Leviticus 9 Aaron's first offering was the sin offering and the burnt offering to make atonement for him and the people. Mercy needed to come through the atoning blood.
The offering was accepted and God showed His acceptance by showing His glory to all people.
Ch 10
Nadab and Abihu offered unauthorised fire before the Lord - therefore the fire came out and consumed them. He is not to be messed with. He chooses how things will be done and will reign supreme.
Ch 11
There are things that God considers holy and pure, and others that are considered unholy and impure.
The coming of God to dwell among them brought a change in behaviour - they were to be different people.
Mark 7:14-23 shows that Jesus was declaring foods clean to eat & saying these distinctions were no longer binding.
Ch 12-13
The child still had to be circumcised to be considered a Jew.
The plague of leprosy and the plague of sin both contaminate and exclude. As believers, we need to deal with our sin and be made clean.
