Welcome to BibleStudyMinistry.com, your Online Bible Study Supplement Source. In the beginner days of this online ministry, we would read the Bible from front to back, Genesis to Revelation in 90 days, and rinse and repeat. We had most of our notes and comments in notebooks. Then we decided to put it online. It is part of how the ministry was born. Here is Day Eight of reading through the scriptures.
The reading for today (day 8) is primarily going to show us the ministry practices of the Levites who are the tribe of Levi and what their job was. The Levitical Order was established because the people refused to simply hear the voice of their Maker. This secondary priesthood was established as a schoolmaster. It comes with a lot; let us see what we can get out of today’s reading.
When someone sins against the Almighty they are required to bring an animal to sacrifice for their sin. This is done in order to make an atonement for them.
Although, as we learn in Hebrews, the animal sacrifice did not remove sins but instead was designed to slow one down from continuous sinning.
It’s like paying a traffic violation today will slow you down from breaking traffic laws. It’s because the fines will mount and eventually your privilege to drive will be taken.
Chapter 4
The Levites offered the burnt offering, meat offering, and peace offering to the Almighty. And no one is supposed to eat the fat or consume the blood of an animal that is sacrificed. This was for all our generations to follow.
Leviticus chapter four shows us the entire practice of the Law of Animal Sacrifice. Each man who sins is required to bring a bullock to the priest, and the priest is also required to bring his own bullock for his sin. When the priest kills the animal and takes the blood by dipping his finger in it, he does this to sprinkle the blood on the veil. He is directed to sprinkle the blood seven times on the veil.
Are you following this?
Then they, the priests, are commanded to take the bullock away from the camp and burn it on wood. This is the sin offering. The sin offering is symbolic of or represents the Holy Anointed Son, whom the world calls Jesus Christ, but in the natural language, he is Msindisi the Anointed. The Anointed Son, without question, became the actual sin offering (which scriptures state was a shadow of good things to come).
The Almighty has it that when a man sins unaware, once he is aware of his transgression, he shall confess it. After his confession, which is repentance, he begins to correct the matter. This begins, in the Levitical Order, with the man to make atonement for that sin. The Almighty allows sin through ignorance or sin that was not performed purposely. If anyone sinned willfully, there were never pardons for such behavior.
This was also another rule; that whatever was left of the burnt offering, Aaron and his sons would consume. Skeptics would say, “Isn’t that convenient for the family of Aaron? Well, that’s a pretty good deal for the priest. However, the priest has no inheritance outside the fact they belong to the God of Akobe (Jacob).
Leviticus chapter 7 introduces the trespass offering.
The trespass offering must be eaten by all the male priests. Again; we’re reminded not to consume the blood or fat. If this is done, we will be cut off from our people.
In chapter 8 Moses anointed Aaron and his sons before the entire congregation. He poured the oil upon the head of Aaron (David wrote about in Psalm 133). Moses also anointed the Temple in front of the entire camp, and they did all things the Almighty commanded. They did it by the hand or orchestrating of Moses.
Moses again commanded Aaron to prepare the sin offering. He had to do it in the presence of the people on the eighth day. This was after seven days of consecration that the glory of the Almighty would appear unto the people.
Nadab and Abihu
After Aaron sacrificed the sin offering, the glory of the Almighty came down in a fire. It consumed the fat on the altar in the presence of the congregation. The people shouted and were afraid as they fell to the ground on their faces. The Almighty is powerful, forcing the people to bow and take the ordinance they requested seriously.
In Leviticus 10 Nadab and Abihu, the oldest sons of Aaron went to sleep on the job. They either slept or displayed a lack of focus because allowed the fire that was to burn continually to go out. And instead of informing Moses and Aaron to know about it, they attempted to offer strange fire before the Almighty. The event turned tragic. A fire burst out and devoured them, and they died before the Almighty.
Moses then told Aaron that this is what the Almighty meant when He said He would be set apart by those who come near Him. In other words, pay attention when you are dealing with the Almighty. The priests have been set apart to do a task and they must do it circumspect. Moses also told Aaron and his remaining sons not to mourn or lament, but to let the congregation do the mourning for their death.
Dietary Law of Chapter 11
The Almighty Creator is a tough Being. He’s an accountable Being. This is why He wouldn’t allow them to lament. This was followed up as the Almighty conveyed to Aaron not to drink wine or strong drinks when they went into the congregation. We (BSM) presume this is what Nadab and Abihu did for them to allow the continuing fire to go out. So now there is no more drinking in the Tabernacle for priests who are on duty.
The dietary law is what is written in Leviticus chapter 11. Of land-based animals the animal that chews the cud AND divides the hoof, is clean. In the water, the sons and daughters of Akobe are allowed to eat animals with fins AND scales, like tuna & salmon.
But as for things in the water like shrimp, octopus, Squidward, lobster, and catfish, they are no good for the house of Akobe. They will cause them and you and I today to become unclean. The birds are named out to read. Eagles, vultures ducks, and geese are not permitted among other fowls of the air.
Be Holy
The Almighty requires all people, especially His people to be holy. He wants us to be holy because He is Holy. A Father desires his son to be as he is. And we are not supposed to make ourselves unclean by eating abominable foods.
Leviticus chapter 12 dialogues about the cleanness or uncleanness of childbirth. We bet people did not know about these things here. All women who have a new child, male or female, should read and perform the tellings of this chapter.
Leviticus chapter 13 goes into clean and unclean leprosy and what to do about it. It is called the law of leprosy. This was some difficult reading but it is great to learn and know. It is good to know so you don’t go sacrificing animals as your sin offering because the Anointed Son is the sin offering.
Also, we now are aware of what animals we can consume and which ones to leave alone. We will deal with the rest of Leviticus, the way of Levi, the priest to the children of Akobe, who are the priest to the nations.

