Leviticus

gerrylegister

God called to account the conduct at the camp

Israelites and priests, and the Levites on duty,

Once before in the garden, God had fellowship,

When Eden was lush and green with pure beauty.

 

Leviticus made a sacrifice departure from Sinai

Seeking lawful legislation for society to live by,

And let laws become all the duty it should be,

Seen plain as a dream to provide means for Levi.

 

When people conceive sin, in malicious scheme,

Then let the priesthood be judges in the land,

Where God’s commandments are highly esteem

By priests performing deeds, we don’t understand.

 

From the congregation, money was not tributary

Expressly measured to appease elegies and dirges,

Instead, burned offerings meet and greet regularly

Repetitions being naturally known in all cases.

 

Fine flour and meat scattered at the Elders feet,

Calves from the farm and lambs to the slaughter,

All the innocent streams runs along to the mercy seat,

Trailing with rituals burning upon the sanctified Alter.

 

Discover secret phenomenon which distinguishes humans,

Some things seemed forbidden, enormous and detestable,

But the offerings made by fire unto the Lord made amends

And Full recompense, the conscience blend and tremble.

 

Rise above the Altar in the shadow of grace forgiven

An elusive smell was the fragrance of a saintly savior,

Splash his blood against the inside of every nation

Drained out for our transgressions, where ashes are.

 

Animal sacrifices made mankind hail and climb clouds

To please the Might above the heavenly twinkling sky,

An internal aroma, burning below the windfall floods

Trailer with tears down the rivers in years ran slowly.

 

Sheep or goats bull and blood, pastoral and herdsman

Some of the crumble belong to Aaron and his Levi sons,

Loaves made without yeast bring grains cooked in a pan,

Connect to region and religion by the internal organs.

 

All the season’s first fruits crushed in seedless sums.

Kohathites trimmers wrapped in leathers to empty the can,  

Attend meetings, holy strings, and curtains on most things,

The ceremony of ordinances regulates sanctuary consecration.

 

By clans and lands, lay hands upon partials from everyone.

Restitution for wrong, Leviticus demand of ritual precedents,

So they will not defile the camp with impurity of any kind

Spellbound in dust and water miscarries for the innocents.

 

Sacrifice of the tabernacle made the lamp stand blossom,

Retire and be content celebrate until the morning break,

In waves present community blessings of the native born,

Call everyone with the trumpet loud blast the signal make.

 

Vows race through life on high from the mouth of a Nazirite

To bless you and keep you; then to awake and wander late,

God Make his face to shine upon you bright as heavenly light,

The sun always shining, followed by grace through the gate.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your community, but love your neighbor as yourself. The book of Leviticus is about Holy practices, Holy Priesthood, Holy People, Holy God.

    I can follow the holiness theme through this. I feel we adapt, or omit, or amend, certain rules and regulations from this, as we are now in New Covenant days.
