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 16:1-22 (KJV)1
1 Now the LORD spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they had approached the presence of the LORD and died. 2 The LORD said to Moses: "Tell your brother Aaron that he shall not enter at any time into the holy place inside the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark, or he will die; for I will appear in the cloud over the mercy seat. 3 "Aaron shall enter the holy place with this: with a bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering. 4 "He shall put on the holy linen tunic, and the linen undergarments shall be next to his body, and he shall be girded with the linen sash and attired with the linen turban (these are holy garments ). Then he shall bathe his body in water and put them on. 5 "He shall take from the congregation of the sons of Israel two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering. 6 "Then Aaron shall offer the bull for the sin offering which is for himself, that he may make atonement for himself and for his household. 7 "He shall take the two goats and present them before the LORD at the doorway of the tent of meeting. 8 "Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats, one lot for the LORD and the other lot for the scapegoat. 9 "Then Aaron shall offer the goat on which the lot for the LORD fell, and make it a sin offering. 10 "But the goat on which the lot for the scapegoat fell shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make atonement upon it, to send it into the wilderness as the scapegoat. 11 "Then Aaron shall offer the bull of the sin offering which is for himself and make atonement for himself and for his household, and he shall slaughter the bull of the sin offering which is for himself. 12 "He shall take a firepan full of coals of fire from upon the altar before the LORD and two handfuls of finely ground sweet incense, and bring it inside the veil. 13 "He shall put the incense on the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the ark of the testimony, otherwise he will die. 14 "Moreover, he shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east side; also in front of the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times. 15 "Then he shall slaughter the goat of the sin offering which is for the people, and bring its blood inside the veil and do with its blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat and in front of the mercy seat. 16 "He shall make atonement for the holy place, because of the impurities of the sons of Israel and because of their transgressions in regard to all their sins; and thus he shall do for the tent of meeting which abides with them in the midst of their impurities. 17 "When he goes in to make atonement in the holy place, no one shall be in the tent of meeting until he comes out, that he may make atonement for himself and for his household and for all the assembly of Israel. 18 "Then he shall go out to the altar that is before the LORD and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the blood of the bull and of the blood of the goat and put it on the horns of the altar on all sides. 19 "With his finger he shall sprinkle some of the blood on it seven times and cleanse it, and from the impurities of the sons of Israel consecrate it. 20 "When he finishes atoning for the holy place and the tent of meeting and the altar, he shall offer the live goat. 21 "Then Aaron shall lay both of his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over it all the iniquities of the sons of Israel and all their transgressions in regard to all their sins; and he shall lay them on the head of the goat and send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who stands in readiness. 22 "The goat shall bear on itself all their iniquities to a solitary land; and he shall release the goat in the wilderness.
Modeh Ani/Thank You God, I! It's such a lovely day today! The sun is shining and a bit damp 52 degrees, but it should 'toast' up later in the day. It's SO good to have the winter behind us. I hope it stays that way. We're known to have frosts in late May, or early June and if we came away without that this year I'll be chuffed, as they say in Yorkshire. It's a slang term for 'pure delight'. (It could be we're streaming too much British content. But since I have ancestry from the Lakes Region in Northern England, I feel 'right at home' using it). My coffee is past tepid this morning and so I know without even checking the clock that it's way past nine. We had quite an extraordinary day yesterday when my granddaughter's horse arrived and the boys were only half finished the fencing. There was quite a bit of hubbub and so much noise with our boys working the fence and the sellers who transported the horse kept standing about. Add to had a lot more family was present. My granddaughter whose horse it is and her boyfriend who we met for only the second time. There was an extra dog on the property that is a 'high energy' barking machine while the three that live here are 'NOT so much'.
The horse was stressed out. I was nervous with our great-granddaughter walking about with a stressed horse that was 'out of her mane' with being in a new place, with new people, and steady noise. Humans can go a little out of their minds, but I call a skittish filly 'out of her mane'. We were all unsettled and speaking for myself, on a scale of the levels of stimulation from one to ten, it was a solid fifteen. Add to that my sleep was very poor and so when I woke this morning, it was “one of those mornings”. Being Sunday today gives me time to recoup before I climb back on that hamster wheel of a week. Guess what!? We get to do it all over again today! It will be without the horse transport but we'll still have a full complement of my oldest daughter and husband and my grandson's little family, with the wee toddler that I was stressing over yesterday AND her high-energy barking machine. (Oakley and the barking machine are growing up together.) But this morning it appears that “Delilah” the filly has settled some and has her fencing complete (as of last night). I expect that it will not be the haywire crazy day it was yesterday!
We start a new chapter today and have moved on to what appears to be the feast days of Yahweh. It doesn't tell us at the beginning, but all this preamble about what Aaron is commanded to do is all about Yom Kippur AKA the Day of Atonement. We might suppose from the first verse that all of the upset after the death of Aaron's sons has passed and the command given to Aaron might be what transpired that killed his two boys. It's very possible that the boys went in behind the veil inappropriately. While the Creator of the Universe and the planet earth lives among Israel, nobody, but NOBODY enters His Space at their own discretion, even the high priest.
