Reading for May 15th

Read Ezekiel 45.18-25
Observance of Passover and Sukkot (Booths).
In verses 18-20 the blood of a sin offering purifies the Temple, altar, and inner court on the
 first day of the first month.
The animal blood atones for an individual who has sinned inadvertently.
Note the smearing of blood on the doorposts at the Exodus (Ex 12.21-28).
In verses 21-25 many regard this as a festival calendar, but it merely specifies the obligation
of the prince to provide offerings for Passover (Ex 23.15; Lev 23.4-8; Deut 16.1-8) and Sukkot
(Ex 23.16; Lev 23.33-36; Deut 16.13-15).
