Uh, well. I really don't know what I am going to do with this one.
It seems pretty clear from reading this passage that boys were held in higher esteem than girls. Periods were unclean and required a sin offering and a burnt offering.
I am no Biblical scholar but how can something God created my body to do on it's own be a sin? Maybe someone has a good answer for this. Please share if you do. I am learning as I go with this one and I am a little scared to do a google search. I am guessing it is all about the blood.
I don't have this problem anymore but I can't imagine having to go out and by pads and tampons and then pick up a lamb and pigeon as well. And there are 3 girls in this house. Yikes!
My take away here tonight is that I can't skip over readings in the Old Testament because they clearly help me understand the New Testament. I never imagined I would learn so much from this study of Leviticus. Stepping out and embracing this book has drawn me even closer to God and really boosted my knowledge. Lots of A-Ha moments happening this month.
So try to remember during your monthly visit that at least you don't have to buy a lamb and pigeon. Praise you Lord for that!
