Leviticus

There are many things going on in Leviticus. Lots of things God is telling Moses to tell the people of Israel so they can begin to have order and laws set up. Honestly, I was getting kind of bored reading the chapters, since I knew most of this really didn't pertained to us anymore, until I got to chapter 18. Chapter 18 started getting into the things that do still apply today and 19  kind of blew my mind away.

Leviticus 18 goes through sexuality. From incest, homosexuality, and even beastiality.

Leviticus 19 gets even deeper into what we should be doing.

• Keep the Sabbath. This website will show you that is indeed on "our" Saturday. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_calendar#Day
• Do not worship idols.
• Don't lie or swear.
• Don't steal.
• Be kind to everyone.
• Have thoroughbred cattle, pure seeds, and 1 thread garments. I started to think about how we are trying to be more organic and go back to our roots in how we live and eat. In our family now, we only eat pure bred cattle and I am only going to grow things for my garden from untreated, organic seed. I have been researching the 1 thread garments. I think it is saying not to mix any threads. Your clothes should be for instance 100% cotton. In another translation it also says not to mix linen and wool. It's interesting that when you mix linen and wool threads, they can combust... It also resembles the mixing of 2 different kinds of animals and/or plants, which is forbidden.
• Do not seek fortune tellers.
• Do not eat raw meat.
• Do not cut your hair or your beard.
• No tattoos.
• Show respect for the elderly.
• Be honest in dealing with money.

Leviticus 23 says we should be keeping the Biblical holy days (holidays).

• Passover
• Feast of Unleavened Bread
• First Fruits
• Feast of Trumpets
• Day of Atonement
• Feast of Tabernacles
