I like this verse and the idea very much!! You may say, “I dont have a field,” and feel that there is no way to apply this application of gleaning in your life. But it can be. Leaving something in the “corner of your field” could apply to anything you are reaping the fruit or [...]

Lev 19:9-10:”When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the alien. I am the Lord your God” Leave a comment
Lev 25:17-19: Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear they God: for I am the Lord your God. Leave a comment
Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgements, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land of safety. And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.” God’s law is full of promises of blessings to His people. Man’s law is essentially [...]
Lev 19:12: And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD. Leave a comment
A false oath is forbidden where God’s name is involved. Note that the law reads “by my name.” The modern oath is godless: the court requires, in many states, that we swear “to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth” merely on our affirmation and the courts demand. Such a court [...]
Lev 5:16: And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him. Leave a comment
The early church was severe in its judgment on sacrilege, and its decrees were in terms of the mosaic Law. Until Enlightenment began to replace God’s law with man’s reason, sacrilege was normally regarded as a very serious matter. Now it is rarely mentioned or taken seriously.
Leviticus Leave a comment
The Hebrew title for the book of Leviticus is translated “and He called.” The subject matter of Leviticus is dedicated to worship. Leviticus begins where Exodus ends–with the people of Israel at Mount Sinai. The latter chapters of Exodus record the completion of the tabernacle (Ex 40:33). Leviticus deals with God instructions concerning worship in [...]
Lev 19:18: “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.” Leave a comment
Of course this echoes the words of Jesus who claimed this and “love the Lord your God with all Your heart,” as the two greatest commandments. “All the Law and the Prophets hang on these.” He said . To note, many people claim that when Jesus said that if you hate someone it is equal [...]
Lev 19:3: “Each of you must respect his mother and father, and you must observe my Sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.” Leave a comment
Both mother and father are spoken of with a togetherness that indicates the need to respect or honor both. It also indicates they are together in a constant relationship with each other as well as with the children who are being told that they should continue that respect. The child is not meant to make [...]
Lev 18:21: “And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord”. 1 comment
While this scripture refers to physical child sacrifice, it applies to any act of irresponsibility or negilgence by which Christian fathers would sacrifice their children covenentally to pagan gods. (i.e., the state?) While relatively little is known of the concept of divine kingship, the king as god, and the god as king, as the divine-human [...]
