Quick takeaways

  • The practicality of cleaning the tabernacle after sacrifices was not directly addressed in Leviticus, but later Jewish tradition suggests the use of water and cisterns under the second temple to wash away the blood.
  • The laying on of hands in Leviticus represents the appointment of a representative, associating the person or object with the one placing their hands, which involves the transfer of sins or impurity.

Deep dives

The practicality of cleaning after sacrifices in Leviticus

The podcast episode discusses a listener's question about the practicality of cleaning the tabernacle after blood and food sacrifices. The hosts explain that while symbolically the sacrifices purified, it seems practical to consider the mess it created. They discuss how the Torah and biblical authors never addressed this issue directly, but later Jewish tradition suggests the use of water and cisterns under the second temple to wash away the blood. The hosts also note that the emphasis in Leviticus is on the symbolism of purification rather than the literal cleaning of surfaces.
