Holiness Means to Show Respect

Emor Pt 3
Recap of “perfect offering”. But in the middle, we are told not to separate a baby animal from its mother until the eighth day, and not to sacrifice a baby animal with its mother on the same day. How is that defective? Because it shows a lack of respect for motherhood, for life, for the love any mother feels for its young. It is callous. So, making an offering without love and respect for those around you, even an animal, is a defect. As Yeshua said (Matthew 5:23-24), if you are making an offering, and remember you have a conflict with another, go heal that, then make your offering. Offerings are a reflection of the heart, not paying off Yahveh, and lack of love or shalom is as much or greater a defect as any physical deformity.See Less
