🔥 Chamishi 15, 6027 AA 🔥 – Dining with Holiness: Where, When, and Who

In the ancient service of YHVH, the table was never casual. Not every holy gift was eaten the same way, nor in the same place, nor by the same people. Today we merge the instructions given for “most holy” offerings and “holy” offerings, learning that the moment and the location are as set-apart as the food itself.

📖 Main Scripture: Vayikra (Leviticus) 6:16–18; 7:6–10

“This is the portion of the offerings made by fire to YHVH… it is most set-apart. Every male among the priests shall eat it. It shall be eaten in a set-apart place; it is most set-apart. But the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution you shall eat in any clean place, you and your sons and your daughters with you, for they are your portion and your sons’ portion, given from the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Yisra’el.”

🔥 Devotional Reflection

Holiness in the kingdom of YHVH is precise — not vague, not negotiable. “Most holy” offerings (קָדְשֵׁי קֳדָשִׁים‎) were consumed only by the kohanim, and only in the set-apart courtyard. These were portions directly tied to atonement, where proximity to the altar and priesthood was essential.

“Holy” offerings (קֳדָשִׁים קַלִּים‎), such as peace offerings, could be eaten more broadly by the priestly family — sons and daughters alike — but still in a state of ceremonial cleanness. The timing mattered too: some had to be eaten the same day, others by the next day, never left to decay.

The message to us is clear — in HaMashiach, we too have a table prepared before us, but the way we partake matters. Not every spiritual meal is for everyone, and not every blessing is to be consumed in any manner we choose. Holiness has boundaries — not to starve us, but to guard the sacred.

⚠️ Reminders and Warnings

• Most holy things require the closest proximity to YHVH’s presence and the highest personal purity.
• Not all blessings are “all-access.” Some are reserved for those walking in specific callings or covenant responsibilities.
• Delaying obedience is as dangerous as disobedience — even holy food spoils if left too long.
• 🔥 REMEMBER TO CHECK YOUR ARMOR DAILY!

🙏 Prayer

Abba YHVH, teach me to discern between the holy and the most holy in my life. Show me where You invite me to eat at Your table, and where You call me to wait in reverence. May my timing, my place, and my company in Your presence all be in line with Your Word. I receive Your portion with gratitude, and I protect it with care. Through Yahusha, my High Priest and King. Baruch YHVH.
