Well, hey everybody, welcome back to Teach Me the Bible Podcast. My name is Phil Porter alongside Dr. David Klingler, and we are nearing the end of the book of Leviticus, and uh we are in chapter 23 today. So if you follow along with a regular Bible, you can flip there. Uh if not, and you're listening in the car or wherever you're at, thank you for listening uh and tuning in. But uh we have a uh very common phrase that is throughout Leviticus that we're going to be reading again at the very beginning, and it is the Lord spoke again to Moses. It tends to be a trend in this book that he speaks to Moses and then Moses speaks to Aaron. And so um from here, not really sure how far we're gonna get today, but um we'll just let the let you guide the discussion.

God’s Appointed Times Explained

Dr. David Klingler 1:14

So let's dive right in. Yeah, we'll jump in. Um so yeah, 23.1, the Lord spoke again to Moses, saying, speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, the Lord's appointed times, which you shall proclaim as holy convocation or holy callings, my appointed times or my uh, you know, my festivals, maybe that's maybe how it's translated, are these. Uh and so we're gonna go down through the the days that that Israel was to commemorate, celebrate, remember. Um and it really is a rehearsal of their of their national deliverance, their deliverance from out of Egypt, um, their wanderings in the wilderness, their entrance into the land, the first fruits, the first time they you know eat from the land, all of this is going to be celebrated and remembered. What we would call tradition. Um, we don't like the word tradition in many of our circles and in many of our church circles. Certainly our Protestant uh circles, um, tradition is kind of the enemy. Um, but uh it's a reminder of why we do what we do. It's interesting that that people who come from a more Protestant Baptist, maybe even background, and then they go to what we would call more of a high church, more of a uh, you know, there's a process, a repeated weekly service tradition. Uh people find a lot of meaning in the tradition. Um for the people who just uh you know get used to the tradition and they don't know why they do what they do, then they really value the teaching of the Bible, and then they go, Oh, uh, that's why we used to do that, right? So, and so uh you have to go, uh you have to put the teaching of the word, the telling of the story. And Moses is going to tell Israel this um in days to come when your sons ask, why do we do these things, these statutes, these ordinances, keep these commands? You tell them about the Exodus, right? This is more of the same. Uh, and so the first one we come to

Sabbath Rest And Passover

Dr. David Klingler 3:18

is in uh 23.3. For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there shall be a Sabbath. Sabbath, the the word just means rest, a complete rest, a complete Sabbath. Um, this is a holy festival, a holy convert convocation, a holy day. You shall not do any work. It is the Sabbath. Uh, it is a Sabbath to the Lord in all your dwellings. And these are the appointed times which uh of the Lord, the holy convocations, which you shall proclaim at the times appointed for them. In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight, this is the Lord's Passover. This commemorates the book of Exodus, the uh the Passover lamb, the deliverance out of Egypt. And they were to commemorate this every year the first month, the fourteenth day. Then on the fifteenth day, the same day uh of the same month, there is to be a feast of unleavened bread. Uh the point here was that the uh they had to leave in haste. They didn't have time for the bread to rise, and so it was unleavened bread, and for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall have a holy commocation, you shall not do any laborious work. And so you've had the the Sabbath, the the these the the seventh day was a day of rest. Uh, and now in this um fifteenth day, uh in the uh the the feast of unleavened bread, this seven days, you shall uh not do any work on the fifteenth day, the first day, which was the fifteenth day. But for seven days you shall present an offering by fire to the Lord on the seventh day, it's a holy convocation, you're not to do any uh any labor. Uh then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, When you enter the land which I am going to give you, and you reap its harvest, uh you shall bring in a sheaf of the first fruits. Uh the word here actually is sheaf in uh in the Hebrew, uh it's not translated. Um it's a omer, it's a it's a measurement, a sheaf. And so uh there was uh you know, it's like a a bundle of grain, right? Uh in the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priests. So they when they entered the land and they enjoyed the the fruit of the ground for the first time, uh then they were to celebrate this. They were to take it to

