Acharey Mot-Kedoshim (Torah Pearls: S3E28)

Acharey Mot & Kedoshim〚 Weirdness in the Wilderness 〛Torah Pearls

In this week’s episode, Ross, Jono, and Ezra venture into some of the strangest terrain of the Torah—where goat demons haunt the wilderness, “uncovering nakedness” becomes a legal category, and the Day of Atonement seems conspicuously absent from the stories it should inhabit. We explore the infamous Holiness Code (Leviticus 17–20), examine the tension between priestly and prophetic voices, trace odd laws around blood, sacrifice, and sex, and uncover curious additions in ancient scrolls.

Is Leviticus 19 a new version of the Ten Words? Did Israel sacrifice to hairy goat spirits in the desert? And why does the Bible regulate roadkill? Tune in as we sift through purity, taboo, and sacred weirdness in the wild.
