I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

In the year 2000, on the 23rd day of this month, my wife married me.  So here we are on day 10 of the 20 days that I am going to wish her Happy Anniversary for 20 years of marriage.  Happy Anniversary Darling!

Today, I am reading and commenting on Ezekiel 46-48.

So, yesterday I noticed something in the passage which I did not comment on because it was in the middle of a section which I cannot see a way to apply today.  However, I saw a very similar thing today, also in the middle of a section for which I do not see an application today (in both cases I believe this to be a limitation to my vision, not a comment on the value of the passage).  So, in yesterday’s passage the priests were instructed leave the clothes they wore when they were ministering to God in special inner rooms of the Temple in order to be sure not to endanger anyone by transmitting holiness to them.  In today’s passage, the priests were to prepare the offerings eaten only by the priests in special kitchens so as to avoid carrying them through the through the outer courtyard and risk endangering the people by transmitting holiness to them.   I am completely baffled as to what Ezekiel is getting at by saying that the people would be endangered by having holiness transmitted to them.  If any of my readers think that they understand this, please comment.
