00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.580
So<00:00:00.260><c> this</c><00:00:00.420><c> morning,</c><00:00:00.680><c> we're</c><00:00:00.780><c> going</c><00:00:00.860><c> to</c><00:00:00.920><c> talk</c><00:00:01.139><c> about</c><00:00:01.360><c> Leviticus.</c>

00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:03.839
Take<00:00:03.020><c> a</c><00:00:03.160><c> deep</c><00:00:03.399><c> breath.</c>

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:05.320
It's<00:00:04.400><c> all</c><00:00:04.519><c> right.</c>

00:00:06.099 --> 00:00:08.460
So<00:00:06.339><c> I</c><00:00:06.419><c> want</c><00:00:06.519><c> everyone</c><00:00:06.700><c> to</c><00:00:06.940><c> think</c><00:00:07.160><c> really</c><00:00:07.540><c> quickly</c><00:00:07.839><c> about</c><00:00:08.300><c> what</c>

00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:10.759
your<00:00:08.660><c> favorite</c><00:00:09.039><c> Bible</c><00:00:09.400><c> verse</c><00:00:09.720><c> is.</c>

00:00:12.580 --> 00:00:14.160
Take<00:00:12.939><c> a</c><00:00:13.140><c> second</c><00:00:13.320><c> to</c><00:00:13.539><c> think</c><00:00:13.660><c> it</c><00:00:13.859><c> over.</c>

00:00:14.419 --> 00:00:16.839
And<00:00:14.900><c> I</c><00:00:15.300><c> want</c><00:00:15.400><c> to</c><00:00:15.599><c> start</c><00:00:15.720><c> with</c><00:00:15.880><c> a</c><00:00:16.059><c> little</c><00:00:16.239><c> experiment.</c>

00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:20.199
Raise<00:00:17.300><c> your</c><00:00:17.679><c> hand</c><00:00:18.160><c> if</c><00:00:18.399><c> your</c><00:00:18.660><c> favorite</c><00:00:19.079><c> Bible</c><00:00:19.440><c> verse</c><00:00:19.820><c> comes</c>

00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:21.719
from<00:00:20.420><c> the</c><00:00:20.579><c> Book</c><00:00:20.719><c> of</c><00:00:20.980><c> Psalms.</c>

00:00:23.899 --> 00:00:24.859
OK.

00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:26.539
Not<00:00:25.399><c> many,</c><00:00:25.780><c> but</c><00:00:25.899><c> that's</c><00:00:26.179><c> all</c><00:00:26.260><c> right.</c>

00:00:26.539 --> 00:00:30.100
What<00:00:27.160><c> about</c><00:00:27.559><c> from</c><00:00:27.920><c> one</c><00:00:28.039><c> of</c><00:00:28.160><c> the</c><00:00:28.320><c> letters</c><00:00:28.559><c> in</c><00:00:28.739><c> the</c><00:00:28.859><c> New</c><00:00:29.039><c> Testament?</c>

00:00:32.060 --> 00:00:32.840
A<00:00:32.299><c> few</c><00:00:32.420><c> more.</c>

00:00:33.020 --> 00:00:34.000
A<00:00:33.100><c> few</c><00:00:33.219><c> more.</c>

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:37.280
Maybe<00:00:34.920><c> from</c><00:00:35.100><c> one</c><00:00:35.259><c> of</c><00:00:35.380><c> the</c><00:00:35.579><c> Gospels.</c>

00:00:37.979 --> 00:00:39.740
OK,<00:00:38.399><c> a</c><00:00:38.539><c> few</c><00:00:38.640><c> more.</c>

00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:40.420
All<00:00:40.100><c> right.</c>

00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:43.920
Lastly,<00:00:41.140><c> raise</c><00:00:41.399><c> your</c><00:00:41.640><c> hand</c><00:00:41.840><c> if</c><00:00:41.939><c> your</c><00:00:42.200><c> favorite</c><00:00:43.299><c> verse</c>

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:46.979
from<00:00:44.119><c> the</c><00:00:44.280><c> whole</c><00:00:44.439><c> Bible</c><00:00:44.740><c> is</c><00:00:45.020><c> found</c><00:00:45.200><c> in</c><00:00:45.359><c> the</c><00:00:45.460><c> Book</c><00:00:45.640><c> of</c><00:00:45.799><c> Leviticus.</c>

00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:50.979
I<00:00:48.679><c> don't</c><00:00:49.119><c> know</c><00:00:49.320><c> if</c><00:00:49.479><c> I</c><00:00:49.640><c> believe</c><00:00:49.859><c> you,</c><00:00:50.000><c> Uncle</c><00:00:50.219><c> Jim.</c>

00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:54.859
Yeah.

00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.359
So<00:00:58.000><c> I</c><00:00:58.759><c> think</c><00:00:58.979><c> that</c><00:00:59.159><c> you</c><00:00:59.240><c> would</c><00:00:59.420><c> be</c><00:00:59.640><c> hard</c><00:00:59.979><c> pressed</c>

00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:04.760
to<00:01:00.719><c> find</c><00:01:01.060><c> someone</c><00:01:01.479><c> who</c><00:01:02.240><c> instantly</c><00:01:02.859><c> thinks</c><00:01:03.560><c> of</c><00:01:04.079><c> Leviticus</c>

00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.459
when<00:01:05.239><c> asked</c><00:01:05.480><c> about</c><00:01:05.719><c> their</c><00:01:05.939><c> favorite</c><00:01:06.280><c> Bible</c><00:01:06.579><c> verse.</c>

00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.700
I<00:01:07.840><c> mean,</c><00:01:08.219><c> sure,</c><00:01:08.500><c> there's</c><00:01:08.780><c> a</c><00:01:08.900><c> couple</c><00:01:09.219><c> of</c><00:01:09.680><c> memorable</c><00:01:10.019><c> verses.</c>

00:01:11.180 --> 00:01:13.680
Uncle<00:01:11.280><c> Jim</c><00:01:11.420><c> knows</c><00:01:11.659><c> them</c><00:01:11.900><c> by</c><00:01:12.159><c> heart,</c><00:01:12.359><c> I'm</c><00:01:12.620><c> sure.</c>

00:01:14.780 --> 00:01:17.019
But<00:01:15.340><c> generally,</c><00:01:15.920><c> it</c><00:01:16.040><c> is</c><00:01:16.280><c> a</c><00:01:16.400><c> book</c><00:01:16.540><c> of</c><00:01:16.680><c> the</c><00:01:16.819><c> Bible</c>

00:01:17.019 --> 00:01:19.640
that<00:01:17.180><c> people</c><00:01:17.400><c> tend</c><00:01:17.659><c> to</c><00:01:17.879><c> shy</c><00:01:18.019><c> away</c><00:01:18.340><c> from.</c>

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:24.760
Most<00:01:21.060><c> people</c><00:01:21.780><c> are</c><00:01:22.680><c> intimidated</c><00:01:23.420><c> by</c><00:01:24.120><c> Leviticus.</c>

00:01:25.060 --> 00:01:27.319
And<00:01:25.200><c> frankly,</c><00:01:25.700><c> with</c><00:01:26.159><c> good</c><00:01:26.480><c> reason,</c><00:01:27.079><c> it</c>

00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.900
is<00:01:27.780><c> a</c><00:01:28.140><c> difficult</c><00:01:28.920><c> book</c><00:01:29.459><c> to</c><00:01:29.739><c> read</c><00:01:30.000><c> through.</c>

00:01:31.219 --> 00:01:34.540
And<00:01:31.519><c> to</c><00:01:31.739><c> modern</c><00:01:32.239><c> audiences,</c><00:01:33.739><c> it</c><00:01:33.900><c> is</c><00:01:34.180><c> a</c><00:01:34.400><c> book</c>

00:01:34.540 --> 00:01:39.540
that<00:01:34.760><c> is</c><00:01:34.959><c> full</c><00:01:35.200><c> of</c><00:01:35.500><c> these</c><00:01:36.040><c> weird,</c><00:01:36.620><c> obscure</c><00:01:37.340><c> rules</c><00:01:38.000><c> and</c><00:01:38.400><c> regulations</c>

00:01:39.839 --> 00:01:42.459
that<00:01:40.459><c> just</c><00:01:41.040><c> don't</c><00:01:41.319><c> really</c><00:01:41.700><c> seem</c><00:01:41.900><c> to</c><00:01:42.159><c> make</c>

00:01:42.459 --> 00:01:44.599
a<00:01:42.680><c> whole</c><00:01:42.859><c> lot</c><00:01:43.019><c> of</c><00:01:43.200><c> sense</c><00:01:43.400><c> to</c><00:01:43.640><c> us.</c>

00:01:44.850 --> 00:01:48.980
And<00:01:45.200><c> so</c><00:01:45.400><c> here</c><00:01:45.659><c> we</c><00:01:45.840><c> are</c><00:01:46.000><c> today</c><00:01:46.260><c> learning</c><00:01:46.799><c> to</c><00:01:47.319><c> love</c><00:01:47.760><c> Leviticus.</c>

00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:54.900
And<00:01:49.879><c> now,</c><00:01:50.299><c> to</c><00:01:50.579><c> clarify</c><00:01:51.200><c> this,</c><00:01:53.819><c> I</c><00:01:54.480><c> don't</c>

00:01:54.900 --> 00:01:58.319
expect<00:01:55.500><c> anyone's</c><00:01:56.140><c> favorite</c><00:01:56.500><c> book</c><00:01:56.900><c> of</c><00:01:57.400><c> the</c><00:01:57.540><c> Bible</c><00:01:57.840><c> after</c>

00:01:58.319 --> 00:01:58.939
Sunday<00:01:58.620><c> school</c>

00:01:58.939 --> 00:02:00.760
to<00:01:59.099><c> now</c><00:01:59.340><c> be</c><00:01:59.560><c> Leviticus.</c>

00:02:00.900 --> 00:02:04.920
You<00:02:01.260><c> may</c><00:02:01.439><c> have</c><00:02:01.620><c> noticed</c><00:02:01.939><c> my</c><00:02:02.319><c> hand</c><00:02:02.620><c> was</c><00:02:02.900><c> not</c><00:02:03.200><c> raised</c><00:02:03.640><c> either.</c>

00:02:05.539 --> 00:02:10.039
However,<00:02:07.019><c> I</c><00:02:07.439><c> do</c><00:02:07.859><c> hope</c><00:02:08.099><c> that</c><00:02:08.280><c> we</c><00:02:08.419><c> can</c><00:02:08.659><c> come</c><00:02:08.860><c> to</c><00:02:09.199><c> appreciate</c>

00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:10.879
this<00:02:10.699><c> book</c>

00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:12.300
quite<00:02:11.120><c> a</c><00:02:11.259><c> bit</c><00:02:11.379><c> more.</c>

