  • Q* what stood out to you in the story, or what did you notice in questions 16-18?

Healing the Bleeding Woman

  • Questions 3, 4

ESV Notes from Leviticus
The New Testament shows God, the giver of perfect life, incarnate in Jesus Christ, healing those who suffered exclusion from His presence under these Old Testament rules (Matt. 9:20–22). The divine program of redemption was historically progressive. The old covenant arrangements that seem so strange to us were early object lessons, a “guardian” pointing forward to the full redemption accomplished in Jesus Christ (Gal. 3:24, 25).

  • Q* Today, what ways do illnesses cause isolation — what are some other causes of loneliness and isolation?

  • Q * in Leviticus, how was atonement/restoration achieved?
    29 On the eighth day she must take two doves or two young pigeons and bring them to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 30 The priest is to sacrifice one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. In this way he will make atonement for her before the Lord for the uncleanness of her discharge.
  • Question 13 b.
  • Question 14 plus:
    Who are people on the margins (because of illness or other reasons) – how do we reach out to them and include them?

  • Ask God for healing and restoration
  • Ask God to show you how you can reach out to others