Unleavened Bread And Firstfruits

Dr. David Klingler 5:50

the priest, uh, he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord for you to be accepted. On the day after the Sabbath, the priest will wave it. Um now on the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb, uh, one year old without defect for a burnt offering to the Lord. And the burnt uh what's interesting is they even in the book of Exodus, they were doing burnt offerings. In Genesis, uh they were doing burnt offerings, but the explanation of how exactly to do them is recorded early in Leviticus. We talked about that in in the earlier chapters. But here they're to offer a burnt offering to the Lord, uh, and a grain offering, its grain offering then, uh, shall be two tenths of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering by fire to the Lord, a soothing aroma. Uh this is our Noah word. We talked about this back previously in previous uh podcasts, uh, with its drink offering, a fourth of a hen of wine. Until this same day you shall have brought in the offering of the Lord, you shall eat neither bread nor roasted grain, nor new growth. It is to be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all of your dwelling places. It was a yearly commemoration of Israel's taking of the land, fulfillment of the Lord's promises that were given back in the book of Genesis to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. Um you shall count for yourselves, uh let's see, you shall count for yourselves uh from the day after the Sabbath, from the day when you're brought in the sheaf of the wave offering, there shall be seven complete Sabbaths. And you shall count fifty days. We call this Pentecost, right? This is um you know the day of Pentecost, familiar uh New Testament word, uh which we get out of the book of Acts, but this was a celebration, fifty days after the first fruits. Um you shall count fifty days from the day after the seventh Sabbath, then you shall present the

Pentecost And Provision For The Needy

Dr. David Klingler 7:50

grain offering to the Lord. You shall bring in from the dwelling places two loaves of bread, a wave offering, uh two tenths of uh epha. Uh they shall be of fine flour baked with leaven as first fruits to the Lord. Along with the bread, you shall present uh uh seven one-year-old lambs without defect, a bull of the herd and two rams. Uh they are burnt offering to the Lord, with the grain offering, and their drink offerings, and the offering by fire, the soothing aroma to the Lord. You shall offer the one male goat for the sin offering and two uh male lambs, one uh uh year old for a sacrifice of peace offerings. Then the priest shall wave them with the bread and the first fruits for a wave offering with the two lambs before the Lord. They are to be holy to the Lord for the priests. On this same day you are to make a proclamation as well. You are to have a holy convocation, you shall do no labor. It is to be a perpetual statutes in all your dwelling places throughout all your generations. When you reap the harvest of your land, moreover, you shall not reap the very corners of the field, nor gather any of the gleanings of the harvest. They are for the needy and for the alien, for I am the Lord. And so there is provision not only for Israel, for the landowners, uh, but for the needy. Uh there's going to be provision here in the coming chapters. What happens if someone gets into financial trouble and and gets into debt? What happens then? So there's a lot of details about Israel taking the land and the provision for how this was all

