The sin offering made for Aaron atones for both Aaron and the people. The first act of a new High Priest was repentance. Sinful leaders will poison a people's relationship to God.
However, righteous leaders can atone for a sinful people (I'm not talking about eternal salvation!) and move them in a healthier direction, towards their own repentance and greater righteousness.

Reading the post from Jerry Mitchell https://social.ttn.place/post/....54841_people-plan-go just made me wonder and I did a quick search for ironclad evidence either way.
When I think of Father, is He mostly a loving Father or an angry Judge? I actually looked for verses where a description (not from a Psalmist) is given by a prophet or witness saying that Father laughs and I couldn't find any. We do see it is poem form, but not as an eyewitness seeing and writing it down.
The Bible doesn’t shy away from either description.
Scripture tells us clearly: “God is love” (1 John 4:8). His mercy is rich (Ephesians 2:4), and He is “gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love” (Psalm 103:8). Time and again, He shows patience even in the face of rebellion (Nehemiah 9:17).
But His anger is also very real. When Israel worshiped idols or oppressed the poor, “the anger of the Lord was kindled against them” (Judges 2:14). He judged sin in the wilderness (Numbers 11:1), wept over Jerusalem (Luke 19:41), and drove out money changers from the temple in righteous indignation (John 2:15–16).
His wrath is not impulsive—it is just. “The wrath of God is revealed... against all ungodliness” (Romans 1:18). He doesn’t delight in punishment, but in restoration (Ezekiel 18:23). Even His judgments are rooted in His deep desire to bring His people back.
And while His anger lasts a moment, “His favor is for a lifetime” (Psalm 30:5). Ultimately, it was His love that led Him to pour out His own wrath upon His Son—for our sake (Isaiah 53:5).
So is Father a God of love or anger; and should we even ascribe these attributes to Him?
Yes, I do see that His anger is never separate from His love—it flows from it; a God who loves righteousness must hate evil. And a Father who deeply loves His children will correct them when they stray (Hebrews 12:6).
But does the Bible give evidence more that Father is a Judge and that comes first or a loving Father who cares more for His creation than what we see as justice?
How do you bring this together?

#proverbs 20:1-2 is arranged in a parallelism that illustrates how all alcohol and government are both dangerous servants and fearful masters. In the wrong context, at the wrong time, or too much of either one can do far more harm than good.

People plan, God laughs. This most likely comes from a Yiddish saying based on many verses in the Bible such as Psalm 59:8, “But You, O LORD, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations” While most of these verses indicate the plans of mankind are wicked, even the best of plans may be set aside by our Creator when our plans are not aligned with His plan.
Have any of you tried goat milk? I have. I prefer it over cow milk. I'm lactose intolerant with cow milk, but have no problem with goat milk.

Thought for Today: Tuesday April 22
To be rooted in YHVH’s Word is perhaps the most important need of the human soul. There are no shortcuts – if you love Him, obey His Law. The Law CANNOT bring you into heaven but the Law shows you how to conduct your life. Sin is the transgression of the Law. Only by accepting Yeshua as your Moshiach, can you enter the Kingdom, but to be His child, to follow in His footsteps, is to know when wrong is wrong through His Commandments.
