97 Steve Thinks. A Bit (Lev 7)

I thought I should try and make up for another lax evening.
Well, I wasn't really laxing.
I had been out all night since work had merged into the coming of weekend land.
I had only seen Donna for maybe half an hour all day.
I felt the need to reconnect with her stronger than the prearranged plan to blog.
So sue me!
It was a pretty easy call to make, despite the earlier recognition to get some consistency in the regularity of my postings.
As I figured, the breaks I needed to take due to different circumstances, have created the precedent that has become easier to defer to.
No blog for that day.
Fine, but detrimental to the initial goals I had for this process.
But I will get over it all.
Fairly easily to boot.

It looks like it's going to rain today.
I'm hungry so must get this done.
I also hear a paint brush call my name.
Possibly...........

Leviticus 7
Ok here's an "out there" thought.
In v6 it reads that every MALE priest may eat of the "guilt offering".
I haven't noticed this distinction before.
When the priests are mentioned earlier, it has always been the "SONS" of Aaron or just priests.
Can this reference to only the male priests infer female priests existed?
My limited knowledge of the cultural aspect would initially say "I doubt it."
It was just a small statement that jumps and and goes "think about that Steve."
So I have.
And I will.
(I'm not even sure that if it means there were or were not, that it's a big deal anyway. Just a curiosity.)

The importance of using blood in the sacrifices and never for food.
God's instruction to His people, don't eat blood or be cut off from everybody else.
The atoning power of the blood is recognised.
There is only one use for the blood.
Covering guilt.
Giving thanks.
Seeking peace.

Ok, technically that's 3.
It is morning time.
;)
