Numbers 28-31 A bloody mess.

Chs 28-29

28:3-8  Daily sacrifice - morning & evening - one lamb at each, grain offering, drink offering.
Sabbath - 2 x lambs
New moon - 2 x young bulls, 1 ram, 7 male lambs - all without defect
Feast of unleavened bread & Passover - 2 bulls, ram, 7 male lambs - all without defect
Feast of weeks - 2 bulls, 1 ram, 7 male lambs - all without defect
Day of Atonement - 1 young bull, 1 ram, 7 male lambs - all without defect
Feast of Tabernacles - 13 young bulls, 2 rams, 14 male lambs - all without defect

The sacrifices were there as an annual reminder that the blood of animals never could take away sins - it required one who had been sinned against to come and to make full atonement.  Only Jesus could do this.

Ch 30

What we say is important - we should let our 'yes' be 'yes' & our 'no' be 'no'.

A woman's relationship with father and husband should be honourable.  We are to have dignity and honour in our relationships.

Ch 31

As Christians, we are to deal with sin as severely - cf Col 3:5-11.

The chapter is a reminder of the dependency we have on each other.  No man is an island.  We need each other and to care for each other.
