ch.19 - Heb.9:11-14 says it all. May we be sure to remember what was done for us as we read today.
Peter [UK] Comment added in 2001 Reply to Peter
There has to be some significance with the fact that this major sacrifice uses a female animal. There has to be a connection with the concept of the bride of Christ and similar related ideas. This is, in that case, the self-sacrifice we need to make in order to be humbled before God
Peter [UK] Comment added in 2002 Reply to Peter
When the people had accused Moses of killing the people of the LORD (Numbers 16:41) 14,700 died. (Numbers 16:49). These bodies would need to be buried - the bodies of Korah and his rebels had been buried by God when the ground opened and swallowed them. The Red Heifer was introduced at this time, for anyone who had touched a dead body, to teach Israel the heinous nature of rebellion and the death that followed on that rebellion.

For all the ritual and significance of the red heifer it only purified the flesh (Hebrews 9:13).
Peter Forbes [Mountsorrel (UK)] Comment added in 2003 Reply to Peter
As we read this account of the red heifer we see that it was Eleazar who was appointed to do this work. Why? He was the assistant or deputy high priest, the execution of the heifer would involve temporary defilement, from which the high priest was to be preserved with the greatest of care. It was led "forth without the camp" in accordance with the law regarding victims laden with the sins of the people, thus pointing forward to Christ. (Heb 13:12)

Notes on the ashes.
Ashes were taken out of the camp indicating that the a different means of atoneing would come outside of the law,
The ashes of the heifer (separated as well as they could from the ashes of the wood wherewith it was burnt) were to be carefully gathered up by the hand of a clean person, for the use of the congregation, as there was occasion not only for that generation, but for posterity; for the ashes of this one heifer were sufficient to season as many vessels of water as the people of Israel would need for many ages.
The Jews say that this one served till the captivity, nearly 1000 years, and that there was never another heifer burnt till Ezra's time.
The man gathering up the ashes was unclean until evening just as the all the servants being unclean like Christ was shall be unclean until we are immortal.
The water of purification was made by the ashes of a heifer, whose blood was sprinkled before the sanctuary; so that which cleanses our consciences is the abiding virtue of the death of Christ; it is his blood that cleanses from all sin, 1John 1:7
Similar instructions were given in regard to the bullock for a sin offering Lev 4:12 though its efficacy was limited to the time of the offering these ashes like Christ are done once. Heb 10:12
That the ashes were sufficient for all the people. There needed not to be a fresh heifer slain for every person or family that had occasion to be purified, but this one was enough for all, even for the strangers that sojourned among them (v. 10); so there is virtue enough in the blood of Christ for all that repent and believe the gospel, for every Israelite, and not for their sins only, but for the sins of the whole world, 1 Jn. 2:2.
That these ashes were capable of being preserved without waste to many ages. No bodily substance is so incorruptible as ashes are, which made these a very fit emblem of the everlasting efficacy of the sacrifice of Christ. He is able to save, and, in order to that, able to cleanse, to the uttermost, both of person and times.
These ashes were laid up as a stock or treasure, for the constant purification of Israel from their pollutions; so the blood of Christ is laid up for us in the word and sacraments, as an inexhaustible fountain of merit, to which by faith we may have recourse daily for the purging of our consciences; Zech 13:1
When we turn to 1 Cor 3:9-10 we see that the ashes were remants of what was left of their faithful sacrice, so ashes were not simply rubbish they were testiment to the faithfulness of those who had made sacrifice.

Notes that are not verse specific
IF GOD BE FOR US - WHO CAN BE AGAINST US?
I love this verse. When we are walking in the fear of the Lord, we can have confidence that God is on our side.
Romans 8:31 - "What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?"
The person who is walking in the fear of the Lord and is living by hIS WORD, will have fewer feelings of insecurity, abandonment and fear. There will be far fewer times when salvation is doubted. The fear of the Lord produces a strong sense of security and close fellowship with the Father. This is a blessed benefit!

"Where no oxen are, the trough is clean;
But much increase comes by the strength of an ox."
You can save money when you don't have an Ox, because you don't need to buy feed for it. But perhaps not having an Ox means we won't make any money anyway? The proverb is about balance, don't you think?

Notes that are not verse specific
ch 5 - LOVE
Three times in Galatians 5, Paul emphasises that the only thing that is really important in this life is love. He says, "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing its self through love." And later, "But do not use your freedom to indulge in the sinful nature; rather serve one another in love." And again, when he compares the acts of the sinful nature (which are really yucky things), with the fruit of the Spirit, he describes the fruit of the Spirit as love.
Love needs to be our motivation, love needs to be our leader and love needs to be our action and expression. Love must fill our lives just as air fills our lungs. Love will make us into the person God wants us to be. Living in love will keep us from evil. The two greatest commandments are to love the Lord your God with all your mind, soul and strength and to love your neighbour as yourself. At the end of everything, love will come shining through.
God loves you so much that he gave Jesus for your sins. Jesus let himself be offered because of his love for you.
Love is the greatest!