Trumpets Atonement And Booths

Dr. David Klingler 9:28

to go. Uh verse 23, and again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first of the month, you shall have uh a rest, a reminder of a blowing of a trumpet, a holy convocation. Uh you shall not do any labor, you shall not present any offerings by fire to the Lord. This was uh to the you know, the uh the feast of the trumpets. This was a blowing of the trumpets. Um there's not um there's debate about what exactly is going on here. The thing that comes to my mind is the you know, is when they entered into the land, uh they were gonna, you know, they're gonna blow the trumpet and you know, march around the the you know, the Jericho seven times gonna blow the trumpet, the the walls are gonna fall down. It seems that this is a uh a foreshadowing maybe of what's coming. But uh anyway, it was gonna be a blowing of the trumpets, a proclamation of the uh of the taking of the land. You shall not do any uh labor, uh, but you shall present an offering by fire to the Lord. And the Lord spoke to Moses again, verse 26, saying, Uh, on exactly the tenth day of the seventh month, this is the day of atonement. It shall be a holy convocation for you. And we've talked about atonement in uh in weeks past. Uh and you shall humble your souls and present an offering by fire to the Lord. You shall do no work in this same day, for it is a day of atonement. You shall make atonement on your behalf before the Lord your God. It is a day of kaffara, a day of covering. Uh beckons back to the covering, really, maybe as far back as Genesis 3, the Lord providing the covering of skin in the garden. Uh, this was a celebration, it was an annual celebration for the uh covering the forgiveness of sin, not only for the people, but also for the priest. If there is any person who will not humble himself in this day, he shall be cut off from his people. As for any uh person who does any work on this same day, that person I will destroy from among his people. You shall do no work at all. It shall be a perpetual statute before your generations and all of your dwelling places. It is a Sabbath of complete rest to you. It shall you shall humble your souls, and on the uh ninth of the month at evening, from evening until evening, you shall keep my keep your Sabbath. Again, the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the sons of Israel. On the fifteenth of the uh day of the seventh month uh is the feast of booze. This was to to commemorate their um dwellings in the wilderness, their their you know, forty years in the wilderness. For seven days to the Lord. The first day is a uh is a holy convocation, you shall do no labor of any kind. For seven days you shall present an offering by fire to the Lord, and on the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation and present an offering by fire to the Lord. It is a an assembly, you shall do no labor. These are the appointed times of the Lord which you shall proclaim as holy convocations to present offerings by fire to the Lord, burn offerings, grain offerings, sacrifices, and drink offerings, each day's matter on its own day. Besides uh all of these, the Sabbaths of the Lord, uh, and besides your gifts, and besides all your votive and free will offerings which you give to the Lord. There's a lot of responsibility here, a lot of celebration to manage for the priests. On exactly the fifteenth day of the seventh month, you shall be gathered in the crops of the land, you shall celebrate the feast of the Lord for seven days, with the rest on the first day, and the rest on the eighth day. And on the eighth day you shall take yourselves the foliage of the blue, beautiful trees, the branches and and the leafy trees and the willows of the brooks, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days. Thus you shall celebrate the feast to the Lord for seven days in the year. It is a perpetual statute throughout your generations. You shall celebrate the seventh month. You shall live in booths for seven days. All the native born in Israel shall live in booths, so that your generations may know that I had the sons of Israel lives in booth live in booths when I brought you out of the land of Egypt, I am the Lord your God. So uh Moses declared to the sons of Israel

Tradition That Teaches Or Goes Stale

Dr. David Klingler 13:54

the appointed times of the Lord. And so built into their annual celebration, to their annual calendar, was celebrations, reminders of their history. Um the Lord's promises, the Lord's deliverance, promises to Abraham, to Isaac, to Jacob. Uh they were enslaved for 400 years. Uh the Lord kept his promises, he delivered them. Uh, that was the Passover lamb. Uh, they were in the wilderness, they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years. Be reminded of that, the Lord's faithfulness and your rebellion, right? That certainly happened. Um uh then their entrance into the land, their celebration of the first fruits. And this was to happen every year, year after year, every week there was a day of rest. Uh we're going to uh see in the weeks to come, uh in the podcast to come. There was uh not only a seventh day of rest, but a seventh year of rest. And then every um seventh seven uh was going to be a year of redemption, a year of jubilee. Uh and this was uh was another special day that was set apart. Uh and so it was a constant reminder of the Lord's faithfulness, really in the midst of Israel's rebellion, constant rebellion. Uh and uh and so these were celebrations. This was tradition. Um we think about uh traditions that we have uh in the church. Uh and uh and one of the things that can happen, and we're gonna see this in Israel, they they quit doing it. They didn't do the seventh year, uh, they didn't celebrate the seventh year, the year of rest, where they didn't plant any crops. Uh and so they're going to be kicked out of the land because they didn't do it. Um traditions can become stale, right? Um, they can become kind of going through the motions. And and you know, often we'll see this in uh you know, in celebration of uh, you know, of the what we call the Lord's Supper, or you know, mention that. Yeah. Um even uh you know, baptism, or it can just become kind of, well, this is what we do every Sunday. Uh we recite these words, uh we do this tradition, uh, you know, there's a certain order. We we go through the process, stand up, sit down, fight, fight, fight type of thing. And then off we go. Um, and then we come back next week and we do it again. And and we lose uh the reason, the meaning behind why we do these things. And uh but for Israel, there was a constant reminder of this. Every um week, there was a constant reminder. It was a constant reminder of creation. Um every year there was a reminder of Passover, every year there was a reminder of atonement, every year there was a reminder that the Lord had been faithful again to provide uh the crops. Now, if you're obedient, when we get to chapter 26, but if you're disobedient, those crops won't grow, right? And um, and so all of this was reminder