00:02:12.359 --> 00:02:16.379
So<00:02:12.699><c> rather</c><00:02:13.180><c> than</c><00:02:13.479><c> seeing</c><00:02:13.800><c> this</c><00:02:14.159><c> book</c><00:02:14.479><c> as</c><00:02:15.039><c> some</c><00:02:15.680><c> awkward,</c>

00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:19.580
uncomfortable<00:02:17.280><c> set</c><00:02:17.539><c> of</c><00:02:17.780><c> laws</c><00:02:18.080><c> that</c><00:02:18.900><c> don't</c><00:02:19.259><c> really</c>

00:02:19.580 --> 00:02:21.520
have<00:02:19.819><c> any</c><00:02:20.180><c> significance</c><00:02:20.719><c> to</c><00:02:20.919><c> us</c><00:02:21.219><c> today,</c>

00:02:21.580 --> 00:02:25.939
I<00:02:21.960><c> hope</c><00:02:22.360><c> that</c><00:02:22.919><c> we'll</c><00:02:23.099><c> come</c><00:02:23.319><c> to</c><00:02:23.599><c> see</c><00:02:23.740><c> it</c><00:02:24.099><c> as</c><00:02:24.539><c> an</c><00:02:24.960><c> important</c><00:02:25.379><c> part</c>

00:02:25.939 --> 00:02:30.060
of<00:02:26.599><c> the</c><00:02:26.759><c> biblical</c><00:02:27.139><c> story,</c><00:02:28.020><c> and</c><00:02:28.659><c> that</c><00:02:28.780><c> we'll</c><00:02:28.979><c> learn</c><00:02:29.240><c> to</c><00:02:29.500><c> be</c><00:02:29.719><c> better</c>

00:02:30.060 --> 00:02:32.180
disciples<00:02:30.699><c> because</c><00:02:31.139><c> of</c><00:02:31.340><c> it.</c>

00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:37.479
And<00:02:34.099><c> so</c><00:02:34.400><c> to</c><00:02:34.620><c> begin,</c><00:02:35.699><c> let's</c><00:02:35.979><c> just</c><00:02:36.319><c> remember</c><00:02:36.699><c> this,</c>

00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:41.379
that<00:02:38.060><c> God's</c><00:02:38.919><c> word</c><00:02:39.479><c> is</c><00:02:40.180><c> inspired.</c>

00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.479
Everything<00:02:42.560><c> that</c><00:02:43.139><c> we</c><00:02:43.360><c> read</c><00:02:43.580><c> in</c><00:02:43.819><c> our</c><00:02:44.020><c> Bibles</c>

00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.139
was<00:02:45.120><c> written</c><00:02:45.379><c> down</c><00:02:45.759><c> for</c><00:02:46.000><c> a</c><00:02:46.199><c> purpose.</c>

00:02:48.259 --> 00:02:50.039
Here's<00:02:48.520><c> Paul's</c><00:02:49.020><c> reminder</c><00:02:49.319><c> to</c><00:02:49.620><c> Timothy.</c>

00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:55.039
He<00:02:50.520><c> says,</c><00:02:52.259><c> all</c><00:02:52.379><c> scripture</c><00:02:53.039><c> is</c><00:02:53.680><c> God</c><00:02:54.080><c>-breathed</c>

00:02:55.039 --> 00:03:00.840
and<00:02:55.639><c> is</c><00:02:56.080><c> useful</c><00:02:56.599><c> for</c><00:02:57.060><c> teaching,</c><00:02:58.439><c> for</c><00:02:58.719><c> rebuking,</c><00:02:59.979><c> correcting,</c>

00:03:01.060 --> 00:03:05.400
and<00:03:01.379><c> training</c><00:03:01.900><c> in</c><00:03:02.199><c> righteousness</c><00:03:02.879><c> so</c><00:03:03.879><c> that</c><00:03:04.060><c> the</c><00:03:04.379><c> servant</c><00:03:04.740><c> of</c><00:03:05.039><c> God</c>

00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:08.979
may<00:03:05.560><c> be</c><00:03:05.939><c> thoroughly</c><00:03:06.460><c> equipped</c><00:03:07.000><c> for</c><00:03:07.479><c> every</c><00:03:07.780><c> good</c><00:03:08.080><c> work.</c>

00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:13.719
Now,<00:03:11.780><c> it's</c><00:03:12.180><c> easy</c><00:03:12.539><c> to</c><00:03:12.780><c> agree</c><00:03:13.060><c> with</c><00:03:13.319><c> this</c>

00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:16.400
when<00:03:14.020><c> we're</c><00:03:14.300><c> reading</c><00:03:14.580><c> the</c><00:03:14.939><c> Sermon</c><00:03:15.219><c> on</c><00:03:15.360><c> the</c><00:03:15.500><c> Mount,</c>

00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:21.979
or<00:03:17.020><c> the</c><00:03:17.219><c> Letter</c><00:03:17.780><c> of</c><00:03:18.280><c> James,</c><00:03:19.699><c> or</c><00:03:20.120><c> even</c><00:03:20.400><c> the</c><00:03:20.520><c> Book</c><00:03:20.659><c> of</c><00:03:20.979><c> Proverbs.</c>

00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.740
But<00:03:22.680><c> however,</c><00:03:23.419><c> it</c><00:03:23.599><c> is</c><00:03:23.939><c> not</c><00:03:24.379><c> quite</c><00:03:24.900><c> as</c><00:03:25.280><c> easy</c>

00:03:25.740 --> 00:03:30.000
when<00:03:26.180><c> we</c><00:03:26.479><c> are</c><00:03:26.819><c> six</c><00:03:27.180><c> chapters</c><00:03:27.659><c> deep</c><00:03:28.080><c> in</c><00:03:28.699><c> specific</c><00:03:29.300><c> requirements</c>

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.000

00:03:34.259 --> 00:03:38.099
And<00:03:34.620><c> yet,</c><00:03:35.979><c> Paul's</c><00:03:36.259><c> word</c><00:03:36.639><c> still</c><00:03:37.039><c> stands.</c>

00:03:38.819 --> 00:03:43.180
All<00:03:39.340><c> scripture,</c><00:03:40.800><c> Paul</c><00:03:41.060><c> says,</c><00:03:41.639><c> all</c><00:03:41.879><c> scripture</c>

00:03:43.339 --> 00:03:46.180
is<00:03:43.699><c> God</c><00:03:44.060><c>-breathed,</c><00:03:44.620><c> is</c><00:03:44.979><c> inspired</c><00:03:45.599><c> by</c><00:03:45.900><c> God.</c>

00:03:46.219 --> 00:03:51.340
And<00:03:46.379><c> it's</c><00:03:46.599><c> not</c><00:03:46.860><c> only</c><00:03:47.879><c> inspired,</c><00:03:49.699><c> but</c><00:03:49.979><c> it's</c><00:03:50.340><c> useful.</c>

00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.620
Sometimes<00:03:53.840><c> you</c><00:03:54.000><c> might</c><00:03:54.259><c> just</c><00:03:54.620><c> scratch</c><00:03:54.860><c> your</c><00:03:55.120><c> head</c><00:03:55.219><c> at</c><00:03:55.419><c> that</c>

00:03:55.620 --> 00:03:57.919
and<00:03:56.139><c> think,</c><00:03:56.740><c> useful?</c>

00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:02.400
I<00:03:58.280><c> mean,</c><00:03:58.460><c> how</c><00:03:58.719><c> is</c><00:03:58.979><c> this</c><00:03:59.819><c> collection</c><00:04:00.460><c> of</c><00:04:01.020><c> ancient</c><00:04:01.500><c> Middle</c><00:04:02.000><c> Eastern</c>

laws?

00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:05.659
How<00:04:03.139><c> is</c><00:04:03.280><c> that</c><00:04:03.400><c> going</c><00:04:03.560><c> to</c><00:04:03.620><c> be</c><00:04:03.860><c> useful</c><00:04:04.280><c> to</c><00:04:04.539><c> me</c><00:04:04.740><c> today?</c>

00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:10.520
How<00:04:06.400><c> is</c><00:04:06.699><c> the</c><00:04:06.840><c> Book</c><00:04:07.080><c> of</c><00:04:07.280><c> Leviticus</c><00:04:08.099><c> going</c><00:04:08.759><c> to</c><00:04:09.180><c> thoroughly</c><00:04:09.639><c> equip</c><00:04:10.020><c> me</c>

00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:12.379

00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:17.319
Well,<00:04:13.479><c> Jesus</c><00:04:14.180><c> gives</c><00:04:14.659><c> us</c><00:04:15.219><c> a</c><00:04:15.539><c> clue</c><00:04:15.819><c> in</c><00:04:16.139><c> John</c><00:04:16.459><c> 5.</c>

00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:22.079
Speaking<00:04:20.519><c> to</c><00:04:20.879><c> the</c><00:04:21.120><c> Pharisees,</c><00:04:21.779><c> he</c><00:04:21.839><c> says,</c>

00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:26.399
you<00:04:22.420><c> pour</c><00:04:22.920><c> over</c><00:04:23.379><c> the</c><00:04:23.699><c> scriptures</c><00:04:24.220><c> because</c><00:04:25.459><c> you</c><00:04:25.720><c> presume</c><00:04:26.199><c> that</c>

00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.100
by<00:04:26.660><c> them</c><00:04:27.079><c> you</c><00:04:27.600><c> possess</c><00:04:28.019><c> eternal</c><00:04:28.500><c> life.</c>

00:04:29.100 --> 00:04:34.319
But<00:04:30.019><c> these</c><00:04:31.040><c> are</c><00:04:31.279><c> the</c><00:04:31.420><c> very</c><00:04:31.660><c> words</c><00:04:32.019><c> that</c><00:04:32.300><c> testify</c><00:04:32.839><c> about</c><00:04:33.339><c> me.</c>

00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:36.800
And<00:04:34.860><c> just</c><00:04:35.079><c> a</c><00:04:35.279><c> few</c><00:04:35.399><c> verses</c><00:04:35.720><c> later,</c><00:04:36.060><c> he</c><00:04:36.220><c> continues,</c>

00:04:37.139 --> 00:04:41.279
for<00:04:37.139><c> if</c><00:04:37.459><c> you</c><00:04:37.720><c> believed</c><00:04:38.180><c> Moses,</c><00:04:39.660><c> you</c><00:04:39.980><c> would</c><00:04:40.259><c> believe</c><00:04:40.540><c> me.</c>

00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:44.680
For<00:04:41.939><c> he</c><00:04:42.540><c> wrote</c><00:04:43.000><c> of</c><00:04:43.720><c> me.</c>

00:04:46.100 --> 00:04:49.279
And<00:04:46.360><c> in</c><00:04:46.560><c> Luke's</c><00:04:47.060><c> Gospel,</c><00:04:47.360><c> there's</c><00:04:47.759><c> a</c><00:04:48.060><c> very</c><00:04:48.379><c> similar</c><00:04:48.759><c> passage</c>

