Lev
We’re talking about cleansing and referenced ‘outside the camp’ as well. Does anybody get the dabbing of blood on ear, thumb, and big toe? All I really found on ‘log of oil’ was a portion about the size of a ‘pitchers’ worth.

I equate the cleansing of the ‘mildew’ to sin/sin-desires in my own life – the inside walls of ‘my house’ require God’s grace of forgiveness/cleansing on a daily bases.

Mark
Why do you think Jesus asked his disciples how many loaves of bread did they have to feed the 4000? In v11, the Pharisees often came to test Jesus – seems there were many that were testing him. God allowed Satan to test Jesus in the desert too – who do you think needed the proof?

We’ve blog’d about this before, but again, the Pharisees were requesting another miriacle after he had fed 9,000 men, and their wives/children with 12 loaves of bread and 10 fish. C’mon? Do we sometimes miss the signs?
