FROM THE PRIEST'S PERSPECTIVE (LEV.7)
PRIESTS: THE ASCENDING-NEAR OFFERING
Then Yahusha said to Moses, “Give Aaron and his sons the following instructions regarding THE ASCENDING-NEAR OFFERING. It must be left on top of the altar until the next morning, and the fire on the altar must be kept burning all night. In the morning, after the priest on duty has put on his official linen clothing and linen pants, he must clean out the ashes of THE ASCENDING-NEAR OFFERING and put them beside the altar. Then he must take off these garments, change back into his regular clothes, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a place that is clean.
YISHARAL LEFT EGYPT RICH WITH TONS & TONS OF GOLD & SILVER AND CONTINUED TRADING WITH THE SURROUNDING NATIONS FOR FINE LINENS, PRECIOUS METALS, HOUSEHOLD & SACRIFICIAL ITEMS.
Meanwhile, the fire on the altar must be kept burning AND must never go out. Each morning the priest will add fresh wood to the fire and arrange THE ASCENDING-NEAR OFFERING on it. He will then burn the fat of the INTIMATE-PEACE OFFERING on it. Remember, the fire must be kept burning on the altar at all times and IT MUST NEVER GO OUT !!!
PRIESTS: THE LOVE-GRAIN OFFERING
Then Yahusha said to Moses, “Give Aaron further Instructions for the LOVE-GRAIN OFFERING. Aaron’s sons must present this offering to Me in front of the altar. The priest on duty will take from the LOVE-GRAIN OFFERING a handful of the choice flour SEMOLINA moistened with olive oil, together with all the frankincense. He will burn this portion of remembrance on the altar as a pleasing aroma for Me. Aaron and his sons may eat the rest of the flour, but it must be baked without yeast and eaten in a special place within the courtyard of the Tabernacle. Remember, it must never be prepared with yeast. I have given it to the priests as their share of the special love-gift presented to Me. JUST like the PURIFYING OFFERING and the FORGIVENESS OFFERING, it is most Set-Apart. Any of Aaron’s male descendants may eat from the special gifts presented to Me.
THE TRIBE OF LEVI PERFORMED MANY TASKS INVOLVING THE TABERNACLE BUT ONLY A BLOOD-DESCENDANT OF AARON COULD BE A PRIEST.
This is their permanent right from generation to generation for anyone (or anything) that touches these offerings will become Set-Apart.”
YAHUSHA’S ESSENCE & ESTEEM IS CONTAGIOUS (RADIO-ACTIVE)...STARTING FROM THE FIRE ON THE BRAZEN ALTAR.
On the day Aaron and his sons are anointed, they must present to Me the standard LOVE-GRAIN OFFERING of 2.2 Litres of choice flour SEMOLINA half to be offered in the morning and half to be offered in the evening. It must be carefully mixed with olive oil and cooked on a griddle. Then slice this LOVE-GRAIN OFFERING and present it as a pleasing aroma for Me. In each generation, the High Priest who succeeds Aaron must prepare this same offering for it belongs to Me and must be burned up completely. This is a permanent Instruction. All such LOVE-GRAIN OFFERINGS FROM A PRIEST must be burned up entirely. None of it may be eaten.”
PRIESTS: THE PURIFYING OFFERING
Then Yahusha said to Moses, “Give Aaron and his sons the following instructions regarding the PURIFYING OFFERING. The animal given as an offering for disobedience is a most Set-Apart offering, and it must be slaughtered in My presence at the place where the ASCENDING-NEAR OFFERINGS are slaughtered. The priest who offers the sacrifice as a PURIFYING OFFERING must eat his portion in a special place within the courtyard of the Tabernacle. ANYONE OR ANYTHING THAT TOUCHES THE SACRIFICIAL MEAT WILL BECOME SET-APART. AND IF THE “WHATEVER” IS NOT SET-APART AND COMES INTO CONTACT WITH SOMETHING SET-APART, IT WILL BE DESTROYED.
If any of the sacrificial blood spatters on a person’s clothing, the soiled garment must be washed in a special place. If a clay pot is used to boil the sacrificial meat, it must then be broken (POROUS). If a bronze pot is used, it must be scoured and thoroughly rinsed with water. Any male from a priest’s family may eat from this offering for it is most set-apart, but the PURIFYING OFFERING may not be eaten if its blood was brought into the Tabernacle as an offering to make atonement in the Set-Apart Place. It must be completely burned with fire.
