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.
1.1For the Master of Masters of Hosts
1.2takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah
1.31|15 the stay 2|15 and the staff,
1.43|15 the whole stay of bread 4|15 and the whole stay of water
5|15 2.1and the mighty man 6|15 and the man of war
2.27|15 and the judge 8|15 and the prophet
2.39|15 and the diviner 10|15 and the elder
11|15 3.1and the head of 50 12|15 and the honorable man
3.213|15 and the counsellor 14|15 and the skilled craftsman 15|15 and the expert counsellor.
Isaiah 3:1-34.1I will appoint young men to be their princes
4.2and mockers will rule over them.
Isaiah 3:45.1The people will oppress each other, each his neighbor,
5.2and the young men will provoke the elders
5.3and the base men the honorable,
Isaiah 3:56.1because a man will take hold of his brother
6.2in the house of his father and say to him,
6.3You have clothing,
6.4be our ruler and govern this ruin. I Leviticus 8:6-7
7.1In that day he will answer and say,
7.2I will not be the head,
7.3for in my house is neither bread nor clothing.
7.4Do not make me a ruler over the people.
Isaiah 3:6-78.1For Jerusalem has stumbled
8.2and Judah has fallen,
8.3because their tongue and their actions are against the Master,
8.4provoking God in the majesty of his glory. I Leviticus 10:1-2
9.1Their hypocrisy witnesses against them
9.2and they declare their sins like Sodom
9.3and they do not hide them.
9.4Woe to their soul,
9.5for they have worked evil to themselves.
Isaiah 3:8-910.1Say to the righteous
10.2that it will be well with them,
10.3for they will eat
10.4the fruit of their actions. I Leviticus 10:12-13
11.1Woe to the wicked,
11.2it will be ill with him,
11.3for the reward of his hands
11.4will 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).
