Leviticus 22:18-25
Excerpted from: Does Doctrine Really Matter? (Part Six)These verses very clearly spell out that God is not at all pleased when His people defile the very special relationship He has established with them by means of careless, corrupted, polluted, defective, unacceptable offerings that do not meet His standards. Again I ask you: Do you honestly think that Joshua would ignore those instructions?
Regardless of the condition of the offering itself, if it came from a Gentile—a stranger—it was not acceptable because of the source of the offering. Is that clear, or what?
You might have a little bit of difficulty between verse 18 where strangers are mentioned, and verse 25 where they are mentioned again. There is a difference between the two. The strangers in verse 18 are those who are traveling with Israel, living with Israel, and have become, as we would say today, converted and have been circumcised, making the covenant with God. Then there was one law. It did not matter whether the person was a Gentile or an Israelite. But if the person was unconverted, if he was a stranger, he had not made the covenant, his offering was unacceptable. That is the one in verse 25.
Leviticus 22:17-25
Excerpted from: Wavesheaf Requirements and Joshua 5Something offered can come neither from the stranger's hand or in any way be blemished. Some like to say that this does not apply to the Wavesheaf. That is utter nonsense. The principle applies to all offerings. You don't create exceptions for other offerings. God always gets the best.
