If there's anything I'm learning from reading all this Old Testament is how holy God is. From how to construct the tabernacle to the rules on what is clean and what is unclean, and how to become clean if you are unclean...
It's because you must be clean in the God's presence. Because He is perfectly clean.
Honestly, I read these passages, and I'm just like, "God, why do you even love these people." They can't keep these. We read some of them, and we're like, "Okay...don't have sex with my mother. That makes sense." But then others, we can't help be unclean. When a woman has menstruation or when we have skin diseases or eat certain animals, we become unclean and require a gruesome process to become clean.
Why does a clean God desire so strongly to love an unclean people?
I am the Lord your God.
Even now.