00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:54.060
in<00:04:49.540><c> Luke</c><00:04:49.779><c> 24,</c><00:04:51.000><c> in</c><00:04:51.220><c> verse</c><00:04:51.459><c> 27,</c><00:04:52.279><c> where</c><00:04:53.000><c> Jesus</c><00:04:53.600><c> took</c><00:04:53.839><c> them</c>

00:04:54.060 --> 00:04:57.720
through<00:04:54.319><c> the</c><00:04:54.519><c> writings</c><00:04:54.980><c> of</c><00:04:55.420><c> Moses</c><00:04:55.980><c> and</c><00:04:56.860><c> all</c><00:04:57.139><c> the</c><00:04:57.360><c> prophets,</c>

00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.680
explaining<00:04:58.500><c> from</c><00:04:58.920><c> all</c><00:04:59.439><c> the</c><00:04:59.660><c> scriptures</c>

00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.240
the<00:05:01.459><c> things</c><00:05:02.000><c> concerning</c><00:05:02.779><c> himself.</c>

00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.519
And<00:05:05.980><c> so</c><00:05:06.120><c> when</c><00:05:06.300><c> we</c><00:05:06.600><c> read</c><00:05:06.939><c> the</c><00:05:07.120><c> Book</c><00:05:07.480><c> of</c><00:05:07.779><c> Leviticus,</c>

00:05:11.379 --> 00:05:14.939
we<00:05:11.620><c> should</c><00:05:11.819><c> be</c><00:05:12.160><c> looking</c><00:05:12.639><c> for</c><00:05:13.459><c> the</c><00:05:13.620><c> Lord</c><00:05:13.860><c> Jesus.</c>

00:05:15.220 --> 00:05:18.740
And<00:05:15.459><c> sometimes</c><00:05:15.980><c> he's</c><00:05:16.259><c> hidden</c><00:05:16.660><c> somewhere</c><00:05:17.040><c> under</c><00:05:17.360><c> the</c><00:05:17.579><c> surface.</c>

00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:22.100
And<00:05:19.319><c> sometimes</c><00:05:19.800><c> it's</c><00:05:20.639><c> deep</c><00:05:21.040><c> under</c><00:05:21.399><c> the</c><00:05:21.620><c> surface.</c>

00:05:22.180 --> 00:05:24.540
But<00:05:22.540><c> he</c><00:05:22.800><c> is</c><00:05:23.180><c> always</c><00:05:23.579><c> there.</c>

00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:29.100
See,<00:05:25.639><c> the</c><00:05:25.699><c> Book</c><00:05:25.939><c> of</c><00:05:26.100><c> Leviticus</c><00:05:26.660><c> is</c><00:05:27.439><c> going</c><00:05:27.819><c> to</c><00:05:28.120><c> teach</c><00:05:28.300><c> us</c>

00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.800
You<00:05:38.779><c> and</c><00:05:39.040><c> I,</c><00:05:39.379><c> not</c><00:05:39.639><c> just</c><00:05:40.079><c> the</c><00:05:40.339><c> ancient</c><00:05:40.680><c> Israelites.</c>

00:05:44.100 --> 00:05:47.819

00:05:47.819 --> 00:05:51.980
that<00:05:48.120><c> Leviticus</c><00:05:48.579><c> must</c><00:05:48.920><c> be</c><00:05:49.300><c> important</c><00:05:50.040><c> because</c><00:05:50.939><c> it</c><00:05:51.199><c> is</c><00:05:51.439><c> inspired,</c>

00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.860
And<00:05:54.199><c> Paul</c><00:05:54.579><c> tells</c><00:05:54.939><c> us</c><00:05:55.259><c> that</c><00:05:55.439><c> all</c><00:05:55.600><c> scripture,</c><00:05:56.660><c> even</c><00:05:57.100><c> Leviticus,</c>

00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:02.160

However,<00:06:03.819><c> when</c><00:06:04.000><c> we</c><00:06:04.500><c> take</c><00:06:04.759><c> a</c><00:06:05.240><c> closer</c><00:06:05.639><c> look</c><00:06:06.259><c> at</c><00:06:07.060><c> the</c><00:06:07.779><c> Torah</c>

00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:12.779

00:06:13.100 --> 00:06:15.240
when<00:06:13.220><c> we</c><00:06:13.439><c> take</c><00:06:13.579><c> a</c><00:06:13.860><c> closer</c><00:06:14.180><c> look</c><00:06:14.459><c> at</c><00:06:14.660><c> the</c><00:06:14.920><c> Torah,</c>

00:06:20.860 --> 00:06:25.540
books,<00:06:21.699><c> we'll</c><00:06:21.879><c> see</c><00:06:22.079><c> that</c><00:06:22.300><c> the</c><00:06:22.800><c> structure</c><00:06:23.300><c> itself</c><00:06:24.639><c> suggests</c>

00:06:25.540 --> 00:06:30.199
maybe<00:06:26.100><c> even</c><00:06:26.339><c> a</c><00:06:26.439><c> bit</c><00:06:26.639><c> more</c><00:06:27.180><c> importance</c><00:06:27.800><c> than</c><00:06:28.759><c> we</c><00:06:28.939><c> may</c><00:06:29.060><c> have</c><00:06:29.300><c> expected.</c>

00:06:31.819 --> 00:06:38.860
See,<00:06:32.000><c> when</c><00:06:32.199><c> Paul</c><00:06:32.540><c> says</c><00:06:33.240><c> that</c><00:06:33.860><c> all</c><00:06:34.399><c> scripture</c><00:06:34.980><c> is</c><00:06:36.480><c> inspired</c><00:06:37.379><c> by</c><00:06:37.740><c> God,</c>

00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:43.360
I<00:06:39.939><c> don't</c><00:06:40.220><c> think</c><00:06:40.399><c> that</c><00:06:40.600><c> it's</c><00:06:40.939><c> exclusive</c><00:06:41.660><c> to</c><00:06:42.160><c> the</c><00:06:42.560><c> words</c><00:06:43.079><c> that</c>

00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:43.879
are<00:06:43.480><c> written.</c>

00:06:44.379 --> 00:06:48.620
But<00:06:44.600><c> I'd</c><00:06:44.959><c> suggest</c><00:06:45.579><c> that</c><00:06:46.540><c> this</c><00:06:46.740><c> would</c><00:06:46.959><c> include</c><00:06:47.339><c> the</c><00:06:47.620><c> Bible's</c><00:06:48.220><c> structure</c>

00:06:48.620 --> 00:06:49.650
as<00:06:48.860><c> well.</c>

00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:54.699
Of<00:06:52.819><c> course,</c><00:06:53.300><c> there</c><00:06:53.339><c> are</c><00:06:53.680><c> exceptions</c><00:06:54.160><c> to</c><00:06:54.480><c> this.</c>

00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:56.779
For<00:06:54.899><c> example,</c><00:06:55.319><c> when</c><00:06:55.500><c> we</c><00:06:55.680><c> read</c><00:06:55.879><c> from</c><00:06:56.100><c> our</c><00:06:56.259><c> Bibles</c><00:06:56.480><c> today,</c>

00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.959
there<00:06:57.000><c> are</c><00:06:57.339><c> these</c><00:06:58.199><c> chapter</c><00:06:58.620><c> breaks</c><00:06:59.079><c> and</c><00:06:59.959><c> verse</c><00:07:00.439><c> numbers.</c>

00:07:01.379 --> 00:07:05.920
And<00:07:01.459><c> really,</c><00:07:01.980><c> these</c><00:07:02.399><c> are</c><00:07:02.660><c> just</c><00:07:03.279><c> a</c><00:07:04.000><c> organizational</c><00:07:04.779><c> tool</c>

00:07:06.019 --> 00:07:09.800
that<00:07:06.480><c> translators</c><00:07:07.339><c> had</c><00:07:07.660><c> added</c><00:07:07.920><c> into</c><00:07:08.319><c> the</c><00:07:08.540><c> Bible</c><00:07:08.779><c> a</c><00:07:09.060><c> few</c><00:07:09.199><c> hundred</c><00:07:09.540><c> years</c>

00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:10.660
ago.

00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:14.480
However,<00:07:11.560><c> I</c><00:07:11.779><c> believe</c><00:07:12.060><c> that</c><00:07:12.279><c> what</c><00:07:12.420><c> is</c><00:07:12.699><c> important</c><00:07:13.300><c> for</c><00:07:13.759><c> us</c><00:07:13.959><c> to</c><00:07:14.240><c> consider</c>

00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:18.720
is<00:07:14.800><c> the</c><00:07:15.420><c> literary</c><00:07:16.279><c> structure</c><00:07:17.040><c> of</c><00:07:17.600><c> the</c><00:07:17.819><c> scriptures,</c>

00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:23.139
as<00:07:19.079><c> it</c><00:07:19.420><c> can</c><00:07:19.860><c> clue</c><00:07:19.959><c> us</c><00:07:20.379><c> in</c><00:07:21.079><c> on</c><00:07:21.540><c> certain</c><00:07:21.759><c> key</c><00:07:22.100><c> principles.</c>

00:07:25.100 --> 00:07:28.540
Now,<00:07:25.279><c> perhaps</c><00:07:25.519><c> the</c><00:07:25.660><c> most</c><00:07:25.939><c> common</c><00:07:26.279><c> example</c><00:07:26.860><c> of</c><00:07:27.439><c> literary</c><00:07:27.939><c> form</c>

00:07:28.540 --> 00:07:34.000
that<00:07:28.879><c> we</c><00:07:29.139><c> see</c><00:07:29.420><c> in</c><00:07:29.939><c> the</c><00:07:30.139><c> scripture</c><00:07:30.399><c> is</c><00:07:30.779><c> what's</c><00:07:31.079><c> called</c><00:07:31.540><c> a</c><00:07:32.819><c> chiasm.</c>

00:07:34.779 --> 00:07:38.899
Now,<00:07:35.120><c> perhaps</c><00:07:35.519><c> some</c><00:07:35.779><c> of</c><00:07:35.959><c> us</c><00:07:36.980><c> might</c><00:07:37.199><c> be</c><00:07:37.439><c> familiar</c><00:07:37.959><c> with</c><00:07:38.279><c> this</c><00:07:38.579><c> term</c>

00:07:38.899 --> 00:07:42.980
chiasm,<00:07:39.680><c> but</c><00:07:39.860><c> it's</c><00:07:40.560><c> relatively</c><00:07:41.060><c> new</c><00:07:41.500><c> for</c><00:07:41.800><c> me.</c>

00:07:43.579 --> 00:07:47.379
So<00:07:44.139><c> regardless</c><00:07:44.699><c> whether</c><00:07:46.199><c> or</c><00:07:46.360><c> not</c><00:07:46.480><c> you</c><00:07:46.699><c> think</c><00:07:46.860><c> you</c><00:07:47.060><c> know</c><00:07:47.180><c> it,</c>

