The<00:35:29.960><c> Levites</c><00:35:30.480><c> shall</c><00:35:30.719><c> lay</c><00:35:31.059><c> their</c><00:35:31.440><c> hands</c><00:35:31.840><c> on</c><00:35:32.039><c> the</c><00:35:32.219><c> heads</c><00:35:32.400><c> of</c><00:35:32.579><c> the</c><00:35:32.760><c> bullocks,</c>

00:35:33.500 --> 00:35:36.460
and<00:35:33.599><c> thou</c><00:35:33.780><c> shalt</c><00:35:33.980><c> offer</c><00:35:34.239><c> the</c><00:35:34.500><c> one</c><00:35:34.699><c> for</c><00:35:34.960><c> a</c><00:35:35.099><c> sin</c><00:35:35.239><c> offering</c><00:35:35.619><c> and</c><00:35:35.780><c> the</c><00:35:35.880><c> other</c><00:35:36.099><c> for</c><00:35:36.320><c> a</c>

burnt<00:35:36.719><c> offering.</c>

00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:42.400
So<00:35:39.219><c> they</c><00:35:39.380><c> knew</c><00:35:39.519><c> exactly</c><00:35:40.019><c> what</c><00:35:40.260><c> it</c><00:35:40.539><c> meant</c><00:35:40.739><c> to</c><00:35:41.000><c> have</c><00:35:41.380><c> hands</c><00:35:41.800><c> placed</c><00:35:42.179><c> on</c>

00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:42.820
their<00:35:42.599><c> heads.</c>

00:35:43.019 --> 00:35:45.539
The<00:35:43.280><c> Levites</c><00:35:43.659><c> had</c><00:35:43.780><c> just</c><00:35:44.079><c> had</c><00:35:44.239><c> the</c><00:35:44.440><c> hands</c><00:35:44.639><c> of</c><00:35:44.800><c> Israel</c><00:35:45.179><c> placed</c>

00:35:45.539 --> 00:35:46.880
on<00:35:45.739><c> their</c><00:35:46.019><c> heads.</c>

00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:52.420
And<00:35:48.260><c> that</c><00:35:48.539><c> meant</c><00:35:48.760><c> the</c><00:35:48.980><c> death</c><00:35:49.659><c> of</c><00:35:50.900><c> that</c><00:35:51.159><c> which</c><00:35:51.340><c> was</c><00:35:51.619><c> offered.</c>

00:35:54.679 --> 00:35:58.840
But<00:35:55.320><c> the</c><00:35:55.559><c> Levites</c><00:35:56.179><c> weren't</c><00:35:57.099><c> killed,</c><00:35:57.619><c> were</c><00:35:57.659><c> they?</c>

00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:04.320
Let's<00:36:01.260><c> see</c><00:36:01.500><c> what</c><00:36:01.659><c> the</c><00:36:01.880><c> Apostle</c><00:36:02.320><c> Paul</c><00:36:02.619><c> says</c><00:36:03.000><c> of</c><00:36:03.280><c> the</c><00:36:03.480><c> Levites</c>

00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:06.639

00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:13.699
Because<00:36:09.219><c> of</c><00:36:09.519><c> all</c><00:36:10.380><c> the</c><00:36:11.340><c> examples</c><00:36:11.800><c> under</c><00:36:12.099><c> the</c><00:36:12.300><c> law</c><00:36:12.559><c> which</c><00:36:12.820><c> you</c><00:36:12.980><c> think,</c>

00:36:14.019 --> 00:36:17.880
perhaps<00:36:14.340><c> the</c><00:36:14.659><c> Apostle</c><00:36:15.159><c> was</c><00:36:15.679><c> thinking</c><00:36:16.139><c> of</c><00:36:16.360><c> that</c><00:36:17.260><c> offering,</c>

00:36:17.940 --> 00:36:20.440
perhaps<00:36:18.159><c> he</c><00:36:18.300><c> was</c><00:36:18.460><c> thinking</c><00:36:18.739><c> of</c><00:36:19.059><c> the</c><00:36:19.300><c> scapegoat</c><00:36:19.820><c> which</c><00:36:20.039><c> was</c>

00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:21.900
sent<00:36:20.719><c> into</c><00:36:20.940><c> the</c><00:36:21.099><c> wilderness</c><00:36:21.420><c> alive,</c>

00:36:21.900 --> 00:36:25.460
or<00:36:22.059><c> perhaps</c><00:36:22.400><c> he</c><00:36:22.559><c> was</c><00:36:22.699><c> thinking</c><00:36:22.980><c> about</c><00:36:23.260><c> the</c><00:36:23.440><c> bird</c><00:36:23.679><c> that</c><00:36:23.880><c> was</c><00:36:24.099><c> released</c>

00:36:25.900 --> 00:36:29.539
and<00:36:26.380><c> set</c><00:36:26.599><c> free</c><00:36:27.320><c> in</c><00:36:28.059><c> the</c><00:36:28.260><c> sin</c><00:36:28.440><c> offering.</c>

00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:34.800
Maybe<00:36:29.960><c> those</c><00:36:31.159><c> were</c><00:36:32.559><c> being</c><00:36:32.800><c> referred</c><00:36:33.159><c> to</c><00:36:33.340><c> by</c><00:36:33.559><c> the</c><00:36:33.780><c> Apostle,</c>

00:36:35.539 --> 00:36:40.019
but<00:36:35.539><c> surely</c><00:36:36.039><c> the</c><00:36:36.400><c> Levites</c><00:36:36.900><c> offer</c><00:36:37.559><c> even</c><00:36:38.239><c> more</c><00:36:39.059><c> powerful</c><00:36:39.659><c> examples</c>

00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:44.900

00:36:44.900 --> 00:36:53.000
He<00:36:45.179><c> says</c><00:36:51.340><c> in</c><00:36:51.519><c> verse</c><00:36:51.800><c> 1,</c>

00:36:54.820 --> 00:37:01.159
I<00:36:55.179><c> beseech</c><00:36:55.760><c> you</c><00:36:56.099><c> therefore,</c><00:36:56.599><c> brethren,</c><00:36:58.460><c> by</c><00:36:58.760><c> the</c><00:36:59.079><c> mercies</c><00:36:59.619><c> of</c><00:36:59.900><c> God,</c>

00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:09.860

00:37:38.360 --> 00:37:41.260

00:43:19.380 --> 00:43:24.019
It's<00:43:19.659><c> dwelling</c><00:43:19.940><c> upon</c><00:43:20.900><c> the</c><00:43:21.320><c> beauty</c><00:43:21.760><c> and</c><00:43:22.239><c> the</c><00:43:22.460><c> richness</c><00:43:23.039><c> of</c><00:43:23.860><c> the</c>

That's<00:46:28.920><c> what</c><00:46:29.099><c> Leah</c><00:46:29.320><c> wanted.</c>

00:46:29.860 --> 00:46:32.019