Ch.6 Having exhorted the believers in Galatia to individually manifest the fruits of the Spirit, Paul now exhorts them as to their ecclesial responsibilities, calling upon them to work in co-operation with each other, and to cease the senseless bickering and dissension that had characterised their attitude to that time.
John Wilson [Toronto West (Can)] Comment added in 2005 Reply to John
6:2; 5 Paul in these two verses is writing about two different types of burdens. In the second verse the Greek word is BAROS (922), which suggests a heavy weight, a weight that can only be lifted with the help of others, when we can help our Brother with such a weight, we should of course be there to assist him. On the other hand, the burden of V,5 comes from the Greek word PHORTION (5413) which is a task or a service, it is an individual burden, a type of burden which must be born by the person involved.
John Wilson [Toronto West (Can)] Comment added in 2006 Reply to John
We see from the whole of the epistle to the Galatian church that Paul had a difficult problem to tackle, and he explains the principles of the freedom those brethren and sisters had in Christ very clearly, compared to the slavery under the Law.
We might be tempted therefore to think that the Letter to the Galatians has no real benefit for us, except to emphasis what a privilege we have in 'being in Christ' through baptise. However, we may not be physically circumcised as the Jews were, but we can become circumcised and slaves to the traditions we hold dear, losing sight of the agape love we should share with each other.