Lord’s Supper Versus Communion

Dr. David Klingler 17:00

after reminder in the calendar to set Israel apart as a kingdom of priests, a holy nation, to remind themselves of the faithfulness of God, uh, and um uh and really in in many ways remind themselves of their lack of faithfulness, and the reason why they needed a priest and a priesthood and pat and all of these uh these offerings and sacrifices, and it was constant. It was absolutely constant. So uh so chapter 23 uh is um uh the the appointed uh appointed days for Israel, and um not a lot of practical application for us. We don't celebrate many of these days. Well, we um we have the Passover, um, kind of a Passover over an atonement, we kind of combine into Easter, yeah. Um and the Lord's Supper kind of replaces some of this for the Christian, uh, but for Israel, these were important reminders of their history.

Phil Porter 17:56

Yeah, and you know the phrase that you had just mentioned here that I think is very good is and just to be reminded of when children ask their fathers why do we do this? Um it's important to have a response, you know, and Israel was to have a response. And this was something given by the Lord and that was supposed to be communicated so that all generations knew this is what we do. And I think, you know, obviously that's not absolute, but in our context, you know, um I think of times where my children we are approaching taking the Lord's Supper together. And and ensuring as a father, I'm saying this is why we do this.

Dr. David Klingler 18:48

Yeah.

Phil Porter 18:48

Um and even in baptism and some of the things. And so I think that is kind of a a unique challenge to even listeners today and fathers, and to to really evaluate, you know, that phrase in general, just saying, Do my children, does my family know why we do these things? I have met so many people over the years that don't have a clue why we do it. They just do it because we say do it. Yeah. Um yeah, maybe speak into that a little bit.

Dr. David Klingler 19:21

Well, and what what's interesting about the Lord's you know, at our church, we call it the Lord's Supper. Yeah, yeah. But when we call it the Lord's Supper, and we don't call it communion, yes, um, those words in my mind at least communicate very different things. Lord's Supper uh is this is uh my body and my blood, my body broken for you, my blood poured out for you. Um this is really focused on what Christ did for me, did for us, but us, and I think that we tend to think I'm in the us group individually, so Christ did it for me. Uh when we think about communion, we think about partaking of this together. That uh everywhere, uh all throughout the world, uh every Sunday um or whenever the body gathers, uh the all of these little gatherings uh taking communion, uh you are voicing your part in the body of Christ. Uh and so that's a very different, at least in my mind, emphasis on communion versus Lord's Supper. And I think that we tend to uh to lose the significance of uh of both aspects

The Pot Roast Problem In Church

Dr. David Klingler 20:38

uh of that and who we are to be in Christ until his return.

Phil Porter 20:42

Yes.

