Leprosy in the Gospels

God’s Sanctuary represents immortality and incorruptibility. In His presence, there is no death, no decay, and no decomposition. Therefore, He bans from His Sanctuary the disease that represents a living decomposition. Leprosy involves an ongoing, visible progression toward physical corruption. It is the antithesis of the immortal and incorruptible world represented in God’s Sanctuary.

Aaron's Grief

Therapists encourage people to let their feelings out and to avoid bottling up emotions. This may be a good policy while in the therapist's office, but it is not a good way to conduct life. Of course we should be honest about our feelings, but it is not always appropriate in every situation.

Topics:

Abihu, emotions, feelings, glory, Levitical worship, mourning, Nadab, presence of God, priesthood, Shemini

Studying Torah Requires Searching the Scriptures

If one person started with the last Hebrew word of the Torah and started counted backwards, one word at a time, and another person simultaneously started with the first Hebrew word of the Torah, and started counting forward, one word at a time, they would meet at the exact center. Where would that be?

Topics:

drash, midrash, scriptures, searching, Shemini, study

Topics:
