An Anchor, when properly placed, holds a marine vessel securely in one location and keeps it from drifting away from the captain’s desired position. Under the teachings of the Holy Spirit of God, what in Hebrew is called the Torah (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy), the Five books of Moses serve us as an Anchor to keep us from drifting away from God's good, acceptable and perfect will for our lives.
(Romans 1:1-17; Romans 5:1-2; Romans 8:1-14; Romans 12:1-8; Jeremiah 31:31-34; Hebrews 8:1-13
At the Anchor, we have come to the understanding, that the daily study of these books, along with the rest of the Scriptures, under the leadership of the Holy Spirit is the way God promised and systematically does place His Word (the oracles of God – see Romans 3:1) in our minds according to the covenant promise. As we go about practicing what He says for us to do, and not practicing what he says for us not to do, these same words become attached or grafted into our hearts. We discover that as we hear and practice doing what we hear [The shema of God - Mark 28:28:34, James 1:21-25), He becomes more and more pleased with what He does through us. Therefore to Him (יהוה) , LORD, YHVH, Yahveh, Jehovah be all the glory for the things He is doing.) As followers of Jesus the Christ (Hebrew – Yehshua Ha Mashiach), our desire is to regard the Law of God (the Torah) in the same way Jesus (Yeshua) did; when he was here. And learn to teach the same specific instructions that his disciples received from him. To continue to practice the same works that he taught them, until he returns. [I John 2:1-16] His disciples were commanded to go into all nations and make disciples. Jesus/Yeshua did not say go into all the nations and make Christians and build churches. Jesus/Yehshua said; "go and make Disciples, teaching them to do what so ever I have commanded you to do." (Mitzvot = "good works")

Leviticus 1:1-17 (NASB)1
1 Then the LORD (HE-Yahweh) called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting, saying, 2 "Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When any man of you brings an offering to the LORD, you shall bring your offering of animals from the herd or the flock. 3 'If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer it, a male without defect; he shall offer it at the doorway of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before the LORD. 4 'He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, that it may be accepted for him to make atonement on his behalf. 5 'He shall slay the young bull before the LORD; and Aaron's sons the priests shall offer up the blood and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at the doorway of the tent of meeting. 6 'He shall then skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces. 7 'The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire. 8 'Then Aaron's sons the priests shall arrange the pieces, the head and the suet over the wood which is on the fire that is on the altar. 9 'Its entrails, however, and its legs he shall wash with water. And the priest shall offer up in smoke all of it on the altar for a burnt offering, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the LORD. 10 'But if his offering is from the flock, of the sheep or of the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer it a male without defect. 11 'He shall slay it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD, and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar. 12 'He shall then cut it into its pieces with its head and its suet, and the priest shall arrange them on the wood which is on the fire that is on the altar. 13 'The entrails, however, and the legs he shall wash with water. And the priest shall offer all of it, and offer it up in smoke on the altar; it is a burnt offering, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the LORD. 14 'But if his offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall bring his offering from the turtledoves or from young pigeons. 15 'The priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head and offer it up in smoke on the altar; and its blood is to be drained out on the side of the altar. 16 'He shall also take away its crop with its feathers and cast it beside the altar eastward, to the place of the ashes. 17 'Then he shall tear it by its wings, but shall not sever it. And the priest shall offer it up in smoke on the altar on the wood which is on the fire; it is a burnt offering, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the LORD.
The rain came through the night and has iced up the yard. The weather alerts for rain and freezing rain have become a reality. I don't think many folks are venturing out this morning. But one unfortunate person was driving for sure. My daughter, a Registered Nurse, was returning from her night shift and had to take a short detour because a vehicle slid, hit a rock cut, and settled on its roof. She was going to stop to offer assistance, but just as she came upon the wreck, the EMT and fire truck arrived, so she made a detour and arrived home safely.
If I thought we would be relatively free of emergency sirens when we moved into this rural area from the middle of the city, I was wrong. There's enough that goes on related to that TransCanada Highway that is at the end of our driveway here. We're always aware of vehicle wrecks, or if there's fire somewhere, and often enough, when moose have been struck on the highway. The moose accidents generally have occurred at night and directly in front of our property. We've been awakened by flashing emergency lights at least three times since moving here. It's always been a fatality where the moose was concerned and no sirens were used on those occasions. By the time we were up and about to do our dailies, the carcass had been picked up and all that was left were some skid marks on the pavement and the outline of dried blood on the shoulder of the highway.
The past seven days were a very busy news week and I'm hoping for more positive reports in the week to come. The country of Turkey is in a bad way with people taking to the streets and protesting. The present leader, considered authoritarian of that country, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, may be on his way out. Canada is still very unstable and I have to wonder if anyone is aware of how serious that instability is at this time. Events are happening at such speed and regularity having to do with the weather everywhere. This is a bit unnerving. First North Carolina gets hit by Helene, a freak storm to occur over the Appalachian mountain range, and now they have forest fires in both the Carolinas. I don't believe for a moment that these weather anomalies are caused by so-called climate change. I do pray for all the folks in those areas that have been washed out and or now burned out, all across America. Two major earthquakes occurred with devastating strength affecting Myanmar (Burma) and Thailand. But believe it! Our God is still in control. There's just so much that we don't know and He knows it all.
