Today, I am reading and commenting on Leviticus 5-7.

Today’s passage begins by holding us responsible to tell those in authority what we know about things which they are investigating.  Actually, it looks as if we are obligated to help those who are seeking to get to the bottom of anything (although that gets more complicated).  From there it goes on to talk about those who committed sins without realizing it, and those who were unaware that they were committing a sin.  As the final part of this, it mentions those who do wrong without intending to do so.  All of this touches on things which lead us down a path to bad things:

• • “I don’t want to get involved.”
  • “It’s not my concern.”
  • “I didn’t know it was wrong.”
  • “I didn’t know.”
  • “I didn’t mean to do that.”
  • “I meant it to help them.”

  The point of this passage is that we are still responsible for our actions, and for the results of our actions, even if those results were not our intentions, even if we meant well.

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