581 - Additional Regulations from Moses

​Additional Regulations from Moses

“If someone has committed a crime, worthy of death, and is executed, and hung on a tree, the body must not remain hanging, from the tree,  overnight. 

You must bury the body that same day, for anyone, who is hung, is cursed, in the sight of God. 

In this way, you will prevent the defilement, of the land the Lord, your God, is giving you, as your special possession…

“If you see your neighbor’s ox, or sheep, or goat wandering away, don’t ignore your responsibility. Take it back to its owner. 

If its owner does not live nearby, or you don’t know who the owner is, take it to your place, and keep it until the owner comes looking for it.  Then you must return it. 

Do the same, if you find your neighbor’s donkey, or clothing, or anything else, that your neighbor loses. 

Don’t ignore your responsibility. 

“If you see that your neighbor’s donkey or ox has collapsed on the road, do not look the other way. 

Go and help your neighbor, to get it back on its feet!…

“A woman must not put on men’s clothing, and a man must not wear women’s clothing. 

Anyone, who does this, is detestable, in the sight of the Lord, your God…

“If you happen to find a bird’s nest, in a tree or on the ground, and there are young ones or eggs in it with the mother, sitting in the nest, do not take the mother, with the young. 

You may take the young, but let the mother go, so that you may prosper and enjoy a long life…

“When you build a new house, you must build a railing, around the edge of its flat roof. 

That way you will not be considered guilty of murder, if someone falls from the roof…

“You must not plant any other crop, between the rows of your vineyard. 

If you do, you are forbidden to use either the grapes from the vineyard or the other crop…

“You must not plow with an ox and a donkey harnessed together…

“You must not wear clothing made of wool and linen woven together…

“You must put four tassels, on the hem of the cloak, with which you cover yourself—on the front, back, and sides.

Deuteronomy 21:22–22:12 (NLT)

Praise be to God!

Moses Chooses Seventy Leaders

​ Moses Chooses Seventy Leaders The Lord said to Moses,  “Gather before Me …seventy men, who are recognized, as elders and leaders of Israel.  Bring them to the Tabernacle, to stand there with you.  I will come down and talk to you there.  I will take some of the Spirit …that is upon you, and I will put this Spirit, upon them.  They will bear the burden, of the people, along with you, so you will not have to carry it alone.  “And say to the people,  ‘Purify yourselves, for tomorrow you will have meat to eat.  You were whining, and the Lord heard you when you cried…  “Oh, for some meat!  We were better off in Egypt!”  Now the Lord will give you meat, and you will have to eat it.  And it won’t be for just a day …or two, or for five, or ten, or even twenty.  You will eat it for a whole month until you gag and are sick of it.  For you have rejected the Lord, Who is here among you, and you have whined to Him, saying,  “Why did we ever leave Egypt?” ’ ”  But Moses responded to the Lord,  “Th

1046 - Israel Celebrates Passover

Israel Celebrates Passover When everything was ready for the Passover celebration, the priests and the Levites took their places, organized by their divisions, as the king had commanded.  The Levites then slaughtered the Passover lambs …and presented the blood to the priests, who sprinkled the blood on the altar, while the Levites prepared the animals.  They divided the burnt offerings, among the people, by their family groups, so they could offer them to the Lord, as prescribed, in the Book of Moses.  They did the same with the cattle.  Then, they roasted the Passover lambs, as prescribed; and they boiled the holy offerings… in pots, kettles, and pans, …and they brought them out quickly, so the people could eat them.  Afterward, the Levites prepared Passover offerings, for themselves and for the priests—the descendants of Aaron—because the priests had been busy, from morning till night, offering the burnt offerings, and the fat portions.  The Levites took responsibility for all these
