00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,040
Hello, this is Father Paul and I'm glad we're taking this journey together to read the Bible

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,200
in a year.

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:12,880
Today we begin the Book of the Virgis, the Book of the Law as commended by God to Moses.

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:18,260
Alright let's begin, today's reading is from chapters 1, 2 and 3.

5
00:00:18,260 --> 00:00:19,640
Chapter 1.

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,720
Now the Lord called to Moses and spoke to him from the tabernacle of meeting, saying,

7
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:28,640
Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, When any one of you brings an offering

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,880
to the Lord, you shall bring an offering of the livestock, of the herd, and of the flock.

9
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,620
If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish.

10
00:00:38,620 --> 00:00:42,700
He shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before

11
00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:43,860
the Lord.

12
00:00:43,860 --> 00:00:47,640
Then he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted

13
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,240
on his behalf to make atonement for him.

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,720
He shall kill the bull before the Lord, and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the

15
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,240
blood and sprinkle the blood all around the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,560
of meeting.

17
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,080
And he shall skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.

18
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,480
The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar and lay the wood in order on

19
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:09,480
the fire.

20
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:14,360
Then the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head and the fat in order on

21
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,500
the wood that is on the fire upon the altar.

22
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:21,180
But he shall wash its entrails and its legs with water.

23
00:01:21,180 --> 00:01:25,440
And the priest shall burn all on the altar as a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by

24
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,220
fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.

25
00:01:28,220 --> 00:01:33,240
If his offering is of the flocks, of the sheep, or of the goats, as a burnt sacrifice, he

26
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,180
shall bring a male without blemish.

27
00:01:35,180 --> 00:01:38,580
He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the Lord.

28
00:01:38,580 --> 00:01:43,640
And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar.

29
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,440
And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat.

30
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,080
Then the priests shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire upon the altar.

31
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,560
But he shall wash the entrails and the legs with water.

32
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,040
Then the priest shall bring it all and burn it on the altar.

33
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,600
It is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.

34
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,760
And if the burnt sacrifice of his offering to the Lord is of birds, then he shall bring

35
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,520
his offering of turtle doves or young pigeons.

36
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,340
The priest shall bring it to the altar, wring off its head and burn it on the altar.

37
00:02:14,340 --> 00:02:18,600
Its blood shall be drained at the side of the altar, and he shall remove its crop with

38
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,980
its feathers and cast it beside the altar on the east side, into the place for ashes.

39
00:02:23,980 --> 00:02:28,340
Then he shall split it at its wings, but shall not divide it completely.

40
00:02:28,340 --> 00:02:30,700
And the priest shall burn it on the altar.

41
00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:35,440
On the wood that is on the fire, it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet

42
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,480
aroma to the Lord.

43
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,440
Chapter 2 When anyone offers a grain offering to the

44
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:45,680
Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour, and he shall pour oil on it and put frankincense

45
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:46,820
on it.

46
00:02:46,820 --> 00:02:51,920
He shall bring it to Aaron's sons, the priests, one of whom shall take from it his handful

47
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:55,220
of fine flour and oil with all the frankincense.

48
00:02:55,220 --> 00:02:59,760
And the priest shall burn it as a memorial on the altar, an offering made by fire, a

49
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,760
sweet aroma to the Lord.

50
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,920
The rest of the grain offering shall be Aaron's and his sons.

51
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:08,920
It is most holy of the offerings to the Lord made by fire.

52
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:13,620
And if you bring as an offering a grain offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened

53
00:03:13,620 --> 00:03:19,200
cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.

54
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:24,460
But if your offering is a grain offering baked in a pan, it shall be of fine flour, unleavened,

55
00:03:24,460 --> 00:03:26,000
mixed with oil.

56
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,920
You shall break it in pieces and pour oil on it.

57
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:30,780
It is a grain offering.

58
00:03:30,780 --> 00:03:35,120
If your offering is a grain offering baked in a covered pan, it shall be made of fine

59
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,680
flour with oil.

60
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,420
You shall bring the grain offering that is made of these things to the Lord.

61
00:03:40,420 --> 00:03:43,920
And when it is presented to the priest, he shall bring it to the altar.

62
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,600
Then the priest shall take from the grain offering a memorial portion and burn it on

63
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:48,600
the altar.

64
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,260
It is an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.

65
00:03:52,260 --> 00:03:55,640
And what is left of the grain offering shall be Aaron's and his sons.

66
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,720
It is most holy of the offerings to the Lord made by fire.

67
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,380
No grain offering which you bring to the Lord shall be made with leaven.

68
00:04:03,380 --> 00:04:09,220
For you shall burn no leaven nor any honey in any offering to the Lord made by fire.

69
00:04:09,220 --> 00:04:12,800
As for the offering of the first fruits, you shall offer them to the Lord.

70
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,120
But they shall not be burned on the altar for a sweet aroma.

71
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,800
And every offering of your grain offering you shall season with salt.

72
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,520
You shall not allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your grain

73
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:24,580
offering.

74
00:04:24,580 --> 00:04:27,300
With all your offerings you shall offer salt.

75
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:31,400
If you offer a grain offering of your first fruits to the Lord, you shall offer for the

76
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:36,520
grain offering of your first fruits green heads of grain roasted on the fire, grain

77
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,680
beaten from full heads.

78
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,920
And you shall put oil on it and lay frankincense on it.

79
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,200
It is a grain offering.

80
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:48,520
Then the priest shall burn the memorial portion, part of its beaten grain and part of its oil,

81
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,320
with all the frankincense, as an offering made by fire to the Lord.

82
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,760
Chapter 3 When his offering is the sacrifice of a peace

83
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,080
offering, if he offers it to the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it without

84
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,880
blemish before the Lord.

85
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,960
And he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering and kill it at the door of the tabernacle

86
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:07,960
of meeting.

87
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,320
And Aaron's sons, the priests, shall sprinkle the blood all around the altar.

88
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,040
Then he shall offer from the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire

89
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,240
to the Lord.

90
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,620
The fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails, the two kidneys

91
00:05:21,620 --> 00:05:26,200

94
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:38,720
wood that is on the fire, as an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.

95
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:43,060
If his offering as a sacrifice of a peace offering to the Lord is of the flock, whether

96
00:05:43,060 --> 00:05:46,200

97
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,120
If he offers a lamb as his offering, then he shall offer it before the Lord.

98
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,600
And he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering and kill it before the tabernacle

99
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:54,600

00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:20,080