00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.360
I<00:07:47.600><c> will</c><00:07:47.879><c> say</c><00:07:48.139><c> that</c><00:07:48.339><c> you</c><00:07:48.459><c> have</c><00:07:48.720><c> seen</c><00:07:48.939><c> an</c><00:07:49.259><c> example</c><00:07:49.620><c> of</c><00:07:49.939><c> this</c>

00:07:54.060 --> 00:07:55.060
or<00:07:54.139><c> not.</c>

00:07:55.579 --> 00:08:00.259
See,<00:07:55.779><c> I</c><00:07:55.939><c> sometimes</c><00:07:56.399><c> think</c><00:07:56.680><c> of</c><00:07:56.860><c> a</c><00:07:57.079><c> chiasm</c><00:07:57.600><c> as</c><00:07:58.019><c> the</c><00:07:58.860><c> Oreo</c><00:07:59.240><c> form.</c>

00:08:01.019 --> 00:08:03.740

00:08:08.259 --> 00:08:12.000

00:08:22.500 --> 00:08:24.339
And<00:08:22.800><c> here's</c><00:08:22.980><c> another</c><00:08:23.220><c> example.</c>

00:08:24.620 --> 00:08:26.839
You<00:08:24.759><c> might</c><00:08:25.000><c> recognize</c><00:08:25.759><c> the</c><00:08:26.040><c> people</c><00:08:26.199><c> in</c><00:08:26.399><c> the</c><00:08:26.500><c> middle.</c>

00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:33.639
It's<00:08:27.699><c> me</c><00:08:28.439><c> and</c><00:08:29.879><c> Melissa,</c><00:08:31.720><c> but</c><00:08:31.899><c> she</c><00:08:32.080><c> didn't</c><00:08:32.240><c> come</c><00:08:32.399><c> on</c><00:08:32.639><c> time</c><00:08:32.799><c> today.</c>

00:08:34.839 --> 00:08:36.720
So<00:08:35.159><c> here's</c><00:08:35.539><c> another</c><00:08:35.720><c> example.</c>

00:08:36.899 --> 00:08:39.799
The<00:08:37.240><c> second</c><00:08:37.519><c> I</c><00:08:37.759><c> put</c><00:08:37.879><c> this</c><00:08:38.159><c> picture</c><00:08:38.440><c> up</c><00:08:38.679><c> on</c><00:08:38.779><c> the</c><00:08:38.980><c> screen,</c>

00:08:40.180 --> 00:08:42.899

00:08:43.379 --> 00:08:45.779
The<00:08:43.659><c> bride,</c><00:08:44.600><c> good.</c>

00:08:46.179 --> 00:08:50.200
So<00:08:46.360><c> Melissa</c><00:08:46.759><c> and</c><00:08:47.820><c> myself,</c><00:08:48.440><c> the</c><00:08:48.639><c> bride</c><00:08:49.000><c> and</c><00:08:49.259><c> the</c><00:08:49.460><c> groom.</c>

00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:51.840
How<00:08:50.860><c> come?</c>

00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.700
Surely<00:08:52.759><c> part</c><00:08:53.399><c> of</c><00:08:53.519><c> it</c><00:08:53.759><c> is</c><00:08:54.080><c> because</c><00:08:54.440><c> we're</c><00:08:54.700><c> wearing</c><00:08:54.960><c> different</c><00:08:55.399><c> things.</c>

00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.940
There<00:08:57.019><c> is</c><00:08:57.340><c> a</c><00:08:57.539><c> reason</c><00:08:58.059><c> that</c><00:08:58.659><c> you</c><00:08:58.779><c> aren't</c>

00:08:58.940 --> 00:09:02.220

00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:05.320
However,<00:09:03.259><c> look</c><00:09:03.460><c> at</c><00:09:03.539><c> what's</c><00:09:03.960><c> surrounding</c><00:09:04.259><c> us.</c>

00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:10.980
On<00:09:06.019><c> either</c><00:09:06.580><c> side,</c><00:09:07.460><c> there</c><00:09:07.659><c> are</c><00:09:08.019><c> bridesmaids</c><00:09:09.220><c> and</c><00:09:09.840><c> groomsmen.</c>

00:09:11.419 --> 00:09:15.379
And<00:09:11.659><c> at</c><00:09:11.799><c> the</c><00:09:12.120><c> center</c><00:09:12.639><c> are</c><00:09:13.620><c> the</c><00:09:13.879><c> bride</c><00:09:14.299><c> and</c><00:09:14.659><c> groom.</c>

00:09:17.139 --> 00:09:21.519
This<00:09:17.639><c> right</c><00:09:17.980><c> here,</c><00:09:19.100><c> this</c><00:09:19.580><c> is</c><00:09:20.259><c> a</c><00:09:20.539><c> chiasm.</c>

00:09:22.460 --> 00:09:25.539
See,<00:09:22.659><c> what</c><00:09:22.879><c> this</c><00:09:23.279><c> form</c><00:09:23.620><c> is</c><00:09:24.059><c> doing</c><00:09:24.419><c> is</c><00:09:24.860><c> essentially</c>

00:09:25.539 --> 00:09:29.600
putting<00:09:25.960><c> a</c><00:09:26.539><c> frame</c><00:09:27.019><c> around</c><00:09:27.840><c> the</c><00:09:28.159><c> key</c><00:09:28.500><c> idea.</c>

00:09:30.899 --> 00:09:34.360
And<00:09:31.100><c> so</c><00:09:31.279><c> while</c><00:09:31.440><c> we</c><00:09:31.659><c> might</c><00:09:31.820><c> be</c><00:09:32.139><c> familiar</c><00:09:32.700><c> with</c><00:09:33.620><c> this</c><00:09:33.879><c> structure</c>

00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:37.879
visually,<00:09:36.519><c> we</c><00:09:36.759><c> don't</c><00:09:37.039><c> see</c><00:09:37.279><c> it</c><00:09:37.419><c> as</c><00:09:37.580><c> much</c>

00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:42.299
in<00:09:38.279><c> writing,</c><00:09:39.340><c> at</c><00:09:39.440><c> least</c><00:09:39.639><c> not</c><00:09:39.820><c> in</c><00:09:40.059><c> our</c><00:09:40.399><c> culture</c><00:09:40.740><c> today,</c><00:09:41.320><c> anyways.</c>

00:09:42.419 --> 00:09:44.840
So<00:09:42.639><c> what</c><00:09:42.779><c> we</c><00:09:43.139><c> are</c><00:09:43.340><c> more</c><00:09:43.639><c> likely</c><00:09:44.080><c> familiar</c><00:09:44.539><c> with</c>

00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:48.960
is<00:09:45.279><c> seeing</c><00:09:45.580><c> the</c><00:09:45.899><c> key</c><00:09:46.139><c> points</c><00:09:46.980><c> saved</c><00:09:48.100><c> until</c><00:09:48.559><c> the</c><00:09:48.779><c> end,</c>

00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:51.059
saved<00:09:49.259><c> the</c><00:09:49.460><c> best</c><00:09:49.700><c> for</c><00:09:49.980><c> last.</c>

00:09:51.700 --> 00:09:54.059
Think<00:09:51.940><c> of</c><00:09:52.100><c> the</c><00:09:52.220><c> way</c><00:09:52.360><c> that</c><00:09:52.539><c> a</c><00:09:52.879><c> speech</c><00:09:53.220><c> powerfully</c>

00:09:54.059 --> 00:09:57.720
builds<00:09:54.399><c> up</c><00:09:54.740><c> towards</c><00:09:54.980><c> its</c><00:09:55.259><c> conclusion</c><00:09:56.000><c> before</c><00:09:56.720><c> driving</c><00:09:57.340><c> home</c>

00:09:57.720 --> 00:09:58.779
the<00:09:57.980><c> point.</c>

00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:04.500
But<00:09:59.779><c> the</c><00:10:00.019><c> Bible</c><00:10:00.539><c> is</c><00:10:01.379><c> full</c><00:10:01.879><c> of</c><00:10:02.179><c> these</c><00:10:02.600><c> little</c><00:10:03.019><c> chiasms,</c>

00:10:04.779 --> 00:10:08.480
like<00:10:04.799><c> this,</c><00:10:05.100><c> these</c><00:10:05.360><c> little</c><00:10:05.720><c> Oreos</c><00:10:06.399><c> or</c><00:10:07.120><c> wedding</c><00:10:07.460><c> pictures.</c>

00:10:08.820 --> 00:10:11.019
Here's<00:10:09.019><c> another</c><00:10:09.279><c> quick</c><00:10:09.480><c> example</c><00:10:09.919><c> from</c><00:10:10.159><c> scripture.</c>

00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:13.639
It's<00:10:11.879><c> a</c><00:10:11.980><c> lot</c><00:10:12.080><c> of</c><00:10:12.240><c> text,</c><00:10:12.539><c> but</c><00:10:12.700><c> don't</c><00:10:12.899><c> worry.</c>

00:10:13.740 --> 00:10:15.059
Let's<00:10:13.960><c> look</c><00:10:14.100><c> at</c><00:10:14.200><c> the</c><00:10:14.259><c> book</c><00:10:14.419><c> of</c><00:10:14.679><c> Joshua.</c>

00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:18.620
This<00:10:15.460><c> comes</c><00:10:15.720><c> from</c><00:10:15.940><c> Joshua</c><00:10:16.360><c> chapter</c><00:10:16.720><c> 1,</c><00:10:17.059><c> verses</c><00:10:17.340><c> 5</c><00:10:17.919><c> through</c><00:10:18.100><c> 9.</c>

00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:21.039
This<00:10:19.279><c> is</c><00:10:19.460><c> a</c><00:10:19.460><c> very</c><00:10:19.860><c> well</c><00:10:20.159><c>-known</c><00:10:20.500><c> passage.</c>

00:10:21.340 --> 00:10:23.960
Some<00:10:21.559><c> of</c><00:10:21.700><c> us</c><00:10:22.100><c> may</c><00:10:22.340><c> even</c><00:10:22.620><c> know</c><00:10:22.700><c> it</c><00:10:22.879><c> by</c><00:10:23.120><c> heart.</c>

00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:27.940
And<00:10:24.360><c> as</c><00:10:24.720><c> I</c><00:10:25.100><c> read</c><00:10:25.419><c> this,</c><00:10:27.480><c> I</c><00:10:27.519><c> want</c><00:10:27.720><c> everyone</c>

00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:36.500
And<00:10:31.940><c> I'm</c><00:10:32.220><c> wondering</c><00:10:32.820><c> if</c><00:10:33.659><c> anyone</c><00:10:34.000><c> can</c><00:10:34.419><c> spot</c><00:10:35.100><c> the</c><00:10:35.919><c> bride</c>

