Leviticus Chapters 1-13

What I got: God has a plan and an order for everything.

Thoughts: God sets down standards for the ways priests are ordained, foods people can eat, the cleansing of women after child birth, and  treating infectious diseases. There was a lot of animal sacrifice happening with bulls, goats, and lamb and it all seems a bit violent and graphic. I cannot imagine having to split a bull's head open for forgiveness. I also can't imagine having to stay home up to 66 days after having a child. But I understand God has a divine plan for everything, I just do not understand his logic sometimes.

Questions: What is a wave offering? Why are people who eat foods God deamed unclean only unclean until evening? What happens during the evening?

Looking Forward: This has been the hardest book in the Bible for me to read thus far, because it contains alot of instructions, more than a story. I am looking forward to finishing Leviticus and getting back on the journey with the Israelites.
