Mar 19 - huh?

OK now I'm getting lost with all of these festivals, burnt offerings, grain offerings and these offering are in addition to the regular morning burnt offerings. "On the fourteenth day of the first month, you must celebrate the Lord's Passover" OK so far so good....this sounds like fun we love celebrating the Lord. "On the following day-the fifteenth day of the month-a joyous, seven-day festival will begin, but no bread made with yeast may be eaten." OK I can handle that. "The first day of the festival will be an official day for holy assembly, and no ordinary work may be done on that day. As a special gift you must present a burnt offering to the Lord-two young bulls, one ram, and seven one-year-old male lambs, all with no defects. These will be accompanied by grain offerings of choice flour moistened with olive oil, six quarts with each bull, four quarts with the ram and two quarts with each of the seven lambs. You must also offer a male goat as a sin offering to purify yourselves and make yourselves right with the Lord. Present these offerings in addition to your regular morning burnt offering." hmmmmm ok I could probably work this out, but don't remember what the daily offerings are so would need a refresher.
"On each of the seven days of the festival, this is how you must prepare the food offering that is presented as a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. These will be offered in addition to the regular burnt offerings and liquid offerings. The seventh day of the festival will be another official day for holy assembly, and no ordinary work may be done on that day." What time for ordinary work, I'd be working out my flow chart to figure out these offerings!

"At the Festival of Harvest, when you present the first of your new grain to the Lord, you must call an official day for holy assembly, and you may do no ordinary work. Present a special burnt offering on that day as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. It will consist of two young bulls, one ram, and seven one-year-old male lambs. These will be accompanied by grain offerings of choice flour moistened with olive oil-six quarts with each bull, four quarts with the ram, and two quarts with each of the seven lambs. Also offering one male goat to purify yourselves and make your selves right with the Lord. Prepare these special burnt offerings, along with the liquid offerings, in addition to the regular burnt offering and its accompanying grain offering. Be sure that all the animals you sacrifice have no defects." OK so same as the festival after the passover....I think I'm getting this!

"Celebrate the Festival of Trumpets each year on the first day of the appointed month in early autumn. You must call an official day for holy assembly and you many do no ordinary work. On that day you must present a burnt offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. It will consist of one young bull, one ram and seven on-year-old male lambs all with no defects. These must be accompanied by grain offerings of choice flour moistened with olive oil-six quarts with the bull, four quarts with the ram, and two quarts with each of the seven lambs. In addition, you must sacrifice a male goat as a sin offering to purify yourselves and make yourselves right with the Lord. These special sacrifices are in addition to your regular monthly AND daily burnt offerings, and they must be given with their prescribed grain offerings and liquid offerings. These offerings are given as a special gift to the Lord, a pleasing aroma to him." So same as the other festivals but a bull short.

"Ten days later, on the tenth day of the same month, you must call another holy assembly. On that day, the Day of Atonement, the people must go without food and must do no ordinary work." I would imagine that would be easy being that they seem to have to burn up all their food for the offerings and there's no time to do ordinary work while they are figuring out all these offerings! The offering is the same as the one prior and specifically says "This is in addition to the sin offering of atonement and the regular daily burnt offering with its grain offering, and their accompanying liquid offerings."

"Five days later, on the fifteenth day of the same month, you must call another holy assembly of all the people and you many do no ordinary work on the that day. It is the beginning of the Festival of Shelters, a seven-day festival to the Lord." Now we get into daily offerings for eight days they had to burn up heards of animals! Starting with 13 young bulls, two rams, and fourteen one-year-old male lambs, all with no defects. Each accompanied by the grain offering with olive oil....etc and a male goat. It then goes down to 12 bulls, 11, 10...etc for seven days. Then on day eight you go back to one bull. Total: 71 bulls, 15 rams and 105 lambs over just 8 days for this one festival.

"You must present these offerings to the Lord ast your annual festivals. These are in addition to the sacrifices and offerings you present in connection with vows, or as voluntary offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, liquid offerings or peace offerings." Now if you make a mistake during your offering, and it's not an offering that will get your burnt up, it becomes a sin so you then have to do a sin offering for the offering that caused the sin and if that is messed up you have a sin offering for the sin offering for the festival offering on top of the regular offering with,,,it...eh....huh?

"So Moses gave all of these instructions to the people of Israel as the Lord had commanded him." I sure hope he had a note pad everytime he talked to God......

In Luke today it's the geneology from Jesus all the way back to Adam who was the son of God.
