Scripture Read:
Leviticus 5 - 8
Insight Verse(s):
8:22 And he brought the second ram, the ram of consecration. Then Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram, 23 and Moses killed it. Also he took some of its blood and put it on the tip of Aaron’s right ear, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
Insight Gained:
I think God has a sense of humor. I believe that God tells Moses to do these things just to see if he will do them. I am sure that scholars will dispute the fact and point out that I am wrong and that there is in fact a logical reason to put blood on your toe, thumb and ear all on the right side. But me... I believe that God is testing Moses faith, and I think that making him do something strange is just a way of seeing how far Moses will go for God. What makes me laugh though is imagining Aaron's face as Moses approaches him with the blood and I can see him looking at Moses and saying; "You want to put what... where?" "What will blood on my big toe or my ear and thumb do, and why the right side?"
My Prayer to God:
Lord, thank you for laughter and thank you for laughing with us and at us as we travel through this world you have created.