00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.340
Reading<00:10:41.259><c> from</c><00:10:41.519><c> Joshua</c><00:10:41.940><c> chapter</c><00:10:42.320><c> 1.</c>

00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:47.879
Just<00:10:44.259><c> as</c><00:10:44.480><c> I</c><00:10:44.700><c> was</c><00:10:44.820><c> with</c><00:10:45.080><c> Moses,</c><00:10:46.299><c> so</c><00:10:46.720><c> I</c><00:10:46.960><c> will</c><00:10:47.100><c> be</c><00:10:47.279><c> with</c><00:10:47.500><c> you.</c>

00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:51.679

And<00:11:52.440><c> you</c><00:11:52.519><c> have</c><00:11:52.639><c> a</c><00:11:52.840><c> guess</c><00:11:53.120><c> where</c><00:11:53.440><c> that</c><00:11:53.840><c> bride</c><00:11:54.080><c> and</c><00:11:54.320><c> groom</c><00:11:54.440><c> might</c><00:11:54.679><c> be,</c>

00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:59.059
where<00:11:55.059><c> that</c><00:11:55.360><c> Oreo</c><00:11:55.759><c> filling</c><00:11:56.080><c> is</c><00:11:56.779><c> of</c><00:11:57.200><c> Joshua</c><00:11:57.600><c> chapter</c><00:11:58.019><c> 1.</c>

00:12:00.779 --> 00:12:03.200
The<00:12:00.840><c> book</c><00:12:01.179><c> of</c><00:12:01.360><c> the</c><00:12:01.539><c> law</c><00:12:01.779><c> shall</c><00:12:02.019><c> not</c><00:12:02.240><c> depart</c><00:12:02.580><c> from</c><00:12:02.740><c> your</c><00:12:02.919><c> mouth,</c>

00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:06.600
but<00:12:03.360><c> you</c><00:12:03.539><c> shall</c><00:12:03.679><c> meditate</c><00:12:04.200><c> on</c><00:12:04.440><c> it</c><00:12:04.620><c> day</c><00:12:05.179><c> and</c><00:12:05.720><c> night.</c>

00:12:08.940 --> 00:12:10.679
So<00:12:09.340><c> look</c><00:12:09.460><c> at</c><00:12:09.559><c> the</c><00:12:09.600><c> way</c><00:12:09.700><c> it's</c><00:12:10.000><c> framed</c><00:12:10.200><c> here.</c>

00:12:10.980 --> 00:12:13.679
On<00:12:11.240><c> the</c><00:12:11.440><c> outer</c><00:12:11.659><c> layers,</c><00:12:12.500><c> I</c><00:12:12.720><c> will</c><00:12:12.860><c> be</c><00:12:13.019><c> with</c><00:12:13.259><c> you.</c>

00:12:13.980 --> 00:12:16.519
I<00:12:14.220><c> will</c><00:12:14.460><c> not</c><00:12:14.620><c> leave</c><00:12:14.840><c> you</c><00:12:15.000><c> or</c><00:12:15.139><c> forsake</c><00:12:15.539><c> you.</c>

00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.399
And<00:12:16.980><c> down</c><00:12:17.200><c> at</c><00:12:17.340><c> the</c><00:12:17.399><c> bottom,</c><00:12:17.960><c> the</c><00:12:18.039><c> Lord</c><00:12:18.360><c> your</c><00:12:18.559><c> God</c><00:12:18.860><c> is</c><00:12:19.080><c> with</c><00:12:19.299><c> you</c>

00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:20.879
wherever<00:12:19.740><c> you</c><00:12:19.980><c> go.</c>

00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:23.799
And<00:12:22.120><c> then</c><00:12:22.200><c> we</c><00:12:22.419><c> go</c><00:12:22.659><c> another</c><00:12:23.120><c> layer</c><00:12:23.419><c> in.</c>

00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:27.580
And<00:12:24.419><c> in</c><00:12:24.559><c> the</c><00:12:24.700><c> next</c><00:12:25.059><c> layer,</c><00:12:25.379><c> be</c><00:12:25.700><c> strong</c><00:12:26.159><c> and</c><00:12:26.580><c> courageous.</c>

00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:29.799
We<00:12:28.100><c> see</c><00:12:28.240><c> that</c><00:12:28.480><c> in</c><00:12:28.600><c> verse</c><00:12:28.799><c> 6</c><00:12:29.139><c> up</c><00:12:29.299><c> at</c><00:12:29.480><c> the</c><00:12:29.600><c> top,</c>

00:12:29.820 --> 00:12:31.980
and<00:12:29.940><c> then</c><00:12:30.120><c> again</c><00:12:30.320><c> down</c><00:12:30.580><c> in</c><00:12:30.740><c> verse</c><00:12:30.940><c> 9.</c>

00:12:33.139 --> 00:12:36.059
Then<00:12:33.299><c> the</c><00:12:33.480><c> next</c><00:12:33.840><c> layer</c><00:12:34.080><c> in,</c><00:12:34.440><c> be</c><00:12:34.679><c> careful</c><00:12:35.120><c> to</c><00:12:35.360><c> do</c><00:12:35.559><c> all</c>

00:12:36.059 --> 00:12:38.159
that<00:12:36.360><c> I</c><00:12:37.019><c> have</c><00:12:37.279><c> commanded</c><00:12:37.600><c> you.</c>

00:12:38.659 --> 00:12:41.639
And<00:12:38.919><c> again</c><00:12:39.179><c> down</c><00:12:39.379><c> at</c><00:12:39.519><c> the</c><00:12:39.679><c> bottom,</c><00:12:40.200><c> careful</c><00:12:40.559><c> to</c><00:12:40.840><c> do</c><00:12:41.279><c> according</c>

00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:43.799
to<00:12:41.980><c> all</c><00:12:42.220><c> that</c><00:12:42.379><c> is</c><00:12:42.580><c> written</c><00:12:42.759><c> in</c><00:12:42.980><c> it.</c>

00:12:44.169 --> 00:12:48.000
Then<00:12:44.500><c> finally,</c><00:12:45.500><c> we</c><00:12:45.679><c> have</c><00:12:45.899><c> this</c><00:12:46.220><c> central</c><00:12:46.860><c> idea.</c>

00:12:48.340 --> 00:12:52.240
This<00:12:48.700><c> book</c><00:12:48.980><c> of</c><00:12:49.159><c> the</c><00:12:49.340><c> law</c><00:12:49.940><c> shall</c><00:12:50.320><c> not</c><00:12:50.600><c> depart</c><00:12:50.919><c> from</c><00:12:51.139><c> your</c><00:12:51.299><c> mouth,</c>

00:12:52.379 --> 00:12:56.019
but<00:12:52.580><c> you</c><00:12:52.799><c> shall</c><00:12:52.940><c> meditate</c><00:12:53.460><c> on</c><00:12:53.720><c> it</c><00:12:53.960><c> day</c><00:12:54.500><c> and</c><00:12:55.179><c> night.</c>

00:12:56.940 --> 00:13:01.879
So<00:12:57.220><c> in</c><00:12:57.399><c> this</c><00:12:57.620><c> passage</c><00:12:58.100><c> in</c><00:12:58.399><c> Joshua,</c><00:12:59.139><c> the</c><00:12:59.360><c> central</c><00:13:00.000><c> idea</c><00:13:00.639><c> is</c>

00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:02.600
just<00:13:02.340><c> that.</c>

00:13:02.860 --> 00:13:04.700
It<00:13:03.080><c> is</c><00:13:03.700><c> central.</c>

00:13:05.460 --> 00:13:06.840
Look<00:13:05.700><c> in</c><00:13:05.879><c> the</c><00:13:05.960><c> middle.</c>

00:13:07.220 --> 00:13:13.539
And<00:13:07.860><c> the</c><00:13:08.240><c> idea</c><00:13:08.840><c> is</c><00:13:09.460><c> that</c><00:13:09.759><c> we</c><00:13:10.320><c> immerse</c><00:13:11.039><c> ourselves</c><00:13:11.759><c> in</c><00:13:12.259><c> God's</c><00:13:12.659><c> word.</c>

00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.899
That<00:13:13.820><c> we</c><00:13:14.159><c> meditate</c><00:13:14.679><c> on</c><00:13:15.019><c> it</c><00:13:15.200><c> day</c><00:13:15.679><c> and</c><00:13:15.980><c> night.</c>

00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:21.059
And<00:13:17.440><c> the</c><00:13:17.600><c> rest</c><00:13:17.899><c> of</c><00:13:18.159><c> this</c><00:13:18.840><c> will</c><00:13:19.320><c> fall</c><00:13:19.639><c> into</c><00:13:20.000><c> place.</c>

00:13:24.259 --> 00:13:27.340
So<00:13:24.759><c> what</c><00:13:24.860><c> does</c><00:13:25.000><c> this</c><00:13:25.240><c> chiasm</c><00:13:25.759><c> stuff</c><00:13:26.080><c> have</c><00:13:26.340><c> to</c><00:13:26.500><c> do</c><00:13:26.600><c> with</c><00:13:26.759><c> Leviticus?</c>

00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:29.299
It's<00:13:27.899><c> probably</c><00:13:28.159><c> what</c><00:13:28.299><c> you're</c><00:13:28.480><c> thinking.</c>

00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:31.899
There's<00:13:29.940><c> a</c><00:13:30.059><c> lot</c><00:13:30.220><c> of</c><00:13:30.399><c> talk</c><00:13:30.600><c> about</c><00:13:30.879><c> literary</c><00:13:31.360><c> structure,</c>

00:13:31.980 --> 00:13:35.179
and<00:13:32.139><c> you're</c><00:13:32.379><c> starting</c><00:13:32.639><c> to</c><00:13:32.879><c> ask</c><00:13:33.100><c> yourself</c><00:13:33.600><c> this</c><00:13:34.120><c> question.</c>

00:13:35.400 --> 00:13:39.440
Well,<00:13:36.080><c> I</c><00:13:36.279><c> think</c><00:13:36.559><c> it's</c><00:13:37.100><c> really</c><00:13:37.440><c> interesting</c><00:13:37.960><c> to</c><00:13:38.500><c> note</c>

00:13:39.700 --> 00:13:44.419
that<00:13:40.379><c> many</c><00:13:40.720><c> biblical</c><00:13:41.139><c> scholars</c><00:13:42.000><c> suggest</c><00:13:42.759><c> that</c><00:13:43.139><c> the</c><00:13:43.460><c> Torah</c><00:13:43.799><c> itself,</c>

00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:47.960
again,<00:13:45.000><c> the</c><00:13:45.399><c> first</c><00:13:45.860><c> five</c><00:13:46.379><c> books</c><00:13:46.779><c> of</c><00:13:47.019><c> the</c><00:13:47.159><c> Bible,</c>

