About this episode

This episode discusses the instructions for ritual purity in Leviticus 11-15 and their significance in relation to God's covenant with Israel and the preparation for Christ.

Leviticus 11-15, pt. 3 Leviticus 11-15 gives Israel instructions for ritual purity, so that they can honor God by drawing near to his sacred tent in a ritually pure state. These chapters make clear what causes ritual impurity and what they need to do in order to be clean again. All of this is part of God's covenant with Israel. This recording wraps up these instructions by looking at the instructions on ritually defiling infestations in houses and bodily discharges. It these gives some theological reflections that helps us see why these laws matter and how they prepare the way for Christ.
