LEVITICUS 24
As in many other places in Leviticus, instructions are given here regarding the tabernacle and how it is run followed by the statement that "this will be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come". The shekinah glory is no longer in the tabernacle (building). The physical presence of the Lord our God is no longer t by the descendants of Moses and Aaron. Were all of these ordinances, etc. away with after the birth, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ?
I wonder why it was death by stoning? Clearly they had other means of execution. If they had the means to kill sheep, bulls, etc. every day they must have had sharp weapons that could have been used to execute more merully, or east more quickly. Was it stoning so that no one person would be held responsible for the death? This way the executioner would not then have to be executed as well ... and so on.