7. Ye did run <5143>(5707) well <2573>; who <5101> did hinder <348>(5656)(5625) <1465> you <5209> that ye should <3982> <0> not <3361> obey <3982>(5745) the truth <225>?
8. This persuasion <3988> cometh not <3756> of <1537> him that calleth <2564>(5723) you <5209>.
9. A little <3398> leaven <2219> leaveneth <2220>(5719) the whole <3650> lump <5445>.
10. I <1473> have confidence <3982>(5754) in <1519> you <5209> through <1722> the Lord <2962>, that <3754> ye will be <5426> <0> none <3762> otherwise <243> minded <5426>(5692): but <1161> he that troubleth <5015>(5723) you <5209> shall bear <941>(5692) his judgment <2917>, whosoever <3748> he be <302> <5600>(5753).
11. And <1161> I <1473>, brethren <80>, if <1487> I <2784> <0> yet <2089> preach <2784>(5719) circumcision <4061>, why <5101> do I <1377> <0> yet <2089> suffer persecution <1377>(5743)? then <686> is <2673> <0> the offence <4625> of the cross <4716> ceased <2673>(5769).
12. I would <3785> they were <609> <0> even <2532> cut off <609>(5698) which trouble <387>(5723) you <5209>.
13. For <1063>, brethren <80>, ye <5210> have been called <2564>(5681) unto <1909> liberty <1657>; only <3440> use not <3361> liberty <1657> for <1519> an occasion <874> to the flesh <4561>, but <235> by <1223> love <26> serve <1398>(5720) one another <240>.
14. For <1063> all <3956> the law <3551> is fulfilled <4137>(5743) in <1722> one <1520> word <3056>, even in <1722> this; Thou shalt love <25>(5692) thy <4675> neighbour <4139> as <5613> thyself <1438>.
15. But <1161> if <1487> ye bite <1143>(5719) and <2532> devour <2719>(5719) one another <240>, take heed <991>(5720) that ye be <335> <0> not <3361> consumed <355>(5686) one <240> <0> of <5259> another <240>.
16. This I say <3004>(5719) then <1161>, Walk <4043>(5720) in the Spirit <4151>, and <2532> ye shall <5055> <0> not <3364> fulfil <5055>(5661) the lust <1939> of the flesh <4561>.
17. For <1063> the flesh <4561> lusteth <1937>(5719) against <2596> the Spirit <4151>, and <1161> the Spirit <4151> against <2596> the flesh <4561>: and <1161> these <5023> are contrary <480>(5736) the one to the other <240>: so that <2443> ye cannot <3363> do <4160>(5725) the things <5023> that ye would <302> <2309>(5725).
18. But <1161> if <1487> ye be led <71>(5743) of the Spirit <4151>, ye are <2075>(5748) not <3756> under <5259> the law <3551>.
19. Now <1161> the works <2041> of the flesh <4561> are <2076>(5748) manifest <5318>, which <3748> are <2076>(5748) these; Adultery <3430>, fornication <4202>, uncleanness <167>, lasciviousness <766>,
20. Idolatry <1495>, witchcraft <5331>, hatred <2189>, variance <2054>, emulations <2205>, wrath <2372>, strife <2052>, seditions <1370>, heresies <139>,
21. Envyings <5355>, murders <5408>, drunkenness <3178>, revellings <2970>, and <2532> such <5125> like <3664>: of the which <3739> I tell <4302> <0> you <5213> before <4302>(5719), as <2531> I have <4277> <0> also <2532> told you in time past <4277>(5627), that <3754> they which do <4238>(5723) such things <5108> shall <2816> <0> not <3756> inherit <2816>(5692) the kingdom <932> of God <2316>.
22. But <1161> the fruit <2590> of the Spirit <4151> is <2076>(5748) love <26>, joy <5479>, peace <1515>, longsuffering <3115>, gentleness <5544>, goodness <19>, faith <4102>,
23. Meekness <4236>, temperance <1466>: against <2596> such <5108> there is <2076>(5748) no <3756> law <3551>.
24. And <1161> they that are <3588> Christ's <5547> have crucified <4717>(5656) the flesh <4561> with <4862> the affections <3804> and <2532> lusts <1939>.
25. If <1487> we live <2198>(5719) in the Spirit <4151>, let us <4748> <0> also <2532> walk <4748>(5725) in the Spirit <4151>.
26. Let us <1096> <0> not <3361> be <1096>(5741) desirous of vain glory <2755>, provoking <4292>(5734) one another <240>, envying <5354>(5723) one another <240>.
1. Brethren <80>, if <1437> <2532> a man <444> be overtaken <4301>(5686) in <1722> a <5100> fault <3900>, ye <5210> which <3588> are spiritual <4152>, restore <2675>(5720) such an one <5108> in <1722> the spirit <4151> of meekness <4236>; considering <4648>(5723) thyself <4572>, lest <3361> thou <4771> also <2532> be tempted <3985>(5686).
2. Bear ye <941>(5720) one another's <240> burdens <922>, and <2532> so <3779> fulfil <378>(5657) the law <3551> of Christ <5547>.
3. For <1063> if a man <1536> think himself <1380>(5719) to be <1511>(5750) something <5100>, when he is <5607>(5752) nothing <3367>, he deceiveth <5422>(5719) himself <1438>.
4. But <1161> let <1381> <0> every man <1538> prove <1381>(5720) his own <1438> work <2041>, and <2532> then <5119> shall he have <2192>(5692) rejoicing <2745> in <1519> himself <1438> alone <3441>, and <2532> not <3756> in <1519> another <2087>.
5. For <1063> every man <1538> shall bear <941>(5692) his own <2398> burden <5413>.
6. Let <1161> him that is taught <2727>(5746) in the word <3056> communicate <2841>(5720) unto him that teacheth <2727>(5723) in <1722> all <3956> good things <18>.
7. Be <4105> <0> not <3361> deceived <4105>(5744); God <2316> is <3456> <0> not <3756> mocked <3456>(5743): for <1063> whatsoever <1437> a man <444> soweth <4687>(5725), that <5124> shall he <2325> <0> also <2532> reap <2325>(5692).
8. For <3754> he that soweth <4687>(5723) to <1519> his <1438> flesh <4561> shall <2325> <0> of <1537> the flesh <4561> reap <2325>(5692) corruption <5356>; but <1161> he that soweth <4687>(5723) to <1519> the Spirit <4151> shall <2325> <0> of <1537> the Spirit <4151> reap <2325>(5692) life <2222> everlasting <166>.
9. And <1161> let us <1573> <0> not <3361> be weary <1573>(5725) in well <2570> doing <4160>(5723): for <1063> in due <2398> season <2540> we shall reap <2325>(5692), if we faint <1590>(5746) not <3361>.
10. As <5613> we have <2192>(5719) therefore <686> <3767> opportunity <2540>, let us do <2038>(5741) good <18> unto <4314> all <3956> men, especially <1161> <3122> unto <4314> them who are of the household <3609> of faith <4102>.
11. Ye see <1492>(5628) how large <4080> a letter <1121> I have written <1125>(5656) unto you <5213> with mine own <1699> hand <5495>.
12. As many as <3745> desire <2309>(5719) to make a fair shew <2146>(5658) in <1722> the flesh <4561>, they <3778> constrain <315>(5719) you <5209> to be circumcised <4059>(5745); only <3440> lest <3363> they should suffer persecution <1377>(5747) for the cross <4716> of Christ <5547>.
13. For <1063> neither <3761> they themselves <846> who are circumcised <4059>(5746) keep <5442>(5719) the law <3551>; but <235> desire <2309>(5719) to have <4059> <0> you <5209> circumcised <4059>(5745), that <2443> they may glory <2744>(5667) in <1722> your <5212> flesh <4561>.
14. But <1161> God forbid <3361> <1096>(5636) that I <1698> should glory <2744>(5738), save <1508> in <1722> the cross <4716> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, by <1223> whom <3739> the world <2889> is crucified <4717>(5769) unto me <1698>, and I <2504> unto the world <2889>.
15. For <1063> in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> neither <3777> circumcision <4061> availeth <2480>(5719) any thing <5100>, nor <3777> uncircumcision <203>, but <235> a new <2537> creature <2937>.
16. And <2532> as many as <3745> walk <4748>(5692) according to <2583> <0> this <5129> rule <2583>, peace <1515> be on <1909> them <846>, and <2532> mercy <1656>, and <2532> upon <1909> the Israel <2474> of God <2316>.
17. From henceforth <3064> let <3930> <0> no man <3367> trouble <3930>(5720) me <2873> <3427>: for <1063> I <1473> bear <941>(5719) in <1722> my <3450> body <4983> the marks <4742> of the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>.
18. Brethren <80>, the grace <5485> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> be with <3326> your <5216> spirit <4151>. Amen <281>. To <4314> the Galatians <1052> written <1125>(5648) from <575> Rome <4516>.