00:13:48.340 --> 00:13:53.820
that<00:13:48.500><c> the</c><00:13:48.759><c> Torah</c><00:13:49.019><c> itself</c><00:13:49.600><c> is</c><00:13:49.940><c> one</c><00:13:50.279><c> large</c><00:13:51.240><c> macro</c><00:13:52.059><c> level</c><00:13:52.600><c> chiasm.</c>

00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:58.600
And<00:13:54.539><c> right</c><00:13:54.720><c> at</c><00:13:55.000><c> its</c><00:13:55.259><c> center</c><00:13:55.700><c> is</c><00:13:56.879><c> the</c><00:13:57.039><c> book</c><00:13:57.279><c> of</c><00:13:57.500><c> Leviticus.</c>

00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:01.879
So<00:13:59.700><c> now</c><00:13:59.960><c> in</c><00:14:00.179><c> this</c><00:14:00.500><c> case,</c><00:14:00.919><c> we</c><00:14:01.059><c> aren't</c><00:14:01.259><c> necessarily</c>

00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:07.279
going<00:14:02.139><c> to</c><00:14:02.500><c> see</c><00:14:02.759><c> repeated</c><00:14:03.200><c> words</c><00:14:03.860><c> and</c><00:14:04.179><c> phrases</c><00:14:04.899><c> as</c><00:14:06.360><c> succinctly</c>

00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.799
as<00:14:07.580><c> the</c><00:14:07.779><c> Joshua</c><00:14:08.259><c> example,</c><00:14:09.700><c> but</c><00:14:09.919><c> rather</c><00:14:10.500><c> we</c>

00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:16.940
will<00:14:12.039><c> see</c><00:14:12.159><c> the</c><00:14:12.440><c> major</c><00:14:12.799><c> themes</c><00:14:13.580><c> that</c><00:14:14.259><c> arise</c><00:14:14.919><c> throughout</c><00:14:15.820><c> the</c><00:14:16.139><c> law.</c>

00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:23.519
So<00:14:19.139><c> the</c><00:14:19.440><c> outer</c><00:14:19.960><c> layers,</c><00:14:21.539><c> when</c><00:14:21.620><c> we</c><00:14:21.840><c> look</c><00:14:22.080><c> at</c><00:14:22.519><c> the</c><00:14:22.779><c> Torah</c><00:14:23.059><c> itself,</c>

the<00:14:23.860><c> outer</c><00:14:24.139><c> layers</c><00:14:24.480><c> of</c><00:14:24.799><c> Genesis</c><00:14:25.799><c> and</c><00:14:27.200><c> Deuteronomy,</c>

and<00:14:34.860><c> on</c><00:14:35.200><c> God's</c><00:14:35.700><c> blessing.</c>

00:14:36.860 --> 00:14:39.080
With<00:14:37.100><c> Abraham</c><00:14:37.659><c> and</c><00:14:37.940><c> with</c><00:14:38.240><c> Moses,</c><00:14:38.740><c> both,</c>

00:14:39.100 --> 00:14:44.019
there<00:14:39.279><c> is</c><00:14:39.519><c> a</c><00:14:39.799><c> huge</c><00:14:40.139><c> focus</c><00:14:40.919><c> on</c><00:14:41.700><c> seeing</c><00:14:42.279><c> the</c><00:14:42.639><c> promised</c><00:14:43.000><c> land.</c>

00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:47.899
And<00:14:44.639><c> there</c><00:14:44.759><c> are</c><00:14:45.019><c> descendants</c><00:14:45.639><c> inhabiting</c><00:14:46.759><c> that</c><00:14:47.080><c> land.</c>

00:14:49.740 --> 00:14:52.039
And<00:14:49.940><c> then</c><00:14:50.000><c> we're</c><00:14:50.120><c> going</c><00:14:50.200><c> to</c><00:14:50.379><c> move</c><00:14:50.659><c> one</c><00:14:51.000><c> layer</c><00:14:51.220><c> deeper</c><00:14:51.559><c> in,</c>

00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:56.899
and<00:14:52.279><c> we</c><00:14:52.779><c> see</c><00:14:53.059><c> that</c><00:14:53.440><c> Exodus</c><00:14:54.039><c> and</c><00:14:54.899><c> Numbers</c><00:14:56.299><c> also</c>

00:14:56.899 --> 00:14:59.000

00:14:59.500 --> 00:15:03.139
Both<00:14:59.779><c> of</c><00:15:00.039><c> these</c><00:15:00.279><c> books</c><00:15:00.820><c> focus</c><00:15:01.480><c> on</c><00:15:01.940><c> Israel's</c><00:15:02.639><c> wanderings</c>

00:15:03.139 --> 00:15:04.419
through<00:15:03.360><c> the</c><00:15:03.580><c> desert.</c>

00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:09.600
We<00:15:05.240><c> see</c><00:15:06.299><c> plagues</c><00:15:07.080><c> against</c><00:15:07.519><c> Egypt</c><00:15:08.240><c> because</c><00:15:08.960><c> of</c><00:15:09.200><c> Pharaoh's</c>

00:15:11.460 --> 00:15:15.100
And<00:15:11.639><c> we</c><00:15:11.840><c> see</c><00:15:11.940><c> it</c><00:15:12.179><c> also</c><00:15:12.580><c> in</c><00:15:12.799><c> Numbers</c><00:15:13.299><c> 25</c><00:15:14.100><c> with</c><00:15:14.419><c> the</c><00:15:14.779><c> story</c>

00:15:15.100 --> 00:15:21.100
of<00:15:15.580><c> the</c><00:15:15.799><c> bail</c><00:15:16.259><c> of</c><00:15:18.000><c> Peor,</c><00:15:19.159><c> which</c><00:15:19.580><c> resulted</c><00:15:20.039><c> in</c><00:15:20.279><c> a</c><00:15:20.480><c> plague</c><00:15:20.720><c> that</c>

00:15:21.100 --> 00:15:23.799
wiped<00:15:21.240><c> out</c><00:15:21.580><c> 24</c><00:15:22.240><c>,000</c><00:15:22.799><c> Israelites.</c>

00:15:24.100 --> 00:15:27.899
And<00:15:24.860><c> additionally,</c><00:15:25.679><c> in</c><00:15:25.879><c> Exodus,</c><00:15:26.399><c> the</c><00:15:26.659><c> Israelites</c><00:15:26.940><c> arrive</c>

00:15:27.899 --> 00:15:30.279
and<00:15:28.200><c> they</c><00:15:28.539><c> settle</c><00:15:28.960><c> at</c><00:15:29.500><c> Mount</c><00:15:29.740><c> Sinai.</c>

00:15:30.580 --> 00:15:35.799
And<00:15:30.840><c> in</c><00:15:30.980><c> Numbers,</c><00:15:32.159><c> the</c><00:15:32.419><c> Israelites</c><00:15:33.059><c> depart</c><00:15:33.899><c> from</c><00:15:34.759><c> Sinai.</c>

00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:38.759
And<00:15:37.059><c> so</c><00:15:37.179><c> this</c><00:15:37.379><c> brings</c><00:15:37.639><c> us</c><00:15:37.980><c> to</c><00:15:38.139><c> the</c><00:15:38.379><c> center,</c>

00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:43.259

00:15:43.620 --> 00:15:45.740
And<00:15:43.899><c> it's</c><00:15:44.019><c> in</c><00:15:44.240><c> this</c><00:15:44.519><c> book</c><00:15:44.960><c> that</c><00:15:45.360><c> we</c><00:15:45.580><c> learn</c>

00:15:45.740 --> 00:15:52.360
the<00:15:46.179><c> importance</c><00:15:46.820><c> of</c><00:15:48.019><c> sacrifice,</c><00:15:49.600><c> of</c><00:15:50.139><c> cleanness,</c><00:15:51.639><c> and</c><00:15:51.960><c> perhaps</c>

00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:54.720
most<00:15:52.580><c> importantly,</c><00:15:53.500><c> of</c><00:15:53.700><c> holiness.</c>

00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:01.659
I<00:15:57.159><c> recently</c><00:15:57.539><c> read</c><00:15:57.860><c> an</c><00:15:58.379><c> article</c><00:15:58.799><c> that</c><00:15:59.000><c> was</c><00:15:59.240><c> written</c><00:15:59.460><c> by</c><00:16:00.179><c> a</c><00:16:00.740><c> rabbi</c><00:16:01.399><c> who</c>

00:16:01.659 --> 00:16:05.019
had<00:16:01.919><c> said</c><00:16:02.080><c> that</c><00:16:02.399><c> in</c><00:16:02.659><c> Hebrew</c><00:16:03.080><c> elementary</c><00:16:03.700><c> schools,</c>

00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:10.059
the<00:16:07.360><c> young</c><00:16:07.620><c> boys</c><00:16:07.840><c> traditionally</c><00:16:08.480><c> begin</c><00:16:08.960><c> learning</c><00:16:09.480><c> the</c><00:16:09.779><c> Torah</c>

00:16:10.059 --> 00:16:12.139
at<00:16:10.519><c> the</c><00:16:10.700><c> age</c><00:16:10.960><c> of</c><00:16:11.279><c> five.</c>

00:16:12.179 --> 00:16:13.679
And<00:16:12.379><c> here's</c><00:16:12.539><c> what</c><00:16:12.679><c> he</c><00:16:12.879><c> wrote.</c>

00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:17.559
He<00:16:14.840><c> said,</c><00:16:15.159><c> they</c><00:16:15.159><c> begin</c><00:16:15.679><c> with</c><00:16:16.360><c> Leviticus.</c>

00:16:18.019 --> 00:16:20.220
The<00:16:18.200><c> book</c><00:16:18.379><c> of</c><00:16:18.539><c> the</c><00:16:18.740><c> Torah,</c><00:16:19.039><c> which</c><00:16:19.240><c> I</c><00:16:19.820><c> suspect</c>

00:16:20.220 --> 00:16:23.580
most<00:16:20.559><c> modern</c><00:16:21.159><c> Jewish</c><00:16:21.480><c> adults</c><00:16:21.899><c> like</c><00:16:22.220><c> the</c><00:16:22.440><c> least,</c>

00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:31.559
It<00:16:27.659><c> couldn't</c><00:16:27.919><c> be</c><00:16:28.299><c> further</c><00:16:28.840><c> from</c><00:16:29.340><c> the</c><00:16:29.659><c> post</c><00:16:30.220><c>-sacrificial</c><00:16:30.960><c> Judaism</c>

00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:33.840
that<00:16:32.179><c> we</c><00:16:32.379><c> know</c><00:16:32.580><c> and</c><00:16:32.840><c> cherish.</c>

00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:37.480
Many<00:16:34.899><c> scholars</c><00:16:35.519><c> and</c><00:16:35.740><c> rabbis</c><00:16:36.299><c> and</c><00:16:36.539><c> literary</c><00:16:36.940><c> critics</c>