PRIESTS: THE FORGIVENESS OFFERING
“These are the instructions for the FORGIVENESS OFFERING. It is most set-apart. The animal sacrificed must be slaughtered at the place where the ASCENDING-NEAR OFFERINGS are slaughtered, and its blood must be splattered against all sides of the altar. The priest will then offer all its fat on the altar, including all the fat and internal organs as a special gift presented to Me. This is the FORGIVENESS OFFERING. Any male from a priest’s family may eat the meat. It must be eaten in a special place, for it is most Set-Apart. The same instructions apply to both the FORGIVENESS OFFERING and the PURIFYING OFFERING. Both belong to the priest who uses them to purify someone, making that person right to Me. In the case of the ASCENDING-NEAR OFFERINGS, the priest may keep the hide of the sacrificed animal.
THE PRECIOUS HIDE OF THE ANIMAL WAS NOT TO BE SACRIFICED ON THE BRAZEN ALTAR BUT WAS TO BECOME THE PRIESTS’ PROPERTY FOR BARTERING OR TO SELL FOR MONEY. THE PRINCIPLE BEING ESTABLISHED HERE IS THAT THE NEEDS OF THE PRIESTS WERE TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE CONGREGATION IN THE WILDERNESS…
Any LOVE-GRAIN OFFERING that has been baked in an oven, prepared in a pan, or cooked on a griddle belongs to the priest who presents it. All other LOVE-GRAIN OFFERINGS, whether made of dry flour or moistened with olive oil, are to be shared equally among all the priests, (the descendants of Aaron).
PRIESTS: THE INTIMATE-PEACE OFFERING
These are the instructions regarding the different kinds of INTIMATE-PEACE OFFERINGS that may be presented to Me. If you present your INTIMATE-PEACE OFFERINGS as an expression of thanksgiving, the usual animal sacrifice must be accompanied by various kinds of bread made without yeast (thin cakes mixed with olive oil, wafers spread with oil, and cakes made of choice flour mixed with olive oil). This INTIMATE-PEACE OFFERINGS of thanksgiving must also be accompanied by loaves of bread made with yeast. One of each kind of bread must be presented as a gift to Me. It will then belong to the priest who splatters the blood of the INTIMATE-PEACE OFFERING against the altar.
The meat of the INTIMATE-PEACE OFFERINGS of thanksgiving must be eaten on the same day it’s offered. None of it may be saved for the next morning. If you bring an offering to fulfill a vow or as a voluntary offering, the meat must be eaten on the same day the sacrifice is offered, but whatever is left over may be eaten on the second day. Any meat left over until the third day must be completely burned up. If any of the meat from the INTIMATE-PEACE OFFERINGS is eaten on the third day, the person who presented it will not be accepted by Me. You will receive no credit for offering it. By then the meat will be contaminated so if you eat it, you will be punished for your disobedient behaviour.
Meat that touches anything unclean may not be eaten but must be completely burned up. The rest of the meat may be eaten, but only by people who are clean. So if you are unclean and you eat meat from an INTIMATE-PEACE OFFERING that was presented to Me, you will be cut off from the community of Yisharal. If you touch anything that is unclean (whether human defilement or an unclean animal or any other detestable thing) and then eat meat from an INTIMATE-PEACE OFFERING presented to Me, you will be cut off from the community of Yisharal.
Give the following instructions to the people of Yisharal. You must never eat fat, whether from cattle, sheep, or goats. The fat of an animal found dead or torn to pieces by wild animals must never be eaten, though it may be used for any other purpose. Anyone who eats fat from an animal presented as a special gift to Me will be cut off from the community of Yisharal. No matter where you live, you must never consume the blood of any bird or animal. Anyone who consumes blood will be cut off from the community of Yisharal”.
Then Yahusha said to Moses, “Give the following instructions to the people of Yisharal. When you present an INTIMATE-PEACE OFFERING to Me, bring part of it as a gift to Me. Present it to Me with your own hands as a special gift to Me. Bring the fat of the animal, together with the breast, and lift up the breast as a special offering to Me. Then the priest will burn the fat on the altar, but the breast will belong to Aaron and his descendants. Give the right thigh of your INTIMATE-PEACE OFFERING to the priest as a gift. The right thigh must always be given to the priest who offers the blood and the fat of the INTIMATE-PEACE OFFERING. For I have reserved the breast of the special offering and the right thigh of the sacred offering for the priests.
It is the permanent right of Aaron and his descendants to share in the INTIMATE-PEACE OFFERING brought by the people of Yisharal. This is their rightful share. The special gifts presented to Me have been reserved for Aaron and his descendants from the time they were set apart to serve Me as priests. (On the day they were anointed, YAHUSHA Instructed Yisharal to give these portions to the priests as their permanent share from generation to generation).
