Immerse: The Daily Bible Reading Experience - Day 127
In this episode of 'Immerse: The Daily Bible Reading Experience,' we delve into the ceremonial laws given by the Lord to Moses and Aaron as recorded in the Bible. Today's reading covers detailed instructions about ritual cleanliness, focusing on the handling of bodily discharges, emissions, and menstrual periods, as well as the purification process for priests, including Aaron's duties in the most holy place. The scripture provides step-by-step guidelines for maintaining ceremonial cleanliness among the people of Israel and protecting the sanctity of the tabernacle. We also learn about the Day of Atonement rituals involving the scapegoat and the purification sacrifices, which are essential for the community's spiritual cleanliness and their right standing with the Lord. Tune in to explore the depth and significance of these ancient practices.

QUICK START GUIDE
3 ways to get the most out of your experience
- Use Immerse: Beginnings instead of your regular chapter and verse Bible. This special reader’s edition restores the Bible to its natural simplicity and beauty by removing chapter and verse numbers and other historical additions. Letters look like letters, songs look like songs, and the original literary structures are visible in each book.
- Commit to making this a community experience. Immerse is designed for groups to encounter large portions of the Bible together
for 8 weeks–more like a book club, less like a Bible study. By meeting every week in small groups and discussing what you read in open,
honest conversations, you and your community can come together to be transformed through an authentic experience with the Scriptures. - Aim to understand the big story. Read through “The Stories and the Story” (p. 483) to see how the books of the Bible work together to tell God’s story of his creation’s restoration. As you read through Immerse: Beginnings, rather than ask, “How do I fit God into my busy life?” begin asking, “How can I join in God’s great plan by living out my part in his story?”
