moses 5-4-3 continued
leviticus 23
until now: exodus chapters 1-12 mostly tell of the ten punishments on egypt for enslaving israelites as explained to abraam from the beginning "also the nation that enslaves them i will judge", 12-25 tell israelites exit=exodus egypt and go through sea to the desert and 25-40 tell about the wood tent and its utensils, with much repeating. leviticus 1-7 tells of the types of sacrafice "up" and flour and peace and sin and thank, 8-25 are varied laws summarised in the previous post until 26 however the holy days deserve attention.
josepus begins his parallel of leviticus with a detailed summary of the sacrifices whose details are repeated numerous times in leviticus and scattered to "make big the teaching" @isaiah and burden the readers with extra words. following the sacrifices are the holidays which are all dates for sacrifice except one: "the law demands we" erect tent in the house on the 15 day of the seventh lunar month.
note that in josepus the months are lunar by the moon cycle of new moon also note he includes himself "enjoins us demands we" and that this is a command- like the "taking in the hand of a fruit and three types of branches"- from the law, in contrast to other customs in that section that are mere customs. josepus blends together the content scattered in leviticus 16 and 23 and numbers 28-29 together in the form a wise god commanded- preserving the original which rabbis ruined scattering the details with burdensome repititions for the goal of "make big the teaching"as above.
josepus located the holy days=holidays 23 near the sin sacrifice of chapter 4! and only a few details of these 19 chapters are in his parallel book. josepus pledged to fill in what is missing and keeps his commitment by including a few more details with the laws in his parallel of deuteronomy preserving the original prophecy before the rabbis added vast amounts of laws which fill what we call chapters 8-23 of leviticus. as we learned from aarons sons god hates additions it is hard to distinguish and i might have included something not divine by mistake in my summary of leviticus, much is not the original prophecy from god.
the holy days: weekly sabat and holidays are all to kill animals like the new-moon-day numbers 28.11 josepus adds passover is the beginning of the jew-year. about yom kipur day of atonement the law said "initem" like exodus 10.3 submit to god that we need atonement unlike some people feel guilty in a way that interferes with function and that is not the idea "we need atonement" nor those who say "i am good enough" in fact for gods glory we all need atonement and we are commanded "initem" submit and say to god "you say i need atonement so i need." no command "thou shalt not eat" nor the positive command in ester "fast all for me" it is absent and when we see they fasting we recognize a baseless rabbinic burden. sadly no jew who fasts noticed that the word "initem" is not only different from ester but also is like exodus 10.3 as mentioned. i told a jew it means "submit" and he responded "submit by fasting" however that is baseless- absent a need for fasting and the context is "submit to atonement" and god hates those who add as we learn from the sons of aron "what god did not command them". i think the absence of sacrifices cause the jews to fast- they know without sacrifice they are doomed- so they try hunger, in contrast to the jew-talmud-story of one who sinned on sabat and he wrote he will bring a sin offering when the temple is built- that is the jew-tradition! not to burden people with a fast that god never commanded clearly. 8 year olds want to fast like the adults and are told to eat and that is good but then they fast the first time and realize how hard it is- not noting that what ester said "zumu" was never commanded for this date. sadly they suffer for nothing not for god because "simon never said so you are out" and actualy enrage god with the addition.
that summarizes the holidays all for killing animals- except the "tent in the house" and the fruit and branches in the hand- on the first day according to levitiucs i do not know any jew that obeys this without adding more days than god comanded. they even bles "you god commanded us" and do not even notice that the rabbis added it and god hates those who add.
chapters 24-25 are varied laws 26 clarifies the covenant of moses- if you disobey god- body suffers like deuteronomy 6. this is a great gift according to new testament romans 5.14 without covenant "death reigned" on everyone and ephesians 2.12-15 "no hope" so moses bring a great gift from god to israel- not excluding gentiles as ruth joined, but given to those "beloved for their ancestors" romans 11.28-29 and for example egyptians at the time of moses are like all before moses: no hope and did not even want. in contrast the law gave acts to do for hope. sin brought pain to body and no rain, instead of death. another item unnoticed "these commands" in leviticus 26 has been interpreted in oral tradition as a limit! GASP no more commands or anything from this limit! the only commands to do are until this limit: like the holidays but no more commands from this point. what follows is only to read including reading the word "do" in numbers. in conflict with this tradition, jews insist on doing even what is after this limit "these" i informed orthodox rabbis and reform rabbis of this oral tradition but i saw that god was corect in calling them "a stiff necked nation" even when it requires denying oral tradition. do+do+do. see for yourself talmud mgila 2b and sabat104a on leviticus "these". any law after this point is excluded from commands and was written to read not a command to do. both based on the text "these" and the specific oral tradition. no prayer shawl before this point means...
no prayer shawl. leviticus concludes with more varied ideas to read but excluded from comands.
