Isaiah Leviticus
Isaiah 3:1-11 covers the Ordination of the Priests, Firing
of Nadab and Abihu, and Priest's Share stories in the book of Leviticus.
FE 1For the Master of masters takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah 1|15 the stay 2|15 and the staff, 3|15 the whole stay of bread 4|15 and the whole stay of water
5|15 2and the mighty man 6|15 and the man of war 7|15 and the judge 8|15 and the prophet 9|15 and the diviner 10|15 and the elder
11|15 3and the head of 50 12|15 and the honorable man 13|15 and the counsellor 14|15 and the skilled craftsman 15|15 and the expert counsellor.
Isaiah 3:1-34I will appoint young men to be their princes and mockers will rule over them.
Isaiah 3:45The people will oppress each other, each his neighbor, and the young men will provoke the elders and the base men the honorable,
Isaiah 3:56because a man will take hold of his brother in the house of his father and say to him, You have clothing, be our ruler and govern this ruin. I Leviticus 8:6-7
7In that day he will answer and say, I will not be the head, for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. Do not make me a ruler over the people.
Isaiah 3:6-78For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen, because their tongue and their actions are against the Master, provoking god in the majesty of his glory. I Leviticus 10:1-2
9Their hypocrisy witnesses against them and they declare their sins like Sodom and they do not hide them. Woe to their soul, for they have worked evil to themselves.
Isaiah 3:8-910Say to the righteous that it will be well with them, for they will eat the fruit of their actions. I Leviticus 10:12-13
11Woe to the wicked, it will be ill with him, for the reward of his hands will be given him. Isaiah 3:10-11 (Isaiah 3:1-11 BRB) Isaiah says when a man will take hold of his brother in
the house of his father, and say to him, You have clothing, be
our ruler.
This aligns with the ordination of Aaron, by his
brother Moses, as the high priest of Israel, a ceremony which
involved dressing him in a special robe
(Lev 8:5-9).
Isaiah says provoking god in the majesty of his glory.
This matches the story of Nadab and Abihu offering strange incense
in the presence of Yahvah
(Lev 10:1).
Isaiah says Their hypocrisy witnesses against them; and they
declare their sins like Sodom, they do not hide them. Woe to their
soul, for they have worked evil to themselves.
Sodom and Gomorrah
were destroyed by fire of course, as were Nadab and Abihu
(Lev 10:2).
Isaiah says Say to the righteous that it will be well
with them; for they will eat the fruit of their actions.
This aligns with Moses telling Aaron and his remaining sons
to eat their share of the offerings for their work
(Lev 10:12-15).
