Public Enemy

I have read through chapter 7 now. Sorry to over achieve. I do not understand what is meant by, "do not write in thoughts". I re-read and I can only see that there might be grammatical error, sorry. I will try harder, that's what Israel said. Ha!
So, chapters 5-7 are a bit redundant at first glance it would seem. One reason I say "at first glance" is because I am certain that a more learned person would disagree. Also because as I, a less learned person, read there was some cool continuity. While the writings of Leviticus seem to go back and forth between types of offerings or who it is speaking: priests, common folk or Moses, I gather the repetition is for emphasis. I like the verse in chapter seven that hints at the purpose of the last several sections.

"This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering, and the sin offering and the guilt offering and the ordination offering and the sacrifice of peace offerings, which the LORD commanded Moses at Mt. Sinai in the day that He commanded the sons of Israel to present their offerings to the LORD in the wilderness."

Just so we get a general idea about the area, here is where things took place that were commanded in Leviticus. The writing of the book may have happened elsewhere as they lived by oral tradition until the writings could be accurately recorded. Though, not too long afterward. I digress...

The reason I titled my post as I did was regarding the idea, that I saw, about bringing sin to light. As you read these chapters notice what the LORD has his people do when they realize they are in sin intentionally or unintentionally. They are to go then and do the obedient thing, which is offering and sacrifice. The great thing, I think, is that it is done publicly and there are consequences. However, this is how great God's relationship is with His people. He casts away sinful people until atonement is made. This is such a huge, anti-cultural idea both then and now. Other nations/cultures then could not get their heads around God dealing personally with His people or interacting with them. Albeit through human priests in Old Testament times. It is so amazing to see the way God uses His purposes to have his people stand apart. I see in reading this that when an Israelite had to confess, clean up and bring the offerings for sacrifice the public nature shows the connection to the community as well as the demand for purity not to be forgotten.
God has and is always acting on behalf of purity and holiness first, then on behalf of restoring relationship with broken people. It is a beautiful thing.

Ramblings over, thoughts...? (Please tell me if anything is unclear or if I might be wrong about a certain view.)
