Laws and Offerings... Leviticus Quiz

Answer: Repayment-Offerings

Regulations on repayment-offerings were given to Moses by the Lord. Repayment-offerings should be made for various reasons including:

-Unintentionally sinning by failing to hand over payments to the Lord
-Breaking the Lord's commands
-Refusing to return any deposit to a fellow Israelite, or stealing or cheating from a fellow Israelite.

The quote in the question is taken from Leviticus 7.2. It is a regulation for repayment-offerings that are classified as extremely holy.

Answer: False

Any object that is considered to be unclean by a priest after seven days because of the spread of mildew must be destroyed.

"The priest shall burn it, because it is a spreading mildew which must be destroyed by fire." (Leviticus 13.52)

If however, when the priest examines this object and the mildew has not spread, "he shall order it to be washed and put away for another seven days." (Leviticus 13.54)

Answer: First day of the seventh month

In Leviticus, there are various festivals in which days of happiness, prosperity, and ritual are allowed to take place. One of these festivals is the "New Year Festival" which has been designated as a day of rest.

"On the first day of the seventh month observe a special day of rest, and come together for worship when the trumpets sound. Present a food-offering to the Lord and do none of your daily work." (Leviticus 23.23-25)

Answer: Twelve

"The Bread Offered to God" belongs to Aaron and his descendants and should be eaten in a holy place on the day of the Sabbath, and should be placed in the presence of the Lord.

"Take twenty-four pounds of flour and bake twelve loaves of bread. Put the loaves in two rows, six in each row, on the table covered with pure gold, which is in the Lord's presence." (Leviticus 24.5)

Answer: none

The Lord made it very clear in his commands that one should not take advantage of the poor, and instead, we must provide for the poor.

"Do not charge him any interest, but obey God and let your fellow-Israelite live near you. Do not make him pay interest on the money you lend him, and do not make profit on the food you sell him." (Leviticus 25.36-37)

Answer: All of these

All of these requirements have been taken from Leviticus 5.1-5. If a person is not able to make a sin-offering due to financial purposes, this is what they should do:

"If a man cannot afford a sheep or goat, he shall bring to the Lord as the payment for his sin two doves or two pigeons, one for a sin-offering and one for a burnt-offering." (Leviticus 5.7)

"If a man cannot afford two doves or two pigeons, he shall bring one kilogramme of flour as a sin offering. He shall not put any olive-oil or any incense on it, because it is a sin-offering, not a grain-offering." (Leviticus 5.11)

Answer: Salt

Salt represents the covenant between you and God. "You must put salt on all your offerings." (Leviticus 2.13)

On the contrary however, a grain-offering should never be made with yeast or honey. The bread should not be burnt when it is presented to the Lord nor should it be burnt on the altar.

Answer: They were burned to death

Against the command of the Lord, Nadab and Abihu "each took their fire pans, put live coals in it, added incense, and presented it to the Lord." (Leviticus 10.1) The Lord had not commanded Aaron's sons to present this offering to begin with and therefore this fire was not holy. This was considered disrespectful in serving the wishes of the Lord.

"Suddenly the Lord sent fire, and it burnt them to death in the presence of the Lord." (Leviticus 10.2)

Answer: no

Man should not treat their fellow Israelites as slaves and therefore, if one provides for another, this does not give them the right to make them do their work like slaves. "You shall not make him do the work of a slave." (Leviticus 25.39)

Once the Year of Restoration is finished, they were to be safely returned to their ancestors. Israelites were considered the Lord's slaves as he brought them out of Egypt and therefore could not be sold into slavery without severe consequences attached.

Answer: "These are the commands that the Lord gave Moses on Mount Sinai for the people of Israel."

The final passage can be found in Leviticus 27.34. This final passage leads the reader into the Book of Numbers which interprets the life of the Israelites and how the Lord's commands affected the Israelites after they left Mount Sinai.
