Only the priests and their immediate families are allowed to eat the offerings from the tabernacle. And the priests’ slaves.
God only likes animals without defects and deformities for His sacrifices so He will not accept anything that is blind or has some kind of congenital defect. Likewise if there’s something wrong with its testacles. Unless it’s a freewill offering, then you can offer a stunted ox or sheep, but it still has to have pristine testacles.
Every seventh day is a Sabbath day. No working allowed. If I didn’t know anything else about the Church and someone asked me what the most important thing in the Bible was based on what I’ve read so far, I would say that it was to keep the Sabbath, no contest. God has mentioned the Sabbath in just about every conversation he has had with anyone about how they should be living. Keeping the Sabbath has got to be either the most important commandment God handed down to the Israelites or the one they had the most trouble following because He feels the need to repeat it about once a chapter.
Additional holy days are the Passover, the feast of first fruits, the feast of weeks, feast of trumpets, day of atonement and the feast of tabernacles. Each event involves burning sacrifices and resting. The day of atonement also requires that you fast or else you are to be cut off from your people.