Day Nine
On day nine, we went into Leviticus chapter 15 through chapter 26. Chapter 15 is about uncleanness issues. Issues are like blood or other open sores upon the body.
If anyone touched anyone unclean or touched anything the unclean person touched, they are unclean. Feels like a game of tag or the old TV show, The Walking Dead. If anyone became unclean, they had to wash with water and they would remain uncleaned until the evening, which is a new day.
The seed of copulation is the semen that is ejaculated from the body. When this happens, the man is required to take a shower and remain unclean until the evening. So when a man has intercourse with his wife, he is required to take a shower when he is done. He would be ceremonially unclean until the evening. And any woman who has her menstrual cycle, during those seven days, is unclean and anyone who touches her is unclean also. The children of Akobe had to be thrilled with the ceremonial laws the Levites brought to them at their request.
Chapter 16 of Levi
In chapter 16 Moses conveyed to Aaron a message from the Great Creator. The message was that Aaron should not come into the Most Holy place at any time or whenever he wanted. He would only go there just once a year on the Day of Atonement. This chapter, explains the order of Atonement Day.
Aaron was required to make an atonement for himself and his family. Then he had to do the same for the children of Akobe also. This is the same for the Anointed Son, our High Priest. He must make an atonement for His family the House of Abram, Isaaka, and Akobe, as well as all the sons of Adam.
Now, this is for the sin offering. Aaron would get two goats, and kill one. The sacrificed goat was for the sins of the people; the other goat was kept alive. Then he and all the elders and priests would lay their hands on the head of the live goat. They would do this symbolically by placing all the sins of the people on the head of the live goat.
The G.O.A.T … is it MJ, LeBron, or the Anointed Son?
The live goat was called the scapegoat. The scapegoat took the blame for the sins of all the people. Then the priests took the goat into a land not inhabited and did so by the hand of a fit man.
Both these goats represent the Anointed Son. The goat that died, died for the sins of the people. This is Msindisi the Anointed, who was murdered by the Pharisees, and Romans. The scapegoat represents the Anointed being raised from the dead and being taken to a land not inhabited by man.
This land is Heaven on the right hand of the Father, the Kingdom being prepared. The scapegoat had all the iniquity of the people on his head, as the Anointed did. This is done on the Day of Atonement which is a Holy Day required to be observed forever, once a year.
Well Done, Please!
In today’s readings, we are reminded not to eat the blood of the animal. The life of the flesh is in the blood. And the Creator has given His son’s blood as a sacrifice for all of His children. We should not consume blood but put ourselves under the blood spiritually. Which is symbolic of putting ourselves under the teachings of the Anointed Son.
It is the blood that makes atonement for our sins. Therefore, no son of Akobe, nor stranger should consume blood. In other words, cook your meat well-done people. The Almighty then conveys to the people to keep His ordinances and judgments. Avoid the ways of the people of Canaan and of the people of Egypt (two countries the Almighty destroyed because of their behavior and rituals).
The Egyptians and Canaanites must have had relationships where fathers slept with daughters or daughters-in-law, sons slept with mothers, and things like that, they committed adultery, and sacrificed their children in the fire. Thus the Almighty prohibited these things.
Interesting Bible Reading Leviticus and Numbers
The act of homosexuality is called abominable. This is where a man lies with another man as the man lies with a woman. This was prohibited and the same for women with women. This is an abomination in the Levitical Order and this is why the children of Akobe today are against allowing this openly in their nations. In addition to this, women are not permitted to be with beasts, and neither should men. Why? Because it is confusion.
These things the nations before the House of Akobe took the land. Thus they were thrown out of the land for it. Keep the ways of the Almighty.
Chapter 19 opens up with the Creator reminding us to fear our parents and keep the Sabbaths. This is because the Almighty is the Master. We are commanded to listen and obey Him. We are required to keep the Almighty’s commandments at all times.
To be real straight with it, we are not even supposed to hate our brother in our minds. We are supposed to love our neighbor as ourselves. This is not just in Matthew chapter 5 with the ‘Beatitudes’ but here in Leviticus chapter 19.
26, Ye shall not eat anything with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.
We are reminded not the eat anything with the blood in it; neither are we to go to psychics or so-called wizards.
28, Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
To me, this sounds like we are not supposed to cut our flesh for the dead, nor print any marks on ourselves. Print marks are tattoos?
30, Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
Keep the sabbaths, here it is again.
The Sabbath day is a big thing to the Almighty, and very important and dear to Him; so it should be to us as well.
31, Regard, not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.
We should also avoid people who say they can speak with the dead. Those are familiar spirits, you will be defiled by them as King Saul was. We are supposed to respect our elders and treat strangers who want to live among us in the land respectfully.
Here we have some judgments for breaking the the Almighty’s commandments. If anyone went after Mol*ch to serve Mol*ch, such a person shall die. And if a man knows that another man is doing this and turns his eye, he also shall be put to death. In other words, servants of the Great Creator cannot condone unrighteousness.
Children are commanded to honor their parents. If they curse their parents, the child shall die. A man or woman who commits adultery shall die. It is pretty simple stuff that we should all feel good about keeping even today.
Rules for Priests
A priest can not go around dead bodies unless it is his mother, father, children, brother, or sister who has not been married. A Priest was and is allowed to MARRY A WIFE, unlike the Catholic organization. However, his wife must be a virgin and must be among his own people.
In Leviticus chapter 23, the feasts of the Almighty are outlined. The sabbath day is a day of rest. The 14th day, in the evening, is the Passover, and the 15th day is the first night of the feast of Unleavened bread. This feast lasts for seven days, and on the 7th day, it is a Sabbath and feast in the evening.
Then seven Sabbaths after the Sabbath following the last day of the feast of unleavened bread plus one day, is the feast of weeks. Sometimes today it is what is called Pentecost. It is a high Sabbath day and feast, it is a statute forever in all our dwellings.
