Parsha 29: Acharei Mot (After the Death) אַחֲרֵי מוֹת

Parsha in 60 Seconds Presents Acharei Mot

Parsha 29

Shalom and welcome to the Parsha in 60 seconds Today’s portion is from Leviticus 16:1–18:30 it is called Achrei Mot which means “after the death.” After Aaron’s sons died, Aaron was not to come into the Most Holy Place or he would die. Aaron had to participate in a cleansing ritual that required bathing, dressing up and sacrificing some animals. He would take two goats one for a sin offering and one as the scapegoat to carry sin away into the wilderness. This ritual was then commanded by God to be kept once a year forever, it is called the day of atonement or Yom Kippur. Fasting and resting were an all day event before the priest would cast off all the peoples sin onto the goat. God prohibited the slaughter of animals unless they were offerings and also forbid the consuming of blood. Eating already dead meat was unclean. God prohibited sexual immorality involving family, same-sex, and animals. God banned Child sacrifice to Molech. God explained that the Canaanites defiled themselves by adopting these practices, and any who did any of these things would be exiled. And that is Achrei Mot in 60 seconds.

Shalom and welcome to the Parsha in 60 seconds Today’s portion is from Leviticus 14:1–15:33 it is called Metzora which means “one being diseased,” God gave a cleansing ritual for skin disease. It involved two live clean birds, cedar wood, crimson stuff, and hyssop. Eight days later another sacrifice would be made. God explained the ritual for cleansing a house with an eruptive plague. It involved some major remodeling and some birds as well as other things. God gave the ritual for all sorts of male and female cough uncleanliness. Many of these rituals involved a lot of cleaning and clothes washing and a week long process which ends with a sacrifice. Cleanliness was very important to God. God told Moses and Aaron to put the Israelites on guard against uncleanness, lest they die by defiling God’s Tabernacle.

Then the Presence of the Lord appeared to all the people and fire consumed the sacrifices. The people were awestruck. Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu decided to improvise and offered unholy fire and God’s fire incinerated them. Their bodies were placed outside the camp. Aaron and his cousins were not to mourn or leave the tent of meeting. God tells Aaron that he and his remaining sons were not to drink wine or other intoxicants when they entered the Tent of Meeting, keeping it holy or they would die. The priests and their families ate their portions from the sacrifice. Moses discovered that Eleazar and Ithamar had already sacrificed and burnt their sin offering and questioned Aaron. Aaron gave an answer which satisfied Moses. And that is Shemini in 60 seconds.
