Leviticus 16-18
This portion discusses the High Priests duties on the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur.  In this review, we will look at what the function of the High Priest looks like under the Melchizedek priesthood – the priesthood that Yeshua restored that does not require a lineage – Hebrews 7.  We saw in a previous portion that fathers of families are priests under the Melchizedek priesthood by the taking of the an oath, which includes a covenant of life and peace.

Leviticus 12-15
This Torah portion is a summary of the cleanness laws set out in Leviticus 12-15.  For those who missed last week post with a video teaching by Steve Berkson, this teaching covered these four chapters – go HERE to view that teaching.  For many this week is observing the Passover, this seminal event marks the restoration of God’s covenant with His people – the descendants of Jacob.  God initiated this restoration of His people with the father of the home slaughtering a male lamb that represented Israel’s Savior-God.

Leviticus 14-15
Last week’s Torah portion continues to discuss God’s uncleanness laws.  We saw in our previous post that being unclean is not a sin and that uncleanness relates to the corruption in man’s fallen physical body. Further, God has set out in the Law the process to become clean and to regain holiness.  Being clean was required to enter into the Tabernacle and later with the Israel’s Temples where God’s presence dwelt.

Leviticus 12-13
Last weeks Torah portion continues with the theme of uncleanness started in the previous portion.  To some, the concept of being unclean might seem to indicate some sort of nonacceptance of God,  but this is not the intent of the concept of being unclean.  Generally, being unclean is not sin, but relates to the bodily or physical condition of man’s fallen state.  As we will see, all of the uncleanness laws are in some way connected to the fallen nature of man’s physical bodies.  Though no fault of individual action, but is a result of the fall with Adam.  It refers to the corruption in man’s fallen body.
