the congregation to make atonement
for them before the Lord?
18 (Lev 6:30; 6:26) Its blood was not brought into
the inner part of the sanctuary. Indeed you should have eaten
it in the sanctuary as I commanded."
19 (Lev 9:12; 9:8) Aaron said to Moses, "Today they have offered
their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord,
and such things have happened to me! If I had eaten the sin offering today,
should it have been accepted in the sight of the Lord?"
20 And when Moses heard that, he approved.
2) Our Daily Bread for 15 Feb 2021
https://odb.org/CA/2021/02/15/spitting-image
entitled Spitting Image
Colossians 1:15–23
15 (2Co 4:4; Jn 1:18) He is the image of the invisible God
and the firstborn of every creature.
16 (Jn 1:3; Ro 11:36) For by Him all things were created that are
in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible,
whether they are thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers.
All things were created by Him and for Him.
17 (Jn 8:58; Heb 1:3) He is before all things,
and in Him all things hold together.
18 (Ac 26:23; Eph 1:22-23) He is the head of the body, the church.
He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that in all things
He may have the preeminence.
19 (Jn 1:16; Col 2:9) For it pleased the Father
that in Him all fullness should dwell,
20 (Eph 1:10; Ro 5:1) and to reconcile all things to Himself by Him,
having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him,
I say—whether they are things in earth, or things in heaven.
21 (Eph 2:12) And you, who were formerly alienated
and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled
22 (Ro 7:4; Eph 5:27) in the body of His flesh through death,
to present you holy and blameless and above reproach in His sight,
23 (Eph 3:17; Mk 16:15) if you continue in the faith, grounded and settled,
and are not removed from the hope of the gospel, which you have heard,
and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven,
and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
During an outing, we met a woman who had known my husband's family
since he was a child. She looked from Alan to our son, Xavier.
"He's the spitting image of his daddy," she said. "Those eyes.
That smile. Yep. Looks just like him." As the woman delighted
in acknowledging such a strong resemblance between father and son,
she even noted similarities in their personalities. Still,
though they are alike in many ways, my son doesn't reflect
his father perfectly.
There’s only one Son—Jesus—who reflects His Father completely.
Christ is the "image of the invisible God,
the firstborn over all creation" (Colossians 1:15).
In Him and through Him and for Him all things were created (v. 16).
"He is before all things, and in him all things hold together" (v. 17).
We can spend time in prayer and Bible study, discovering the Father's
character by looking at Jesus-God in the flesh. He invites us to witness
His love in action by examining how He interacts with others in Scripture
and in our day-to-day living. After surrendering our lives to Christ
and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit, we can grow in knowing
and trusting our loving Father. He transforms us to reflect His character,
so we can live for Him.
What a joy it would be if others could say we look just like Jesus!
By: Xochitl Dixon
Reflect & Pray
What character trait of Jesus have you seen cultivated in your life
over the last year? What trait would you like to cultivate in the coming year?
Jesus, please help me know You more as You make me more like You!
3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation
Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 2 - Earning Death
Romans 6:23
23 (Ro 5:12; Ge 2:17; Ro 2:7) For the wages of sin is death,
but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
"I only want my rights," declares the belligerant Big Ghost, one of the
characters in C. S. Lewis's classic, The Great Divorce. "I'm not asking
for anybody's bleeding charity."
"Then do. At once," his angleic friend Len urges. "Ask for the Bleeding
Charity. Everything is here for the asking and nothing can be bought."
Often we are much like the Ghost in Lewis's tale of heaven and hell.
We want "What we deserve," and being blind to our own sin, we think
we deserve praise, or al least mercy. But Paul is very clear on what
we have coming: "The wages of sin is death".
We work for our wages - we've earned our paycheque, and we deserve it.
We don't have to thank anyone for paying us - it's our due, not a gift.
Similarly, the paycheque issued to us in renumeration for our sin is
what we deserve: death.
Yet, if we are willing to lay aside our pride and accept God's gift,
we can live. "The gift of God is eternal life." Nothing we can do or say
can make us worthy of the gift of life. We are sinners by nature and we
rebel against God in our choices. Yet God, in Christ, offers grace to us,
freedom from sin, liberty from the burden of trying to earn his favour.
Ironically, freedom and peace in the Christian life come not through
justifying ourselves and making ourselves look good, but through
acknowledging the depth of our sin ad our ability to do anything about it.
When we realise that we are trapped in out sinful selves and only
Christ can free us, then we are ready to journey toward grace and freedom.
Application
a) In what way's have I treid to "earn" the gift of eternal life?
b) What can I do to focus on God's grace and realise
that I cannot accomplish my own salvation?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Gal 3:13-14
13 (Dt 21:23; Gal 4:5 )Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law by
being made a curse for us - as it is written,
"Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree" (Dt 21:23.)—
14 (Ac 2:33; Gal 3:2) so that the blessing of Abraham might come
on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise
of the Spirit through faith.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Guiding Presence
Ps 119:105-112
Nun
105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
106 I have sworn, and I will perform it,
that I will keep Your righteous judgments.
107 I am greatly afflicted;
revive me, O Lord, according to Your word.
108 Accept the freewill offerings of my praise, O Lord,
and teach me Your judgments.
109 My soul is continually in my hand,
yet I do not forget Your law.
110 The wicked have laid a trap for me,
yet I do not depart from Your precepts.
111 Your testimonies are my inheritance forever,
for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
112 I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes always,
even unto the end.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Alberta
Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta
Alberta 2015 population 4121700
est Muslim Population 195240
CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton
It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .
Alberta may have a total as hihg as 195240 today.
Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's
become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.
Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the legrest group
coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries
such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.
Muslims are coming to faith in JEsus! They overcome huge spiritual,
emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still
continue, especially in growing in discpleship. They often fell lost in our
Western congreations, and euqally lost trying to find a church body with whom
they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.
Please join us in praying for:
- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.
- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to
Muslim-background believers.
- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially
in their faith and the Church.
- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their
not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.
- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.
- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim
in these growing Muslim population centres.

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .
