Earthen vessels

Simple earthen vessels. There they are. 

Wading through laws in Leviticus, I see them. In the details. Amid ritual regulations for priests, Levites, and the people of God.

In these particular earthen pots, they boil the sin offering. That only priests may eat. 

Their use is short-lived in the days of the Old Covenant. Bronze bowls can be scrubbed clean. Earthenware can’t.

Wounded

Inside the cover of a 1995 journal, I find these words: In case of evacuation

And underneath, a simple list. What I hoped to take. 

Bible. Journals. Baby books. Two baby quilts Mom embroidered. Photos. Recipe book.