00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:42.419
make<00:16:37.980><c> the</c><00:16:38.240><c> case</c><00:16:38.779><c> that</c><00:16:39.620><c> the</c><00:16:39.919><c> Torah</c><00:16:40.179><c> has</c><00:16:40.659><c> a</c><00:16:41.019><c> chiastic</c><00:16:41.899><c> structure</c>

00:16:42.419 --> 00:16:44.120
or<00:16:42.659><c> is</c><00:16:42.919><c> a</c><00:16:43.120><c> chiasm.</c>

00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:46.840
And<00:16:44.679><c> in</c><00:16:44.860><c> a</c><00:16:44.960><c> book</c><00:16:45.220><c> with</c><00:16:45.519><c> a</c><00:16:45.779><c> chiastic</c><00:16:46.399><c> structure,</c>

00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:49.879
the<00:16:47.120><c> most</c><00:16:47.460><c> important</c><00:16:47.879><c> part</c><00:16:48.340><c> is</c><00:16:49.059><c> not</c><00:16:49.299><c> the</c><00:16:49.559><c> beginning</c>

00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:53.639
or<00:16:49.879><c> the</c><00:16:50.480><c> end,</c><00:16:51.860><c> but</c><00:16:51.960><c> what's</c><00:16:52.460><c> in</c><00:16:52.620><c> the</c><00:16:52.740><c> middle.</c>

00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:57.320
Leviticus<00:16:55.059><c> is</c><00:16:55.480><c> in</c><00:16:55.659><c> the</c><00:16:55.740><c> middle</c><00:16:56.000><c> of</c><00:16:56.240><c> the</c><00:16:56.419><c> Torah.</c>

00:16:57.779 --> 00:17:01.200
Therefore,<00:16:58.600><c> it's</c><00:16:58.899><c> the</c><00:16:58.980><c> most</c><00:16:59.440><c> important</c><00:17:00.220><c> part.</c>

00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.680
See,<00:17:03.460><c> scripture</c><00:17:03.799><c> is</c><00:17:04.660><c> wholly</c><00:17:05.240><c> inspired</c><00:17:06.259><c> by</c><00:17:06.740><c> God.</c>

00:17:09.199 --> 00:17:12.599
Everything<00:17:10.079><c> not</c><00:17:10.960><c> only</c><00:17:11.220><c> is</c><00:17:11.420><c> written</c><00:17:11.740><c> purposefully,</c>

00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:17.259
but<00:17:13.319><c> it</c><00:17:13.539><c> is</c><00:17:13.839><c> also</c><00:17:14.319><c> organized</c><00:17:15.119><c> in</c><00:17:15.579><c> a</c><00:17:15.859><c> purposeful</c><00:17:16.279><c> way.</c>

00:17:17.579 --> 00:17:21.380
So<00:17:18.259><c> looking</c><00:17:18.900><c> at</c><00:17:19.420><c> this,</c><00:17:19.660><c> it</c><00:17:19.980><c> became</c><00:17:20.380><c> clear</c><00:17:20.859><c> to</c><00:17:21.180><c> me</c>

00:17:21.380 --> 00:17:25.220
that<00:17:21.740><c> God</c><00:17:22.220><c> has</c><00:17:22.640><c> placed</c><00:17:23.180><c> a</c><00:17:23.559><c> lot</c><00:17:23.799><c> of</c><00:17:24.160><c> importance</c>

00:17:25.320 --> 00:17:27.440
on<00:17:25.660><c> the</c><00:17:25.819><c> book</c><00:17:26.160><c> of</c><00:17:26.380><c> Leviticus.</c>

00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:29.279
It<00:17:27.819><c> is</c><00:17:28.119><c> worth</c><00:17:28.519><c> looking</c><00:17:28.960><c> at.</c>

00:17:29.339 --> 00:17:31.220
It<00:17:29.460><c> is</c><00:17:29.779><c> worth</c><00:17:30.559><c> studying.</c>

00:17:31.380 --> 00:17:33.839
It<00:17:31.500><c> is</c><00:17:31.799><c> worth</c><00:17:32.240><c> learning</c><00:17:32.720><c> to</c><00:17:33.059><c> love.</c>

00:17:34.380 --> 00:17:37.199
So<00:17:34.640><c> let's</c><00:17:34.859><c> go</c><00:17:35.059><c> ahead</c><00:17:35.400><c> and</c><00:17:36.019><c> dive</c><00:17:36.359><c> in.</c>

00:17:39.339 --> 00:17:42.500
The<00:17:39.539><c> name</c><00:17:39.880><c> of</c><00:17:40.140><c> the</c><00:17:40.299><c> book,</c><00:17:41.299><c> Leviticus.</c>

00:17:43.380 --> 00:17:45.160
Anyone<00:17:43.640><c> know</c><00:17:44.240><c> off</c><00:17:44.599><c> the</c><00:17:44.680><c> top</c><00:17:44.839><c> of</c><00:17:44.960><c> their</c><00:17:45.079><c> head</c>

00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:47.240

00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:49.259
or<00:17:47.400><c> maybe</c><00:17:47.599><c> what</c><00:17:47.740><c> it</c><00:17:47.980><c> sounds</c><00:17:48.279><c> like?</c>

00:17:49.660 --> 00:17:53.039
And<00:17:49.779><c> that</c><00:17:49.940><c> name</c><00:17:50.160><c> actually</c><00:17:50.539><c> comes</c><00:17:50.920><c> from</c><00:17:51.400><c> the</c><00:17:51.900><c> Latin</c><00:17:52.380><c> Vulgate,</c>

00:17:58.299 --> 00:18:00.619
That's<00:17:58.579><c> where</c><00:17:58.720><c> we</c><00:17:58.859><c> get</c><00:17:59.000><c> the</c><00:17:59.119><c> word</c><00:17:59.400><c> Leviticus.</c>

00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:03.779
Interestingly,<00:18:02.000><c> however,</c><00:18:02.480><c> there</c><00:18:02.759><c> is</c><00:18:03.339><c> actually</c>

00:18:03.779 --> 00:18:07.119
very<00:18:04.339><c> little</c><00:18:05.000><c> content</c><00:18:05.599><c> in</c><00:18:06.579><c> the</c><00:18:06.720><c> book</c><00:18:06.880><c> that</c>

00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.720
does<00:18:07.579><c> pertain</c><00:18:08.400><c> to</c><00:18:08.619><c> the</c><00:18:08.759><c> Levites,</c><00:18:09.960><c> at</c><00:18:10.140><c> least</c><00:18:10.900><c> explicitly</c>

00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:13.700
directed<00:18:12.180><c> to</c><00:18:12.460><c> the</c><00:18:12.599><c> Levites.</c>

00:18:14.180 --> 00:18:21.880
Originally,<00:18:15.660><c> the</c><00:18:16.180><c> Hebrew</c><00:18:16.660><c> title</c><00:18:17.099><c> of</c><00:18:17.339><c> this</c><00:18:17.599><c> book</c><00:18:17.980><c> was</c><00:18:19.160><c> Vayikra.</c>

00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:25.220
I'll<00:18:22.599><c> have</c><00:18:22.700><c> to</c><00:18:22.839><c> ask</c><00:18:23.099><c> someone</c><00:18:23.480><c> another</c><00:18:23.920><c> time</c><00:18:24.200><c> about</c><00:18:24.460><c> what</c><00:18:24.680><c> that</c><00:18:25.019><c> actually</c>

00:18:25.220 --> 00:18:25.940
is<00:18:25.359><c> pronounced</c><00:18:25.559><c> like.</c>

00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:28.440
But<00:18:26.599><c> it</c><00:18:26.759><c> has</c><00:18:26.920><c> a</c><00:18:27.160><c> different</c><00:18:27.480><c> Hebrew</c><00:18:27.900><c> title,</c>

00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:34.000
which<00:18:29.259><c> referred</c><00:18:29.579><c> to</c><00:18:29.759><c> the</c><00:18:29.960><c> very</c><00:18:30.500><c> first</c><00:18:30.880><c> word</c><00:18:31.420><c> of</c><00:18:31.680><c> the</c><00:18:31.839><c> book,</c><00:18:33.660><c> which</c>

00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:39.579
translates<00:18:34.660><c> to,</c><00:18:35.599><c> and</c><00:18:35.599><c> he</c><00:18:36.160><c> called,</c><00:18:37.140><c> or</c><00:18:37.380><c> and</c><00:18:37.759><c> the</c><00:18:37.980><c> Lord</c><00:18:38.440><c> called.</c>

00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:44.460
And<00:18:39.920><c> this</c><00:18:40.240><c> is</c><00:18:40.740><c> exactly</c><00:18:41.359><c> what</c><00:18:41.579><c> we</c><00:18:41.839><c> see</c><00:18:42.440><c> in</c><00:18:43.119><c> verse</c><00:18:43.359><c> 1.</c>

00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.259
And<00:18:45.700><c> the</c><00:18:46.160><c> Lord</c><00:18:46.519><c> called</c><00:18:46.920><c> to</c><00:18:47.200><c> Moses.</c>

00:18:50.500 --> 00:18:52.799
Now,<00:18:51.519><c> I</c><00:18:51.880><c> don't</c><00:18:52.000><c> know</c><00:18:52.099><c> about</c><00:18:52.259><c> you,</c><00:18:52.480><c> but</c><00:18:52.619><c> there</c>

00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:57.160
is<00:18:52.960><c> a</c><00:18:53.099><c> very</c><00:18:53.400><c> specific</c><00:18:53.940><c> part</c><00:18:54.500><c> of</c><00:18:55.079><c> this</c><00:18:55.400><c> first</c><00:18:56.000><c> sentence,</c>

00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:00.660
the<00:18:57.480><c> very</c><00:18:57.920><c> first</c><00:18:58.420><c> sentence</c><00:18:58.880><c> of</c><00:18:59.079><c> this</c><00:18:59.339><c> book</c><00:18:59.640><c> that</c><00:19:00.119><c> stands</c><00:19:00.420><c> out</c>

00:19:00.660 --> 00:19:02.039
to<00:19:00.799><c> me.</c>

00:19:02.500 --> 00:19:06.500
And<00:19:03.180><c> it's</c><00:19:03.339><c> that</c><00:19:03.519><c> very</c><00:19:03.900><c> first</c><00:19:04.259><c> word,</c><00:19:05.420><c> and.</c>

00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:11.619
It's<00:19:07.519><c> like</c><00:19:07.900><c> grammar</c><00:19:08.500><c> 101,</c><00:19:09.180><c> that</c><00:19:09.279><c> you</c><00:19:09.380><c> don't</c><00:19:09.799><c> start</c><00:19:10.140><c> a</c><00:19:10.420><c> sentence,</c>

00:19:11.779 --> 00:19:15.119
let<00:19:12.000><c> alone</c><00:19:12.299><c> a</c><00:19:12.700><c> book,</c><00:19:13.539><c> with</c><00:19:13.759><c> the</c><00:19:13.900><c> word</c><00:19:14.160><c> and.</c>

