Chapter 22 begins with, " 1Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "Tell Aaron and his sons to be careful with the holy gifts of the sons of Israel, which they dedicate to Me, so as not to profane My holy name; I am the LORD."
Then this chapter proceeds to explain the reverence, right attitude, clean hands/pure heart priests are to have and continually strive to have for worship. It must not be allowed to accept sin when we are in the midst of our Perfect God.
This chapter "gets to me" as I am reminded that Sunday worship is not any bit about me - it is about worshipping our Holy God. I am brought low again - where I need to be.
Chapter 23 is about the laws of religious festivals and the Day of Atonement. Again - how incredibly precious that God would choose to instruct His people, knowing who they are - and, yet, who they can become! In Him! In Him alone!
