Lev 23: God loves parties. God loves us to work, but God loves us to rest, and God loves us to party. Trumpets and wine and cakes and a whole lot of meat. Is it holy to smile while you consume all this stuff on God's behalf as a priest? Is it holy to give a satisfied burp? Does the Church really know what it means to make a great rejoicing? A pure, holy, praise-filled party? Solemn and afflicted we can do. Party? Not convinced. Have we even discovered how to rejoice for one day, let alone seven days in a row?
Lev 26: Did Israel ever keep a years sabbath for the land? How long were they in the promised land before exile? The land rested 70 years in their exile: do the numbers add up? I'll bet they do!