Dr. David Klingler 20:42

And so so tradition can become stale. There's a story that I heard. I think it's uh you know, I may mess it up, but but I think it was originally a reader's digest story back in the day. Yes. Wisdom. Yeah, well, but uh but but I'm and it may not be, I may be totally making this up, but this is how I remember it. Uh a mother was making a uh, I think it was a pot roast, and uh she would cut off the ends and put it in the pan and put it in the oven. And and uh her daughter asked mom, why do we cut off the ends? And she said, Well, I don't know. That's just what my mom did. And so they went and asked grandma why do you cut off the ends? And she says, Well, I don't know. This is what my mom did. And they great grandma had it happened to still be alive and said, Well, why do we do this? And she said, Well, I didn't have a pan big enough for the pot roast, so I cut the ends off. Yeah, which makes it makes it absolutely nonsense, right? There's no the only reason what they so we don't know why we're doing what we're doing. And if you don't know why you're doing what you're doing, you can't evaluate what you're doing, what you're doing. And so often uh in church we have really good tradition that's based on really solid biblical theology, sounds Theology that goes back millennia in many cases. And then there's often times where we're just doing stuff because it it works or it used to work, or somebody came up with some, you know, mega church model that says if you have a greeter at the door, somehow, you know, um, like Walmart does, then that's supposed to somehow do something uh and make people feel welcome. And I'm going, well, I'd rather have them be welcome than make them feel welcome. You know, and and so there's traditions, there's all types of things. Why do we, you know, order of service? There's so many things that we do. Why do we turn the lights down? Why do we, you know, there's a lot. Do we have a stage? Why, why is, you know, there's just so many traditions, things that, and by tradition we mean things that we we do it the way we do it because that's the way we do it. And we don't stop to think, well, but why do we do it this way? Or is there a is there sound Bible, is there sound theology, is there a redemptive history behind it, or is it just our stuff and we do it because it works? Yes. And if we do it because it works, uh, then maybe we should uh watch the Cowboys game on Sunday because they do a lot of things that get a lot of people to come on Sunday, right? Yeah, maybe maybe that should be our model. Um and so when we lose track of why we're doing what we're doing, uh then our theology takes a back seat and our pragmatism comes forward. And then very quickly, uh, and you've been around churches long enough to know this, very quickly, um, we don't know why we're doing what we're doing. We're just doing it, and that's the way we're supposed to do it, and we're Baptists, that's how we do it. And the Lutherans say, no, no, we're doing it this way because this is how we're supposed to do it. And the Catholics are saying, All y'all are wrong, we're supposed to do it this way, but nobody knows why they're doing what they're doing. Uh, and this was a threat for Israel, and it's a threat for us, right? And so, so we should uh understand theology, yeah, and then understand why we do what we do and ask, be willing to ask the question, well, why are we doing this? Yes, right? Um, why do we do the things we do? And is it sound biblically, or is it just tradition? Tradition not based on anything solid. Things tradition based on the solid theology, I think needs to be repeated and taught. Tradition based on unsound theology or no theology at all, I think needs to be you need to be willing to throw that on the trash heap and burn, you know, yeah, and get rid of it, right? Doesn't make it evil necessarily or unbiblical. It's just we tend to equate uh tradition to the level of Bible. Um, you'll see you you know, you're a worship leader. This happens in music all the time, right?

Phil Porter 24:51

All the time.

Dr. David Klingler 24:51

Uh and I I will say to students, uh, you do realize, don't you, uh that uh Paul, or more often older generation in the church, you do realize, don't you, that Paul didn't sing how great thou art? You know, that came a little later. Yep. And uh and they just they've never thought about that before. Well, but it's tradition for for you, right? But it's not tradition for those who were, you know, you know, in the 1500s, 1400s, 1300s, you know. Um for thousands of years or or at least centuries and centuries, they didn't have these songs to sing. So what did they sing? That's tradition. That is uh uh doesn't make uh how great thou art bad. Yeah, it's just not scripture, right? Uh and there are plenty of words, plenty of hymns that have bad theology. There's plenty of traditions we have in the church that probably need to go away. And some of them need to be re-emphasized, retaught, and each generation

Worship Songs And Telling The Truth

Dr. David Klingler 25:58

has to rediscover the meaningfulness of the tradition for themselves. And it was true in Israel, it's true for us today.

