Leviticus 6:18 NLT
“Any of Aaron’s male descendants may eat from the special gifts presented to the Lord. This is their permanent right from generation to generation. Anyone or anything that touches these offerings will become holy.”
Aaron’s male descendants
Today’s referenced scripture points out some aspects of gender bias in the Old Testament. Leviticus 2:10 describes how the remaining choice flour from a grain offering was considered a special gift to the Lord, but only the male descendants of Aaron were allowed to partake in it. However, consuming the flour did not impart holiness, as holiness was obtained through other means. It is worth noting that holiness was accessible to all, regardless of gender or lineage, as the scripture mentions that anything that comes in contact with the offerings will become holy. Although God prohibited Aaron’s female descendants from partaking in the meal, which had no eternal value, He did not deny them the essential benefit of the offering. Friends, please note that in all things, God is good.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, You are good in all Your undertaken. You always ensure that no one is left out of anything essential. I thank You for making holiness accessible to all. In Jesus’s name, Amen.
