“Then the priest will offer the two turtledoves or the two young pigeons, whichever the person can afford. One of them is for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, to be presented along with the grain offering. Through this process, the priest will purify the person before the LORD. These are the instructions for purification for those who have recovered from a serious skin disease but who cannot afford to bring the offerings normally required for the ceremony of purification.” [Leviticus 14.30-32]
Today's OYCB reading deals mostly with skin diseases.
Because sacrifices and offerings (sin offering, burnt offering, and grain offering) were required resultant to the skin diseases described, shouldn't we then understand that the skin diseases mentioned were the result of sin?
It amazes me how obvious things like this in the Bible are totally ignored, and therefore not discussed, today.
Father, forgive us for ignoring the obvious implications found in Your Word about disease and its relationship to sin in our lives. May we be found repentant before You, pleasing You by our faith in Jesus Christ Whom You sent in place of all the otherwise required sacrifices and offerings for our sin.
