Speaking of Leviticus Graham Scroggie said, "Spiritually this is one of the richest books in the Bible, and to know it...is a bountiful education in divinity." O that people today understood "race pollution" and the absolute necessity of spiritual washing: Titus 3:5. This much neglected chapter, like chapter 13 and 14, shows us how God sees the race in its natural condition. "Sin lies so deep in the human constitution that it can't be deeper", said Samuel Kellogg in his masterful commentary on Leviticus. Rightly understood this is one of the most practical passages in the whole Bible. This chapter is about the reproductive organization in men and in women. It has particulary to do with discharges natural and unnatura. To get the point, begin with the images as you see them: 15:5ff. Imagine people with these sorts of issues and discharges who did not bathe for years or even a lifetime. The repulsiveness would be nearly unbearable wouldn't it? Thepoint is that all human beings can bringf forth are polluted offspring from the womb who need spiritual washing. Why are human beings the way they are? Why did David do what he did with Bathsheba and her husband? In Psalm 51:5 David says this is why--taking his remarks from Leviticus 15--"Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me." Leviticus doesn't advance the chronology of the Jewish nation, but it greatly increases their knowledge of themselves as sinners in need of God's mercy. TOO BAD MOST OF THEM MISSED IT: Romans 10:3! Have we missed it? We can check ourselves: Titus 3:2-5.
