Pastor John,<\/span><\/p>\n

I was reading Leviticus 7 this morning, and noticed that in verse 13, God tells Moses to tell the people to bring “leavened bread” as part of their peace offerings to Him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In most places, God told Israel to bring unleavened bread as part of their ceremonial sacrifices. Why is that different here? Is there a specific New Testament message hidden in there for us?<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hi Zoli.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, there is meaning in leavened bread being allowed for loaves with the Peace Offerings and for loaves brought for the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) offering (23:17).\u00a0 We know that God had a purpose for that because we know that God commanded the ceremonies of the law as prophetic symbols of what His Son would do when he came.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Having said that, the meaning for that\u00a0specific\u00a0element of the\u00a0Peace Offerings<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

and the\u00a0Feast\u00a0of Weeks\u00a0is unknown to me, as is the case with many other specifics in Moses’ law.\u00a0\u00a0If God does not tell us, we do not know.\u00a0 Brother Damien has done a lot of work in this area and may have some insight on your question, but as for me, I do not know why\u00a0God allowed for leaven\u00a0in those cases.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you for the question.\u00a0 Jesus has the answer, whatever it is.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
