Turtle Tuesday - Lent 18

 

Sea Turtle by Danielle Burford Artmajeur.com

And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.          Leviticus 12:8

It's turtledoves.  What strange verses to our modern ears.  These are thanksgiving and sin offerings (they come as a pair).  Why?  the explanations never feels satisfactory to me.   

PRAYER:  I give you thanks, and I request forgiveness.  Both are necessary as I come into your Holy presence.
