What if God struck your sons dead? This the story of Aaron and his two sons, a very sad and poignant story of the first high priest, and what we learn about God and humanity in a story most people are afraid to tell, because it has to do with God striking people dead and things we’d rather not talk about.

There is a recurring theme in the chapters leading up to and in Leviticus 7: forgiveness of to the offender. Read that again: the offender, not the offended. Pay back what you owe and add to it, make your offering, and you will be forgiven. The phrase is repeated several times in this section: “and the person will be forgiven.”
The idea of reparations is as ancient as Leviticus. The idea came from God and the English word that gets translated in this context of life in Israel is restitution. In today’s Journey Bible Project blog, learn more about how the ideas of restitution, reparations, and punitive damages can be found in Leviticus.
Exodus and Leviticus include strong warnings against false idols and entering the presence of God without caution and disobediently.
