Rules about the Day of Atonement
Leviticus 16:15-19
Aaron performs the atonement in the Holy Place out of the site of the children of Israel
v15 Aaron must kill the goat for the sin offering. It is a gift to the Lord from the people. He must take the blood behind the curtain. He must shake the blood on the lid of the Covenant Box as he did with the bull’s blood. And he must shake the blood in front of the lid of the Covenant Box.
v16 This will make atonement for all the sins of Israel’s people. This will make the Holy Place clean. Aaron must do the same for the Tent of Meeting. That is because the people have done bad things in the camp. The Tent of meeting is in the middle of the camp.
v17 Aaron must give the offerings to the Lord. He must give them for his family and he must give them for his servants. He must give them for all the people. Nobody can go into the Tent of Meeting while Aaron is in the Most Holy Place. He must be alone when he goes in. And he must be alone until he comes out. He must be alone when he gives the offerings to the Lord. Those offerings are for himself, for his family and for all Israel’s people. v18 He must go to the altar that is in front of the Lord. He must make atonement for it. He must take blood from the bull (male cow) and blood from the goat. He must put the blood on the corners of the altar.
v19 He must shake blood on the altar seven times to make it clean.

The Feast of Tabernacles
Go and teach all nations
The Feasts of the LORD
Leviticus 23:33-44
The Feast of Tabernacles
33 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
34 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to the LORD.
35 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it.
36 For seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. It is a sacred assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it.
37 ‘These are the feasts of the LORD which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering and a grain offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, everything on its day—
38 besides the Sabbaths of the LORD, besides your gifts, besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings which you give to the LORD.
39 ‘Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of the LORD for seven days; on the first day there shall be a Sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a Sabbath-rest.
40 And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days.
41 You shall keep it as a feast to the LORD for seven days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your generations. You shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
42 You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths,
43 that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.’”
44 So Moses declared to the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.

37 ‘These are the feasts of the LORD which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering and a grain offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, everything on its day—
38 besides the Sabbaths of the LORD, besides your gifts, besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings which you give to the LORD.
39 ‘Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of the LORD for seven days; on the first day there shall be a Sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a Sabbath-rest.
40 And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days.
41 You shall keep it as a feast to the LORD for seven days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your generations. You shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
42 You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths,
43 that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.’”
44 So Moses declared to the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.

Rules for a house that has an illness called mildew
Leviticus 14:33-48
The owner of the house must say to the Priests about the mildew in his house
v33 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
v34 ‘The country called Canaan is my gift to you. I may put an illness called mildew in a house in that country.
v35 If a person finds mildew in his house, he must tell the priest. He must say, “I have found something like mildew in my house.”
v36 The priest will tell the person what he should do. The person must take everything out of the house. If he does, those things will still be clean. Then the priest will go into the house.
v37 He will look at the walls of the house. He will look for a green or red mark. If the mark goes into the wall,
v38 the priest will leave the house. He will shut it up for 7 (seven) days.
v39 On the 7th day, the priest will return to the house. The mildew may be bigger.
v40 The priest must say, “You must remove the stones that have mildew.” The person must put the stones outside the town. He must put them in a special place.
v41 The person must cut the clay from inside the walls of the house. The person must put the clay from the walls outside the town. The person must put it in a place for things that are not clean.
v42 The person who lives in the house must get some more stones. He must get some more clay. Then he can mend the wall.
v43 A person might find mildew on the wall that he has mended. He must tell the priest.
v44 The priest will look at the house. If the mildew is on more of the mended wall, the house is not clean.
v45 The person must break the house into pieces. The person who lives in the house must put the stones outside the town. He must put the wood and the clay outside the town. He must put them in the place for things that are not clean.
v46 A person may go into the house while it is shut up. If he does, he will not become clean until evening.
v47 Any person who sleeps in a house with mildew must wash his clothes. And any person who eats in a house with mildew must wash his clothes.
v48 If a person mends his house, the priest must look at it. There may not be any mildew. So, the priest will say that it is clean.

v32 These are the rules for a person who had an illness in his skin. They are for an illness that he might give to other people. They are for people who are too poor to buy three sheep.’

On the eighth day the priest brought the clean person to the door of the Tent of Meeting with the offerings to the LORD
v10 On the 8th day, the person must bring two young male sheep and one female sheep. The female sheep must be one year old. All the animals must be perfect. He must also bring 3/10th of an ephah of flour (about 6 liters or 12 pints) mixed with oil. And he must bring a log (about 0.3 liters or half a pint) of oil.
v11 The priest who is making him clean must be there. He must bring the person to the door of the Tent of Meeting. The person must bring with him his offerings to the Lord.
v12 The priest must take one of the male sheep and the oil. He must lift them up to the Lord as a gift.
v13 He must kill the sheep at the north side of the altar. That is where they kill the sin offering and the burnt offering. The gift is holy. It is food for the priests.
v14 The priest must put some of the blood on the lowest part of the person’s right ear. He must put blood on the thumb of the person’s right hand. And he must put blood on the big toe of the person’s right foot.
v15 The priest must pour some of the oil into his own left hand.
v16 He must put a finger from his right hand into the oil. He must shake the oil seven times in front of the altar.
v17 The priest must put oil on the lowest part of the person’s right ear. He must put some of the oil on the thumb of the person’s right hand. He must put some of the oil on the big toe of the person’s right foot. He will put the oil on top of the offering’s blood.
v18 The priest must put the oil that he did not use on the person’s head. This makes his atonement in front of the Lord.
v19 Then the priest must offer the sin offering. That will make atonement for the man who will become clean. Then the priest must kill another sheep. It is a burnt offering.
v20 The priest must sacrifice the dead animal. It is a burnt offering. The priest must offer it on the altar. He must burn the flour and the oil with it on the altar. All this will make atonement for the person. This makes the person who had the illness clean.
