READING LIST FOR LAW AND HISTORY

King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Leviticus 19

Today's Reading Leviticus 19

Leviticus 19 deals with a variety of laws. The first thing God reminded Israel, as He reminds us 'Be holy, because I, the Lord your God am, Holy'. If we are holy as he is holy we would love the Lord and our neighbor as ourselves. He reminds them not to turn to idolatry. Why, because it was their downfall, we see for the next 800 years, there was constant idol worship, of Baal, Molech and other gods. God reminded the people of the Ten Commandments. We need to be constantly reminded because we are a people of short-sightedness and short term memory when it come to the things of God. The chapter spoke about how we should treat the handicapped persons those who were deaf and blind, our orphans and widows, and senior citizens. The idea of picking grapes and leaving some for the poor, reminds me of Ruth in the Bible who could glean along the edge so that she could get some food to eat. The practice of divination or sorcery was forbidden (27, 31). Many of the laws that God had instituted with the Israelites are again reflection of loving God and our neighbor as ourselves. This was written some 3500 years ago and please read the chapter carefully and see how practical this passage is today.
