“holiness laws identify sins, like sexual immorality (see Lev. 18:1–30), while purity laws identify life’s brokenness due to human sinfulness.”

“The assumption that a law must set specifics is rooted in modern legal concepts. Ancient law was actually a kind of wisdom literature, and this law is an example of that. Kings were responsible to avoid these and other excesses, not based on specific formulas but based on a specific capacity these limitations were established to foster: the king’s administration of justice as a peer among his neighbors. The measure of a king’s self-abasement in these power sources is in the resulting (or lacking) humility with which he fears God and cares for the needs of the distressed as an administrator of God’s law.”

“Give thanks to God for the privilege of worship mediated by the perfect high priest, Jesus Christ! Pray for faith and humility to worship God in Christ’s name and in faithfulness to his Word.”