Phil Porter 26:05

Yeah, that's what I love about the ministry of Teach Me the Bible is uh the goal is to help the people of God understand the word of God, it's not to try to uh infiltrate your traditions of the church and talk about all of the theology standpoints. It's really just about, hey, let's just learn the story and let's build off of that. And that's the thing that that's the thing I think I'm most appreciated about, you know, teach me the Bible is that even in going to a church like we go to today, um, we've changed so many things according to learning the just the story. And then just asking yourself uh and applying everything to the word to see if it even has legs to stand on. Right. And if it doesn't, then then we should probably change a little bit. And then there's a lot of, you know, from my standpoint, there was a m you've helped me out in so many ways, especially in the worship category of songs that we sing on Sunday morning. And it has really, really impacted me, helped me understand more about what it means as an accountability and responsibility of what that is to the congregation, that we're we're aligning ourselves with scripture, you know. I I say it all the time, all the time. Uh one person came to me and said the greatest phrase, which was Christians don't tell lies, they sing them. And I said, I've lived by that for a long time now. And now I looked at my own self and was able to evaluate, and you've challenged me in a lot of ways. And now I can honestly say, in pure motive, like I am doing everything I can to align ourselves biblically through song, so that when the word gets here, it's not in contradiction. You're not saying, Well, I'm singing this, but you're saying this. Well, that that needs to kind of align. And so I think it's a great challenge for even the simplest form, which is the the actually the best form, which is fathers, teach your children, teach them why we do these things, why the church is doing these things. And then when there is something that doesn't make sense, it's okay to ask questions. Why are we doing this? Like, is this really something that we should be doing? Is this biblical? Um, and that's I think that's a great question to ask because we and we could talk forever, but you know, in in future elders of the church, this is a great thing to to be able to uh I think think through. A lot of times, you know, you you people just go along with a grain, but they don't really think through the why. Um they just kind of say, oh, well, these are great people and they have great motives, I guess, and intentions, but they don't really know why. And uh that I think in our generation clears a lot of the frustration up because our generation, especially my generation, and then I think the generation underneath uh me is they're they're wanting to know more why and less less of the light show and less of the the the pizzazz, I would say. It's more just like give me substance. Right. I need to know why. And if you can't explain why, well then then why am I doing this? You know, so it puts us in great positions as a church to be able to do exactly what you're saying. Every generation continue to teach and continue to explain why we do

Tools For Discernment And Closing

Phil Porter 29:28

these things.

Dr. David Klingler 29:28

And so uh any last thoughts or well, yeah, I think that uh so so what we're trying to do with teach me the Bible is help people understand the Bible, and it all fits together. Uh and uh the that's one strain, one one you know, maybe rope or cord that has to be there. Uh I think that the languages certainly help. I was asked by a uh a student um um overseas, what do I need? What do you deem as essential? I said, Well, Bible is one, languages is the second, Greek and Hebrew. If you can learn those, uh now you're actually reading the scriptures, you're not reading someone's translation of the scriptures. Um, third, uh church history. Understand how, okay, well, what uh things are we doing today in our particular denomination? Where did our denomination come from? Um what happened in church history that has led to such a diversity of opinion, disparity of opinion, people who disagree. One person says it's one way and the other person says it's the exact opposite. How did we get to this point? That's church history. Uh, and then uh once you've understood kind of uh the progress of revelation in the Bible, now you can uh categorize your thoughts, and this is systematic theology. So systematic theology has a wonderful role. Uh church history has a wonderful role. Uh and they help us understand how we got to the places uh that we have gotten to in the interpretation of the Bible. Um you know, just as little things as these numbers in front of these verses, don't realize how much that affects us. Um those are that that those were not there originally. Uh, and so it it it changes the way we read. And so so our ministry at Teach Me the Bible, primarily, uh there will be a day when we fill in these other gaps. Um you know, but once we go through the Bible, say, okay, now why do we believe this and that? Now that's a church history discussion. I think it's a very valid one. And many of these books that are behind you, um, those are a bunch of church history books, and they're very important. Um, they answer what why how did we get to the place where we would have crusades? Or where where would we how would we get to the place where we would believe different things and why has the church changed this belief? That's church history. Uh, and it helps us understand the Bible even more clearly. We go, oh, now I see why. Okay. And so going back to the story, going back to tradition and history is very important. Uh so it's not just the Bible. I think that as Protestants, we've we've thrown out too much tradition and and accepted a lot of the wrong tradition, right? So we've kind of intermixed some good stuff with some bad stuff. And then when we say, well, let's just throw out all tradition, we end up throwing up a lot of uh throwing out a lot of good stuff. And yeah. And so this chapter 23 of Leviticus, um the tradition, the uh appointed festivals, times, celebrations of Israel is a good reminder to us uh that that uh uh we engage in tradition as well. It can become stale, we forget it, um, it can lose its meaning, or we can water it down with other traditions. And so there's good warning here.

Phil Porter 32:49