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died; 2 And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat. Leviticus 16:1-2.
Then, the teaching that is specifically for the priesthood continues. Albert Barns has a lengthy breakdown of this entire protocol. He breaks it down into its steps which I found this year to be helpful.
“It is important, in reference to the meaning of the day of atonement, to observe the order of the rites as they are described in these verses.
Le 16:12 A censer - See Ex 25:38 note. The altar before the Lord - i. e. the altar of burnt-offering on which the fire was always burning.
Le 16:14 The high priest must have come out from the most holy place to fetch the blood, leaving the censer smoking within, and then have entered again within the veil. He sprinkled the blood seven times upon the mercy-seat, on its east side (not "eastward"), and then seven times upon the floor in front of it. If the mercy-seat may be regarded as an altar, the holiest one of the three, on this one occasion in the year atonement was thus made for it, as for the other altars, with sacrificial blood.
Le 16:15 Having completed the atonement in the holy of holies on behalf of the priests, the high priest had now to do the same thing on behalf of the people.
Le 16:16 The "holy place" - Here the place within the veil, the holy of holies. Tabernacle of the congregation - tent of meeting. atonement was now to be made for the tabernacle as a whole. The sense is very briefly expressed, but there seems to be no room to doubt that the high priest was to sprinkle the blood of each of the victims before the altar of incense, as he had done before the mercy-seat within the veil; and also to touch with blood the horns of the altar of incense
Ex 30:10 That remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness - Compare Le 16:19. The most sacred earthly things which came into contact with the nature of man needed from time to time to be cleansed and sanctified by the blood of the sin-offerings which had been taken into the presence of Yahweh. See Ex 28:38 note.
Le 16:18 The order of the ceremony required that atonement should first be made for the most holy place with the mercy-seat, then for the holy place with the golden altar, and then for the altar in the court. See Le 16:20, Le 16:33. The horns of the brazen altar were touched with the blood, as they were in the ordinary sin-offerings. Le 4:25, Le 4:30, Le 4:34. Of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat - Some of the blood of the two victims was mingled together in a basin.
Le 16:21 Confess over him - The form of confession used on this occasion in later times was: "O Lord, Thy people, the house of Israel, have transgressed, they have rebelled, they have sinned before Thee. I beseech Thee now absolve their transgressions, their rebellion, and their sin that they have sinned against Thee, as it is written in the law of Moses Thy servant, that on this day he shall make atonement for you to cleanse you from all your sins, and ye shall be clean." A fit man - literally, a timely man, or a man at hand. Tradition says that the man was appointed for this work the year before.
Le 16:22 Unto a land not inhabited - Unto a place cut off, or (as in the margin) a place "of separation."
It is evident that the one signification of the ceremony of this goat was the complete removal of the sins which were confessed over him. No symbol could so plainly set forth the completeness of Yahweh's acceptance of the penitent, as a sin-offering in which a life was given up for the altar, and yet a living being survived to carry away all sin and uncleanness.”
I was struck by the statement that Albert Barnes included: “The most sacred earthly things which came into contact with the nature of man needed from time to time to be cleansed and sanctified by the blood of the sin-offerings which had been taken into the presence of Yahweh.” Again, we're faced with the filthiness of “the nature of man”. Mankind has a great tendency, or more likely an innate trait since our first parents rebelled in Gan Edyn/The Garden of Eden, to think more highly of themselves than is reality! We come into this 'filth' just because of the world we live in. Our Father God was trying to teach this to Israel so that they could, in turn, teach it to the nations. If mankind could admit to the reality that we are The Potter's clay, how much easier life would be in our society! We just have to insist that we know better than God, that is, if we even acknowledge His very existence and sovereignty. Mankind constantly acts as if God doesn't see what they do. As Yah spoke to Israel through the prophet Isaiah, He speaks to the entire human race.
15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us? 16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding? Isaiah 29:15-16.
Perhaps the NASB rendering of this same verse will assist us in cementing our understanding:
15 Woe to those who deeply hide their plans from the LORD, and whose deeds are done in a dark place, And they say, “Who sees us?” or “Who knows us?” 16 You turn things around! Shall the potter be considered as equal with the clay, That what is made would say to its maker, “He did not make me”; Or what is formed say to him who formed it, “He has not understanding”?
Mankind persists in believing that they're as important as God and so they replace God with their ego! Indeed, Isaiah pinpointed a very important spiritual deficit in mankind. They have it “turned around”! We may feel as though we've spun off the Potter's wheel and lie in a corner, battered and bruised and it's because we've fought Him on one thing or another. Even when we don't mean to rebel, we get forgetful and we get what the racists in the decade of the sixties used to call, “uppity”! I can never think of the Potter's wheel without remembering what Mary-Sue wrote me one day when we spoke of the clay resisting the one who formed it. “I don't want to be a mouthy coffee cup!” Well... I don't either!