The Seventh Month of the Year
The seventh month on the first day of the month is the Memorial of Blowing of Trumpets, it is a Sabbath day. Also, on the tenth day of the seventh month is the Day of Atonement; we are required to afflict ourselves or fast (food and water), and it is a Sabbath day.
Then on the 15th day of the seventh month is the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days. The first day is a Sabbath day and feast. Also, the Eighth Day is a Sabbath and feast. We won’t go into the meaning of these, but they are the feast of the Almighty of Akobe. They are not just for the Jewish world today or the Jews.
Leviticus chapter 25 outlines the Jubilee where everything is freed and should return to every man to his possession. The Jubilee takes place every 50th year. The trumpet should be blown on the 10th day of the seventh month (the day of atonement – important).
Harsh Admonishments
Chapter 26 provides the children of Akobe with a warning of either enrichments (blessings) or curses. If they listen they would be enriched. If they do not listen to the Almighty, and discontinue in His covenant, curses. They could walk with the Almighty and He would walk with them. Or they can walk contrary to the Almighty, and He would similarly walk contrary to them too.
And His soul would hate them; yes the Almighty can hate. The Almighty would scatter the children of Akobe among the nations if they did not keep His commandments.
These commandments are very serious.
Day Ten
On day 10 of reading through the Bible, we begin in the 27th chapter of Leviticus. Chapter 27 is where we begin reading about vows. It is extremely serious to speak what you know and stay to your word. The Almighty will hold us to our vows. Therefore, be mindful of what we utter out of our mouths.
As we dive into the book of Numbers, we see Moses acquiring orders from the Creator to form the Army for the Bantu (Akobe). Men who are able and are twenty years and up were able to go to war. Similar to how it is done in the US where men and women must be 18 years of age to enroll in the military.
This was accomplished in the wilderness out on Mt. Sinai. The total in the army was 603,550 men; that’s a great army covering a great number of people. The Almighty makes it known that Aaron and his sons are the chiefs of the Levite tribe.
Firstborns
The Levites were given to Aaron to assist in running the priestly office. The Levites all belong to the Almighty. When He killed the firstborn of all the Egyptians, He took all the firstborn of the children of Akobe for His own.
So; if you have male children, the firstborn belongs to the Almighty. However, the Almighty took the Levites as His, in exchange for their firstborn whom He redeemed by passing over your house in Egypt. Does this make sense?
Numbers chapter 4 notes the age a man must be to do the work in the congregation. They have to be 30 to start their ministry or to participate in the ministry. This is the reason the Anointed Son waited till He was at least 30 years of age.
Christ Followed the Rules for the Rules Sake
He waited for the legal age before He began healing and teaching in Jerusalema and another coast of Akobe and even waited till then to be baptized. Again, if a man was 50 years of age and decided to get into the ministry, he just barely made it.
I found chapter five interesting. If a man felt his wife was cheating on him with another man, and he had the ‘spirit of jealousy’ he could take her before the priest. He would have the priests perform a ritual conducted over her before the Almighty.
Men today wouldn’t have to run behind their wives with investigators if this was still around. No need for a show called Cheaters for men or women. Just bring them before a priest. If she was found guilty it was bad news for her.
Nazarite Vow:
If you make a vow to be a Nazarite; a man or woman, they must not cut their locks. Neither were they to come near a dead body no matter who it was. As a Nazarites, they must not drink wine or strong drink, nor eat grapes. They must keep this up until the days of the separation and vow be finished.
Chapter seven in Leviticus recaps the twelve tribes and their offering unto the Almighty for the dedication of the Altar. Many offerings were brought, and when they were finished Moses went into the Tabernacle to meet with the Creator.
He heard a voice coming from off the Mercy Seat from where the Ark of the Covenant lay between the cherubims. He spoke with Moses and Moses with the Almighty Creator.
This shows that the Creator was clearly on the earth.
Even more, it shows He was among the children of Akobe dwelling among them.
To end in chapter eight for today; we’re reminded that the Levites are the Almighty’s in exchange for our firstborn (males) and that the Creator gave the Levites to Aaron as a gift to do the service of the congregation.
The Almighty has an excellent system set up all leading to the Anointed Son. It is just that man has successfully turned the system around.
=
Day Eleven
We will start in Numbers 9 where the Almighty reminded Moses to tell the children of Akobe to keep the Passover in its appointed season. This appointed season is the 14th day of the first month.
The children of Akobe had to keep this ordinance when the Almighty commanded. Not whenever they chose to keep the Passover. The same still goes for us today. Then the Almighty gave reasons where someone could take the Passover. This was in case they missed it during the first month due to being unclean.
This was the rule for the stranger and son of Akobe; one law for all. It is not as many presents today where there is one law for the children of Akobe and one for the Gentiles, Christians, or non-Jews! We all have the same laws given by one Creator.
Moses Praying for the People
In chapter 10 the Almighty gave the children of Akobe a ‘fire drill’ if a war took place. The priest would sound the trumpet to alert the people of possible trouble or war.
Also in this chapter, the people began to cry against the Almighty. It displeased the Almighty. He was so disappointed He set a fire and burned many of them in the camp. It was not until they cried to Moses who prayed unto the Almighty for them.
Moses was even fed up with the people because they complained to him all the time. They complained or murmured about every little thing and lust. So the Almighty gave the spirit (the mind) that was upon Moses to 70 other men to know about the Creator the way Moses did.
And the Almighty promised to give them enough meat that they will be sick of it. The Almighty sent a great plague. The people who lusted after the meat either choked on it and died or died from pestilence from eating the meat. That is something, they wanted a steak so bad, and when they got it they ate it and choked on it and died. Message; Stop Complaining.
Death of Miriam and Aaron
In chapter 12 Miriam and Aaron, Moses’s brother and sister, began to speak against Moses. They voiced the question, “Has the Creator only spoken to Moses? In addition, they were upset Moses married an Ethiopian. This was because Akobe was supposed to marry within and not to strangers, many believed.
So the Almighty called an urgent meeting and told them that Moses was “the man!” Moses is that guy so the Almighty punished Miriam by turning her leprous, white as snow?
A Lot to Learn Bible Reading Leviticus and Numbers
Miriam had to be dark-skinned for this to be a great punishment. The meek man Moses prayed for her to have the plague stopped and it was gone after 7 days. Message? Do not talk against the servants of the Almighty, the Almighty may be listening to your conversation.
The children of Akobe, in chapter 13, began to send spies into the land of Canaan. They sought to see about the people and the richness of the land before they ambushed the people and dealt with them. The spies were sent south from the wilderness of Paran. On your own, look up the wilderness of Paran in comparison to the land of Canaan. How could that be south? Nevertheless, they gave a good report of the land, but they feared the people. All except Caleb and Joshua, who told the people to go up and take the land because they could do it with their Almighty.
The people complained about going to war and taking the land. They said it would have been better to stay in Egypt where they were serving as slaves and worshiping pagan gods.
Please, No Complaining
The Almighty does not like complainers. Therefore, catch yourself when you are complaining about your situation. Also, the Almighty decided to kill all the people and make a great nation after Moses. This way, He would still keep His covenant with Abram. Remember, all the Creator needed was one male of Abram’s loins.
Before the Almighty acted on His genocidal judgment on the people, Moses interceded. Moses interceded for the people and the Almighty listened to him. However, He would not let the people who saw what He did in Egypt, yet did not believe, to go into the land. The people who murmured against the Almighty from the age of 20 years and above would not get into the land.
Instead, they will fall in the wilderness for 40 years. Unbelievable punishment for murmuring against the Creator who delivered them from bondage; though it was well deserved for a complaining people.
Killed Over the Sabbath Day
Numbers chapter 15 is a reminder of burnt offerings and sin offerings for sins committed. At the end of the chapter, a man was picking up sticks on the Sabbath day. The people jailed him to find out what the Almighty’s judgment was for him. And the Almighty had the congregation kill the man by stoning him.
The Almighty commanded the people to make fringes on their garments. The fringes would have the commandments written on them to remind them of the commandments. They needed to be reminded not to do what they wanted, but to keep the commandments. The Great Creator, for accountability’s sake, had a man killed for polluting the Sabbath day. Therefore, this is a very serious commandment and even more serious judgment in breaking it.
Numbers 16
A man named Korah rose up against Moses charging Moses of being above the people. He charged him this way stating they were all sons of Akobe. And Korah and Dathan charged Moses with making himself the prince over the people. This made Moses very upset; so upset this meek man asked the Creator not to respect their offering.
Then Moses spoke to show who the Almighty appointed. The results were harsh. The Almighty had the earth opened and consumed Korah, Dathan, and Abiram as well as all that they own (wives and children included). Included were the 250 men who challenged Moses, the Almighty sent fire and burned them up.
Look at how jealousy and envy can destroy a man. I have to say it again; do not speak against the Almighty’s servants, the Creator may deal with you harshly for that. After all of this, the children of Akobe charged Moses with killing the people of the Almighty. Can you believe this?
Death of a Lot of People
When I read it, it looked like the earth consumed them; more so, it looked like they consumed themselves for talking against Moses. The Almighty was very angry with these people and urged Moses to move aside so He could kill this congregation in one moment.
That is instantaneous.
Even with Moses’ interceding and pleading for the people, still, 14,700 people died because jealous men thought to speak against Moses. Unbeknownst to many people, speaking against the servant of the Almighty is speaking against the Almighty.
Now in Numbers 17, the Almighty had to show who He was with by making Aaron’s rod bud and bringing forth almond. His rod was brought as a testimony to the people to show who the Creator had made a priest.
Numbers 18 had the sons of Levi given to Aaron.
19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Akobe offer unto the Almighty, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute forever: it is a covenant of salt forever before the Almighty unto thee and to thy seed with thee.
20 And the Almighty spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Akobe.
The sons of Levi had no inheritance in the land, as we spoke of earlier. No inheritance, they didn’t have homes and businesses that were their own. They received a 10th from the children of Akobe and they performed the charge of the priest’s office. This is a covenant of salt forever. No stranger can come near Levi’s things; this very well includes the other tribes of Akobe.
In Numbers 20 Miriam died and was buried. The people charged Moses and Aaron for not providing water and a good life for them. The people felt that they were promised the good life which they thought they had in Egypt. The Great Creator instructed Moses on what to do to get them water.
He was to speak to the rock, but instead, Moses was angry with the people saying, “Hear you rebels, must we give you water to drink,” and he hit the rock twice. The Creator was upset with Moses for his anger and for not sanctifying the Almighty before the people.
Waters of Meribah
Moses and Aaron rebelled against the Almighty’s word at the waters of Meribah. That is why they were not allowed into the land of promise. There in Meribah, Aaron died and Eleazar his son, took over the priest’s office.
In chapter 21, the people complained again and the Almighty sent fiery serpents to bite the people and many died. When they repented, Moses prayed but the Creator did something for people to exercise their faith.
He had Moses build a stick and make a snake of brass and if the people looked upon the snake they would be healed. If they did not, they would indeed die. This is the faith we are supposed to have when we go into most hospitals today. Most hospitals have the snake on a stick today as you enter.
A lot to Take In
Then Akobe went in and knocked off the Amorites and took their land. What did we learn today? We learned that murmuring and complaining are not acceptable.
In the Bible, it says ask and ye shall receive. So if these people wanted meat, they should have gone to their chief to ask Moses if they could have meat in some way. Or they could simply pray to the Creator who took them out of Egypt to provide their meat.
But to complain and murmur is less than childish and is disrespectful, especially when so much has been done for them. This is a summary of our reading from days eight and nine; Glory to the King of kings.

Bible Reading Leviticus and Numbers
Welcome to BibleStudyMinistry.com, your Online Bible Study Supplement Source. In the beginner days of this online ministry, we would read the Bible from front to back, Genesis to Revelation in 90 days, and rinse and repeat. We had most of our notes and comments in notebooks. Then we decided to put it online. It is part of how the ministry was born. Here is Day Eight of reading through the scriptures.
The reading for today (day 8) is primarily going to show us the ministry practices of the Levites who are the tribe of Levi and what their job was. The Levitical Order was established because the people refused to simply hear the voice of their Maker. This secondary priesthood was established as a schoolmaster. It comes with a lot; let us see what we can get out of today’s reading.
Although, as we learn in Hebrews, the animal sacrifice did not remove sins but instead was designed to slow one down from continuous sinning.
It’s like paying a traffic violation today will slow you down from breaking traffic laws. It’s because the fines will mount and eventually your privilege to drive will be taken.
Chapter 4
The Levites offered the burnt offering, meat offering, and peace offering to the Almighty. And no one is supposed to eat the fat or consume the blood of an animal that is sacrificed. This was for all our generations to follow.
Leviticus chapter four shows us the entire practice of the Law of Animal Sacrifice. Each man who sins is required to bring a bullock to the priest, and the priest is also required to bring his own bullock for his sin. When the priest kills the animal and takes the blood by dipping his finger in it, he does this to sprinkle the blood on the veil. He is directed to sprinkle the blood seven times on the veil.
Are you following this?
Then they, the priests, are commanded to take the bullock away from the camp and burn it on wood. This is the sin offering. The sin offering is symbolic of or represents the Holy Anointed Son, whom the world calls Jesus Christ, but in the natural language, he is Msindisi the Anointed. The Anointed Son, without question, became the actual sin offering (which scriptures state was a shadow of good things to come).
The Almighty has it that when a man sins unaware, once he is aware of his transgression, he shall confess it. After his confession, which is repentance, he begins to correct the matter. This begins, in the Levitical Order, with the man to make atonement for that sin. The Almighty allows sin through ignorance or sin that was not performed purposely. If anyone sinned willfully, there were never pardons for such behavior.
This was also another rule; that whatever was left of the burnt offering, Aaron and his sons would consume. Skeptics would say, “Isn’t that convenient for the family of Aaron? Well, that’s a pretty good deal for the priest. However, the priest has no inheritance outside the fact they belong to the God of Akobe (Jacob).
Leviticus chapter 7 introduces the trespass offering.
The trespass offering must be eaten by all the male priests. Again; we’re reminded not to consume the blood or fat. If this is done, we will be cut off from our people.
In chapter 8 Moses anointed Aaron and his sons before the entire congregation. He poured the oil upon the head of Aaron (David wrote about in Psalm 133). Moses also anointed the Temple in front of the entire camp, and they did all things the Almighty commanded. They did it by the hand or orchestrating of Moses.
Moses again commanded Aaron to prepare the sin offering. He had to do it in the presence of the people on the eighth day. This was after seven days of consecration that the glory of the Almighty would appear unto the people.
Nadab and Abihu
After Aaron sacrificed the sin offering, the glory of the Almighty came down in a fire. It consumed the fat on the altar in the presence of the congregation. The people shouted and were afraid as they fell to the ground on their faces. The Almighty is powerful, forcing the people to bow and take the ordinance they requested seriously.
In Leviticus 10 Nadab and Abihu, the oldest sons of Aaron went to sleep on the job. They either slept or displayed a lack of focus because allowed the fire that was to burn continually to go out. And instead of informing Moses and Aaron to know about it, they attempted to offer strange fire before the Almighty. The event turned tragic. A fire burst out and devoured them, and they died before the Almighty.
Moses then told Aaron that this is what the Almighty meant when He said He would be set apart by those who come near Him. In other words, pay attention when you are dealing with the Almighty. The priests have been set apart to do a task and they must do it circumspect. Moses also told Aaron and his remaining sons not to mourn or lament, but to let the congregation do the mourning for their death.
Dietary Law of Chapter 11
The Almighty Creator is a tough Being. He’s an accountable Being. This is why He wouldn’t allow them to lament. This was followed up as the Almighty conveyed to Aaron not to drink wine or strong drinks when they went into the congregation. We (BSM) presume this is what Nadab and Abihu did for them to allow the continuing fire to go out. So now there is no more drinking in the Tabernacle for priests who are on duty.
The dietary law is what is written in Leviticus chapter 11. Of land-based animals the animal that chews the cud AND divides the hoof, is clean. In the water, the sons and daughters of Akobe are allowed to eat animals with fins AND scales, like tuna & salmon.
But as for things in the water like shrimp, octopus, Squidward, lobster, and catfish, they are no good for the house of Akobe. They will cause them and you and I today to become unclean. The birds are named out to read. Eagles, vultures ducks, and geese are not permitted among other fowls of the air.
Be Holy
The Almighty requires all people, especially His people to be holy. He wants us to be holy because He is Holy. A Father desires his son to be as he is. And we are not supposed to make ourselves unclean by eating abominable foods.
Leviticus chapter 12 dialogues about the cleanness or uncleanness of childbirth. We bet people did not know about these things here. All women who have a new child, male or female, should read and perform the tellings of this chapter.
Leviticus chapter 13 goes into clean and unclean leprosy and what to do about it. It is called the law of leprosy. This was some difficult reading but it is great to learn and know. It is good to know so you don’t go sacrificing animals as your sin offering because the Anointed Son is the sin offering.
Also, we now are aware of what animals we can consume and which ones to leave alone. We will deal with the rest of Leviticus, the way of Levi, the priest to the children of Akobe, who are the priest to the nations.

Day Nine
If anyone touched anyone unclean or touched anything the unclean person touched, they are unclean. Feels like a game of tag or the old TV show, The Walking Dead. If anyone became unclean, they had to wash with water and they would remain uncleaned until the evening, which is a new day.
The seed of copulation is the semen that is ejaculated from the body. When this happens, the man is required to take a shower and remain unclean until the evening. So when a man has intercourse with his wife, he is required to take a shower when he is done. He would be ceremonially unclean until the evening. And any woman who has her menstrual cycle, during those seven days, is unclean and anyone who touches her is unclean also. The children of Akobe had to be thrilled with the ceremonial laws the Levites brought to them at their request.
Chapter 16 of Levi
In chapter 16 Moses conveyed to Aaron a message from the Great Creator. The message was that Aaron should not come into the Most Holy place at any time or whenever he wanted. He would only go there just once a year on the Day of Atonement. This chapter, explains the order of Atonement Day.
Aaron was required to make an atonement for himself and his family. Then he had to do the same for the children of Akobe also. This is the same for the Anointed Son, our High Priest. He must make an atonement for His family the House of Abram, Isaaka, and Akobe, as well as all the sons of Adam.
Now, this is for the sin offering. Aaron would get two goats, and kill one. The sacrificed goat was for the sins of the people; the other goat was kept alive. Then he and all the elders and priests would lay their hands on the head of the live goat. They would do this symbolically by placing all the sins of the people on the head of the live goat.
The G.O.A.T … is it MJ, LeBron, or the Anointed Son?
The live goat was called the scapegoat. The scapegoat took the blame for the sins of all the people. Then the priests took the goat into a land not inhabited and did so by the hand of a fit man.
Both these goats represent the Anointed Son. The goat that died, died for the sins of the people. This is Msindisi the Anointed, who was murdered by the Pharisees, and Romans. The scapegoat represents the Anointed being raised from the dead and being taken to a land not inhabited by man.
This land is Heaven on the right hand of the Father, the Kingdom being prepared. The scapegoat had all the iniquity of the people on his head, as the Anointed did. This is done on the Day of Atonement which is a Holy Day required to be observed forever, once a year.
Well Done, Please!
In today’s readings, we are reminded not to eat the blood of the animal. The life of the flesh is in the blood. And the Creator has given His son’s blood as a sacrifice for all of His children. We should not consume blood but put ourselves under the blood spiritually. Which is symbolic of putting ourselves under the teachings of the Anointed Son.
It is the blood that makes atonement for our sins. Therefore, no son of Akobe, nor stranger should consume blood. In other words, cook your meat well-done people. The Almighty then conveys to the people to keep His ordinances and judgments. Avoid the ways of the people of Canaan and of the people of Egypt (two countries the Almighty destroyed because of their behavior and rituals).
The Egyptians and Canaanites must have had relationships where fathers slept with daughters or daughters-in-law, sons slept with mothers, and things like that, they committed adultery, and sacrificed their children in the fire. Thus the Almighty prohibited these things.
Interesting Bible Reading Leviticus and Numbers
The act of homosexuality is called abominable. This is where a man lies with another man as the man lies with a woman. This was prohibited and the same for women with women. This is an abomination in the Levitical Order and this is why the children of Akobe today are against allowing this openly in their nations. In addition to this, women are not permitted to be with beasts, and neither should men. Why? Because it is confusion.
These things the nations before the House of Akobe took the land. Thus they were thrown out of the land for it. Keep the ways of the Almighty.
Chapter 19 opens up with the Creator reminding us to fear our parents and keep the Sabbaths. This is because the Almighty is the Master. We are commanded to listen and obey Him. We are required to keep the Almighty’s commandments at all times.
To be real straight with it, we are not even supposed to hate our brother in our minds. We are supposed to love our neighbor as ourselves. This is not just in Matthew chapter 5 with the ‘Beatitudes’ but here in Leviticus chapter 19.
We are reminded not the eat anything with the blood in it; neither are we to go to psychics or so-called wizards.
To me, this sounds like we are not supposed to cut our flesh for the dead, nor print any marks on ourselves. Print marks are tattoos?
Keep the sabbaths, here it is again.
The Sabbath day is a big thing to the Almighty, and very important and dear to Him; so it should be to us as well.
We should also avoid people who say they can speak with the dead. Those are familiar spirits, you will be defiled by them as King Saul was. We are supposed to respect our elders and treat strangers who want to live among us in the land respectfully.
Here we have some judgments for breaking the the Almighty’s commandments. If anyone went after Mol*ch to serve Mol*ch, such a person shall die. And if a man knows that another man is doing this and turns his eye, he also shall be put to death. In other words, servants of the Great Creator cannot condone unrighteousness.
Children are commanded to honor their parents. If they curse their parents, the child shall die. A man or woman who commits adultery shall die. It is pretty simple stuff that we should all feel good about keeping even today.
Rules for Priests
A priest can not go around dead bodies unless it is his mother, father, children, brother, or sister who has not been married. A Priest was and is allowed to MARRY A WIFE, unlike the Catholic organization. However, his wife must be a virgin and must be among his own people.
In Leviticus chapter 23, the feasts of the Almighty are outlined. The sabbath day is a day of rest. The 14th day, in the evening, is the Passover, and the 15th day is the first night of the feast of Unleavened bread. This feast lasts for seven days, and on the 7th day, it is a Sabbath and feast in the evening.
Then seven Sabbaths after the Sabbath following the last day of the feast of unleavened bread plus one day, is the feast of weeks. Sometimes today it is what is called Pentecost. It is a high Sabbath day and feast, it is a statute forever in all our dwellings.
The Seventh Month of the Year
The seventh month on the first day of the month is the Memorial of Blowing of Trumpets, it is a Sabbath day. Also, on the tenth day of the seventh month is the Day of Atonement; we are required to afflict ourselves or fast (food and water), and it is a Sabbath day.
Then on the 15th day of the seventh month is the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days. The first day is a Sabbath day and feast. Also, the Eighth Day is a Sabbath and feast. We won’t go into the meaning of these, but they are the feast of the Almighty of Akobe. They are not just for the Jewish world today or the Jews.
Leviticus chapter 25 outlines the Jubilee where everything is freed and should return to every man to his possession. The Jubilee takes place every 50th year. The trumpet should be blown on the 10th day of the seventh month (the day of atonement – important).
Harsh Admonishments
Chapter 26 provides the children of Akobe with a warning of either enrichments (blessings) or curses. If they listen they would be enriched. If they do not listen to the Almighty, and discontinue in His covenant, curses. They could walk with the Almighty and He would walk with them. Or they can walk contrary to the Almighty, and He would similarly walk contrary to them too.
And His soul would hate them; yes the Almighty can hate. The Almighty would scatter the children of Akobe among the nations if they did not keep His commandments.
These commandments are very serious.
Day Ten
On day 10 of reading through the Bible, we begin in the 27th chapter of Leviticus. Chapter 27 is where we begin reading about vows. It is extremely serious to speak what you know and stay to your word. The Almighty will hold us to our vows. Therefore, be mindful of what we utter out of our mouths.
As we dive into the book of Numbers, we see Moses acquiring orders from the Creator to form the Army for the Bantu (Akobe). Men who are able and are twenty years and up were able to go to war. Similar to how it is done in the US where men and women must be 18 years of age to enroll in the military.
This was accomplished in the wilderness out on Mt. Sinai. The total in the army was 603,550 men; that’s a great army covering a great number of people. The Almighty makes it known that Aaron and his sons are the chiefs of the Levite tribe.
Firstborns
The Levites were given to Aaron to assist in running the priestly office. The Levites all belong to the Almighty. When He killed the firstborn of all the Egyptians, He took all the firstborn of the children of Akobe for His own.
So; if you have male children, the firstborn belongs to the Almighty. However, the Almighty took the Levites as His, in exchange for their firstborn whom He redeemed by passing over your house in Egypt. Does this make sense?
Numbers chapter 4 notes the age a man must be to do the work in the congregation. They have to be 30 to start their ministry or to participate in the ministry. This is the reason the Anointed Son waited till He was at least 30 years of age.
Christ Followed the Rules for the Rules Sake
He waited for the legal age before He began healing and teaching in Jerusalema and another coast of Akobe and even waited till then to be baptized. Again, if a man was 50 years of age and decided to get into the ministry, he just barely made it.
I found chapter five interesting. If a man felt his wife was cheating on him with another man, and he had the ‘spirit of jealousy’ he could take her before the priest. He would have the priests perform a ritual conducted over her before the Almighty.
Men today wouldn’t have to run behind their wives with investigators if this was still around. No need for a show called Cheaters for men or women. Just bring them before a priest. If she was found guilty it was bad news for her.
Nazarite Vow:
If you make a vow to be a Nazarite; a man or woman, they must not cut their locks. Neither were they to come near a dead body no matter who it was. As a Nazarites, they must not drink wine or strong drink, nor eat grapes. They must keep this up until the days of the separation and vow be finished.
Chapter seven in Leviticus recaps the twelve tribes and their offering unto the Almighty for the dedication of the Altar. Many offerings were brought, and when they were finished Moses went into the Tabernacle to meet with the Creator.
He heard a voice coming from off the Mercy Seat from where the Ark of the Covenant lay between the cherubims. He spoke with Moses and Moses with the Almighty Creator.
This shows that the Creator was clearly on the earth.
Even more, it shows He was among the children of Akobe dwelling among them.
To end in chapter eight for today; we’re reminded that the Levites are the Almighty’s in exchange for our firstborn (males) and that the Creator gave the Levites to Aaron as a gift to do the service of the congregation.
The Almighty has an excellent system set up all leading to the Anointed Son. It is just that man has successfully turned the system around.
=
Day Eleven
We will start in Numbers 9 where the Almighty reminded Moses to tell the children of Akobe to keep the Passover in its appointed season. This appointed season is the 14th day of the first month.
The children of Akobe had to keep this ordinance when the Almighty commanded. Not whenever they chose to keep the Passover. The same still goes for us today. Then the Almighty gave reasons where someone could take the Passover. This was in case they missed it during the first month due to being unclean.
This was the rule for the stranger and son of Akobe; one law for all. It is not as many presents today where there is one law for the children of Akobe and one for the Gentiles, Christians, or non-Jews! We all have the same laws given by one Creator.
Moses Praying for the People
In chapter 10 the Almighty gave the children of Akobe a ‘fire drill’ if a war took place. The priest would sound the trumpet to alert the people of possible trouble or war.
Also in this chapter, the people began to cry against the Almighty. It displeased the Almighty. He was so disappointed He set a fire and burned many of them in the camp. It was not until they cried to Moses who prayed unto the Almighty for them.
Moses was even fed up with the people because they complained to him all the time. They complained or murmured about every little thing and lust. So the Almighty gave the spirit (the mind) that was upon Moses to 70 other men to know about the Creator the way Moses did.
And the Almighty promised to give them enough meat that they will be sick of it. The Almighty sent a great plague. The people who lusted after the meat either choked on it and died or died from pestilence from eating the meat. That is something, they wanted a steak so bad, and when they got it they ate it and choked on it and died. Message; Stop Complaining.
Death of Miriam and Aaron
In chapter 12 Miriam and Aaron, Moses’s brother and sister, began to speak against Moses. They voiced the question, “Has the Creator only spoken to Moses? In addition, they were upset Moses married an Ethiopian. This was because Akobe was supposed to marry within and not to strangers, many believed.
So the Almighty called an urgent meeting and told them that Moses was “the man!” Moses is that guy so the Almighty punished Miriam by turning her leprous, white as snow?
A Lot to Learn Bible Reading Leviticus and Numbers
Miriam had to be dark-skinned for this to be a great punishment. The meek man Moses prayed for her to have the plague stopped and it was gone after 7 days. Message? Do not talk against the servants of the Almighty, the Almighty may be listening to your conversation.
The children of Akobe, in chapter 13, began to send spies into the land of Canaan. They sought to see about the people and the richness of the land before they ambushed the people and dealt with them. The spies were sent south from the wilderness of Paran. On your own, look up the wilderness of Paran in comparison to the land of Canaan. How could that be south? Nevertheless, they gave a good report of the land, but they feared the people. All except Caleb and Joshua, who told the people to go up and take the land because they could do it with their Almighty.
The people complained about going to war and taking the land. They said it would have been better to stay in Egypt where they were serving as slaves and worshiping pagan gods.
Please, No Complaining
The Almighty does not like complainers. Therefore, catch yourself when you are complaining about your situation. Also, the Almighty decided to kill all the people and make a great nation after Moses. This way, He would still keep His covenant with Abram. Remember, all the Creator needed was one male of Abram’s loins.
Before the Almighty acted on His genocidal judgment on the people, Moses interceded. Moses interceded for the people and the Almighty listened to him. However, He would not let the people who saw what He did in Egypt, yet did not believe, to go into the land. The people who murmured against the Almighty from the age of 20 years and above would not get into the land.
Instead, they will fall in the wilderness for 40 years. Unbelievable punishment for murmuring against the Creator who delivered them from bondage; though it was well deserved for a complaining people.
Killed Over the Sabbath Day
Numbers chapter 15 is a reminder of burnt offerings and sin offerings for sins committed. At the end of the chapter, a man was picking up sticks on the Sabbath day. The people jailed him to find out what the Almighty’s judgment was for him. And the Almighty had the congregation kill the man by stoning him.
The Almighty commanded the people to make fringes on their garments. The fringes would have the commandments written on them to remind them of the commandments. They needed to be reminded not to do what they wanted, but to keep the commandments. The Great Creator, for accountability’s sake, had a man killed for polluting the Sabbath day. Therefore, this is a very serious commandment and even more serious judgment in breaking it.
Numbers 16
A man named Korah rose up against Moses charging Moses of being above the people. He charged him this way stating they were all sons of Akobe. And Korah and Dathan charged Moses with making himself the prince over the people. This made Moses very upset; so upset this meek man asked the Creator not to respect their offering.
Then Moses spoke to show who the Almighty appointed. The results were harsh. The Almighty had the earth opened and consumed Korah, Dathan, and Abiram as well as all that they own (wives and children included). Included were the 250 men who challenged Moses, the Almighty sent fire and burned them up.
Look at how jealousy and envy can destroy a man. I have to say it again; do not speak against the Almighty’s servants, the Creator may deal with you harshly for that. After all of this, the children of Akobe charged Moses with killing the people of the Almighty. Can you believe this?
Death of a Lot of People
When I read it, it looked like the earth consumed them; more so, it looked like they consumed themselves for talking against Moses. The Almighty was very angry with these people and urged Moses to move aside so He could kill this congregation in one moment.
That is instantaneous.
Even with Moses’ interceding and pleading for the people, still, 14,700 people died because jealous men thought to speak against Moses. Unbeknownst to many people, speaking against the servant of the Almighty is speaking against the Almighty.
Now in Numbers 17, the Almighty had to show who He was with by making Aaron’s rod bud and bringing forth almond. His rod was brought as a testimony to the people to show who the Creator had made a priest.
Numbers 18 had the sons of Levi given to Aaron.
The sons of Levi had no inheritance in the land, as we spoke of earlier. No inheritance, they didn’t have homes and businesses that were their own. They received a 10th from the children of Akobe and they performed the charge of the priest’s office. This is a covenant of salt forever. No stranger can come near Levi’s things; this very well includes the other tribes of Akobe.
In Numbers 20 Miriam died and was buried. The people charged Moses and Aaron for not providing water and a good life for them. The people felt that they were promised the good life which they thought they had in Egypt. The Great Creator instructed Moses on what to do to get them water.
He was to speak to the rock, but instead, Moses was angry with the people saying, “Hear you rebels, must we give you water to drink,” and he hit the rock twice. The Creator was upset with Moses for his anger and for not sanctifying the Almighty before the people.
Waters of Meribah
Moses and Aaron rebelled against the Almighty’s word at the waters of Meribah. That is why they were not allowed into the land of promise. There in Meribah, Aaron died and Eleazar his son, took over the priest’s office.
In chapter 21, the people complained again and the Almighty sent fiery serpents to bite the people and many died. When they repented, Moses prayed but the Creator did something for people to exercise their faith.
He had Moses build a stick and make a snake of brass and if the people looked upon the snake they would be healed. If they did not, they would indeed die. This is the faith we are supposed to have when we go into most hospitals today. Most hospitals have the snake on a stick today as you enter.
A lot to Take In
Then Akobe went in and knocked off the Amorites and took their land. What did we learn today? We learned that murmuring and complaining are not acceptable.
In the Bible, it says ask and ye shall receive. So if these people wanted meat, they should have gone to their chief to ask Moses if they could have meat in some way. Or they could simply pray to the Creator who took them out of Egypt to provide their meat.
But to complain and murmur is less than childish and is disrespectful, especially when so much has been done for them. This is a summary of our reading from days eight and nine; Glory to the King of kings.