As we take up the journey with Moshe now, we see the portable structure around which the spiritual life of Israel would revolve, is standing, and ready for use. Now we shall see all the protocols that will be practiced in this building. The God of Israel is to 'live' in a small 'apartment' that was attached to another small apartment, and in His 'front yard' as it were, would be the place where the sacrifices would be done in the open air. By the way, this first week is called Vayikra or “He called”. I have a special place in my heart for Leviticus and like Jewish youth, I started my Torah education with the same book. To those who might ask me, “Why in the world are you doing this over again for another year? Isn’t it time to move on to the rest of it? Why do the same five books each year?” To which I could reply, “Why not?”
“Leviticus” almost sounds a little stuffy and dry but the same book in Hebrew is called “Vayikra” and means “and He called”. I’ve learned this past week (Now see there is another advantage to the daily and yearly study of this specific curriculum, that no matter how many times you turn it over, you can turn it over yet again and find something new!) that this book is not considered as really starting at chapter one here, but you can look at the last chapters of Exodus where the objects and the priesthood of the tabernacle act as a “lead-in” to this much-maligned book of the Bible. We could be looking at the real focus of all the labor-intensive work that brought this incredible building of portable worship into reality. It's not just the beginning of Vayikra. The last chapters of Exodus are the most suitable introduction and preface to 'He Called'.
The chief purpose of His 'calling to Israel' was to remind them that they were totally dependent upon Him. It has been said that the offerings we’re about to study again this year are the elements of Creation known as man (who brings the offering), animal (that is the offering brought), vegetable (which is the flour that comes from the ground), and mineral which is the salt added to every offering. You could also add the oil, which comes from a tree, and the wine, which comes from the vine. There is nothing that men can give back to God which He has not given first. A child of ten wishes to impress and make a gift to their parent so the parent gives him money so that the child can buy the gift or the materials that will make up the tribute from that child. From where does a child have the resources to present a gift to their parents if the parents have not already supplied that resource?
15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. 17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. Luke 18:15-17.
The other important thing, among many, is that “He called” is in the present tense also. In the course of our routine living, we can recall so many times when we heard Him call us. It was gentle and not intrusive. In my case, I heard and still hear things like this: “Anne, can you just belt up about how you despise winter—I created it—learn to accept it.” “Anne, stop murmuring. Just stop it. “Ewe” (He sometimes calls me),
“Ewe , get over it.” There is just so much that I still don't know the HOW to “get over it”, and so He's placed people and books in my path to help. He calls us again this year to step out and park all our preconceived ideas about Leviticus/Vayikra somewhere else—and best for us if it's the “Tow Away” zone. We can keep our mind open, but not as they say so open, that our brain falls out.
In the past, I thought it was a flash of brilliance when I decided that there is no difference between picking out and axing the prize turkey for the family Thanksgiving meal and the notion of animal sacrifice as outlined in God’s instruction. When the family gets together, some animal has to die to provide for that family dinner. Somehow this gave a new perspective to the contents of the opening chapters of this fabulous book, but truly, there is more to it than the surface of that simple parallel. Come along with us for the walk-through and see what He calls out to you. Please don’t worry about picking the text or the commentary apart in deep thought or academic logic. Just read it and see what He says to you. If you ask Him to grant you understanding and to make you aware of His special message to you, He will!
1 And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock. 3 If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD. 4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. 5 And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 6 And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces... 10 And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish... 14 And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons. 15 And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar: 16 And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes: 17 And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. Leviticus 1:1-6; 10; 14-17.
I have some thoughts from several commentators:
“In Leviticus 1 he prescribes every thing relative to the nature and quality of burnt offerings, and the ceremonies which should be observed, as well by the person who brought the sacrifice as by the priest who offered it.” Adam Clarke.
“THIS book is chiefly taken up with the laws concerning their sacrifices and offerings, their meats and drinks and divers washings, and other peculiarities, by which God set the people of Israel apart for himself, and distinguished them from other nations: all which were shadows of good things to come, which are realised and superseded by the Gospel of Christ.—The Jews, according to their custom, denominate this book, from the first word in it, ויקרא wayikra; but the Greek and Latin interpreters call it Leviticus, because it is chiefly concerned with the ceremonial or Levitical law; in which the tribe of Levi were principally engaged.—We read, in the close of the foregoing book, of the setting up of the tabernacle, which was to be the place of worship: and as that was framed according to the pattern, so must the ordinances of worship be, which were there to be administered.” Thomas Coke.
On a personal note, the laryngitis that came along last Monday evening has now morphed into a head cold in the last forty-eight hours. Add to that the asthma kicked in. I don't know how this infection got through my daily supplements of Vitamin D and Zinc. I'm determined to live “over the circumstances” today! I'm going to take a break now and return later today and work on the edition for the third day of the week which will be a combination of both readings for Monday and Tuesday, as Tuesday I must be out of town for the entire day and can't write on that third day of the week (just for this week). This certainly isn't the best time to be put low with illness but I shall occupy and give Him the glory! As He calls us all in Vayikra, He calls in our associate reading from Isaiah:
