1. Leviticus 8:9 demonstrates that the high priest wore a "head covering" and there is nothing in Scripture that denotes this is a problem for the high priest. What are the implications of this when considering Paul's shame motif in 1 Corinthians 11:7 as he argues for that a man should not "cover" his head?

2. Leviticus 8:23-24 discusses an aspect of the ordination ceremony for Aaron and his sons. It mentions Moses taking blood of the slaughtered ram and placing some of it on the lobe of Aaron's right (not left) ear, on the thumb of his right hand (not left), and on the big toe of his right foot (not left). What does this signify for us today when there is no sacrifice but there are surely times when some are ordained?

3. Leviticus 6:18b states "Whatever touches them will become holy."
6:27 states "Whatever touches any of the flesh will become holy."
7:19 "Meat that touches anything ceremonially unclean must not be eaten." What does "them" mean (in v18), what does "whatever" mean (in v27), and what is the problem of meat that touches anything ceremonially unclean in light of Romans 14? In addition, does Haggai 2:11-13 help us any?

4. In Esther 9:6-10, the 10 sons of Haman have been killed (confirmed by the words of the king in v12). Why would Esther desire for the dead sons of Haman to be hanged and why would the king grant such a request if they were already dead?