00:19:16.700 --> 00:19:21.380
So<00:19:17.160><c> do</c><00:19:18.019><c> you</c><00:19:18.099><c> ever</c><00:19:18.339><c> imagine</c><00:19:18.779><c> a</c><00:19:19.180><c> conversation</c><00:19:19.859><c> in</c><00:19:20.460><c> your</c><00:19:20.740><c> head</c>

00:19:21.380 --> 00:19:24.920
without<00:19:21.960><c> actually</c><00:19:22.440><c> having</c><00:19:23.079><c> that</c><00:19:23.700><c> conversation?</c>

00:19:26.460 --> 00:19:30.319
Melissa<00:19:27.140><c> will</c><00:19:27.640><c> attest</c><00:19:28.000><c> to</c><00:19:28.180><c> this,</c><00:19:28.539><c> but</c><00:19:28.819><c> sometimes</c><00:19:29.640><c> we</c><00:19:29.940><c> will</c><00:19:30.119><c> be</c>

00:19:30.980 --> 00:19:32.640
Melissa's<00:19:31.420><c> just</c><00:19:31.579><c> trying</c><00:19:31.740><c> to</c><00:19:31.880><c> read</c><00:19:31.960><c> her</c><00:19:32.079><c> book,</c>

00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:34.940
and<00:19:33.079><c> I</c><00:19:33.200><c> will</c><00:19:33.420><c> randomly</c><00:19:33.779><c> blurt</c><00:19:34.039><c> out.</c>

00:19:34.879 --> 00:19:37.039
You<00:19:35.119><c> know,</c><00:19:35.279><c> and</c><00:19:35.359><c> the</c><00:19:35.480><c> other</c><00:19:35.660><c> thing</c><00:19:35.859><c> about</c><00:19:36.099><c> that</c><00:19:36.420><c> is,</c>

00:19:37.220 --> 00:19:41.400
and<00:19:37.420><c> I</c><00:19:37.559><c> go</c><00:19:37.740><c> on</c><00:19:38.039><c> on</c><00:19:38.220><c> some</c><00:19:38.460><c> long</c><00:19:38.740><c> tangent</c><00:19:39.200><c> with</c><00:19:39.680><c> absolutely</c><00:19:40.279><c> zero</c><00:19:40.759><c> context,</c>

00:19:41.500 --> 00:19:44.359
and<00:19:41.680><c> she's</c><00:19:41.859><c> just</c><00:19:42.099><c> like,</c><00:19:43.039><c> what</c><00:19:43.180><c> are</c><00:19:43.240><c> you</c><00:19:43.359><c> talking</c><00:19:43.539><c> about?</c>

00:19:44.660 --> 00:19:46.460
I<00:19:44.839><c> almost</c><00:19:44.920><c> finished</c><00:19:45.319><c> my</c><00:19:45.539><c> chapter.</c>

00:19:47.460 --> 00:19:50.480
Because<00:19:47.700><c> see,</c><00:19:48.079><c> the</c><00:19:48.160><c> thing</c><00:19:48.359><c> is,</c><00:19:48.740><c> what</c><00:19:48.920><c> Melissa</c><00:19:49.220><c> does</c><00:19:49.519><c> not</c><00:19:49.940><c> know</c>

00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:55.019
is<00:19:51.019><c> that</c><00:19:51.140><c> while</c><00:19:51.240><c> she</c><00:19:51.460><c> was</c><00:19:51.700><c> reading,</c><00:19:53.359><c> I</c><00:19:54.019><c> was</c><00:19:54.380><c> thinking</c><00:19:54.680><c> back</c>

00:19:55.019 --> 00:19:58.259

00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:00.160
And<00:19:58.579><c> I</c><00:19:58.740><c> was</c><00:19:58.880><c> picking</c><00:19:59.079><c> up</c><00:19:59.259><c> where</c><00:19:59.400><c> we</c><00:19:59.559><c> left</c><00:19:59.740><c> off.</c>

00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:02.920
I<00:20:00.440><c> mean,</c><00:20:01.259><c> how</c><00:20:01.440><c> does</c><00:20:01.519><c> she</c><00:20:01.640><c> not</c><00:20:01.740><c> just</c><00:20:02.000><c> read</c><00:20:02.119><c> my</c><00:20:02.400><c> mind</c><00:20:02.559><c> like</c><00:20:02.779><c> that?</c>

00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:04.500
I<00:20:02.980><c> don't</c><00:20:03.119><c> get</c><00:20:03.359><c> it.</c>

00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:07.880
See,<00:20:05.259><c> to</c><00:20:05.500><c> really</c><00:20:05.880><c> understand,</c><00:20:07.599><c> you</c><00:20:07.680><c> need</c>

00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:11.700
to<00:20:08.079><c> think</c><00:20:08.299><c> back</c><00:20:08.900><c> to</c><00:20:09.339><c> that</c><00:20:09.619><c> conversation</c><00:20:10.220><c> from</c><00:20:10.519><c> before.</c>

00:20:12.059 --> 00:20:15.740
Knowing<00:20:12.400><c> the</c><00:20:12.819><c> context</c><00:20:13.680><c> of</c><00:20:14.079><c> what</c><00:20:14.299><c> someone</c><00:20:14.539><c> is</c><00:20:14.819><c> talking</c><00:20:15.140><c> about</c>

00:20:15.740 --> 00:20:21.319
is<00:20:16.420><c> the</c><00:20:16.660><c> only</c><00:20:17.000><c> way</c><00:20:17.420><c> to</c><00:20:18.380><c> have</c><00:20:19.779><c> that</c><00:20:20.160><c> conversation.</c>

00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:24.539
And<00:20:22.319><c> similarly,</c><00:20:23.539><c> the</c><00:20:23.619><c> book</c><00:20:23.859><c> of</c><00:20:24.019><c> Leviticus</c>

00:20:24.539 --> 00:20:29.200
opens,<00:20:26.140><c> and</c><00:20:26.619><c> the</c><00:20:27.500><c> Lord</c><00:20:27.779><c> called</c><00:20:28.019><c> to</c><00:20:28.200><c> Moses.</c>

00:20:29.819 --> 00:20:31.559
And<00:20:30.079><c> so</c><00:20:30.200><c> to</c><00:20:30.420><c> know</c><00:20:30.539><c> what's</c><00:20:30.859><c> going</c><00:20:31.039><c> on</c><00:20:31.299><c> here,</c>

00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:33.619
we<00:20:31.680><c> really</c><00:20:32.039><c> can't</c><00:20:32.500><c> start</c><00:20:32.779><c> at</c><00:20:33.039><c> verse</c><00:20:33.319><c> 1.</c>

00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:37.220
So<00:20:33.880><c> to</c><00:20:34.220><c> truly</c><00:20:34.640><c> know</c><00:20:35.140><c> where</c><00:20:35.759><c> we're</c><00:20:36.359><c> starting</c><00:20:36.660><c> here</c>

00:20:42.740 --> 00:20:46.200
In<00:20:42.940><c> the</c><00:20:43.160><c> beginning,</c><00:20:43.579><c> God</c><00:20:43.980><c> created</c><00:20:44.519><c> the</c><00:20:44.779><c> heavens</c><00:20:45.220><c> and</c><00:20:45.579><c> the</c><00:20:45.759><c> earth</c>

00:35:25.380 --> 00:35:29.539

00:36:10.700 --> 00:36:14.440
The<00:36:11.260><c> tabernacle</c><00:36:11.820><c> is</c><00:36:12.199><c> often</c><00:36:12.460><c> called</c><00:36:12.699><c> the</c><00:36:12.980><c> tent</c><00:36:13.219><c> of</c><00:36:13.619><c> meeting.</c>

00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:18.139
God<00:36:15.900><c> says,</c><00:36:16.119><c> I</c><00:36:16.300><c> will</c><00:36:16.559><c> speak</c><00:36:16.820><c> to</c><00:36:17.019><c> you</c><00:36:17.139><c> there.</c>

And<00:36:24.579><c> I</c><00:36:24.719><c> think</c><00:36:24.900><c> it's</c><00:36:25.659><c> easy</c><00:36:26.039><c> for</c><00:36:26.300><c> us</c><00:36:26.679><c> as</c><00:36:27.159><c> Christadelphians</c>

00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:39.579
Not<00:36:38.420><c> like</c><00:36:38.639><c> the</c><00:36:38.739><c> way</c><00:36:38.860><c> that</c><00:36:39.000><c> you</c><00:36:39.119><c> have</c><00:36:39.239><c> a</c><00:36:39.440><c> meeting</c>

See,<00:36:58.199><c> the</c><00:36:58.420><c> tabernacle</c><00:36:58.719><c> was</c><00:36:58.940><c> not</c><00:36:59.139><c> meant</c><00:36:59.480><c> just</c><00:36:59.860><c> to</c><00:37:00.039><c> be</c><00:37:00.199><c> a</c><00:37:00.400><c> place</c>

00:37:00.579 --> 00:37:03.920

00:37:11.880 --> 00:37:14.480
For<00:37:12.059><c> the</c><00:37:12.320><c> tabernacle</c><00:37:12.699><c> to</c><00:37:13.059><c> truly</c><00:37:13.420><c> be</c><00:37:13.900><c> completed,</c>

00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:17.780
it<00:37:14.800><c> needed</c><00:37:15.039><c> to</c><00:37:15.400><c> serve</c><00:37:15.699><c> both</c><00:37:16.239><c> of</c><00:37:16.599><c> these</c><00:37:16.800><c> purposes.</c>

00:37:50.579 --> 00:37:56.059

See,<00:41:07.969><c> there's</c><00:41:08.210><c> no</c><00:41:08.389><c> denying</c><00:41:09.030><c> that</c><00:41:09.530><c> Leviticus</c>

00:41:10.090 --> 00:41:12.710
is<00:41:10.429><c> a</c><00:41:10.670><c> challenging</c><00:41:11.210><c> book</c><00:41:11.690><c> to</c><00:41:12.010><c> understand</c>

00:41:17.409 --> 00:41:19.289
It<00:41:17.590><c> takes</c><00:41:18.130><c> time.</c>

00:41:20.630 --> 00:41:25.769
Right,<00:41:21.050><c> so</c><00:41:21.349><c> this</c><00:41:21.570><c> is</c><00:41:23.349><c> just</c><00:41:24.610><c> a</c><00:41:24.789><c> really</c><00:41:25.110><c> introduction</c>

00:41:29.190 --> 00:41:31.869

00:41:50.590 --> 00:41:53.690
David<00:41:50.829><c> writes</c><00:41:51.210><c> in</c><00:41:52.329><c> Psalm</c><00:41:52.630><c> 16,</c><00:41:53.309><c> he</c><00:41:53.510><c> says,</c>
