George Washington was at the end of his rope figuratively speaking as he and his men arrived at Valley Forge. No food, no supplies and strongly questioning his calling, George Washington was truly a desperate man. However, just as he was considering giving up on his venture and sending his soldiers away, he received a vision of the country he was striving to create. He was given his purpose back. He had a calling to be head and shoulders above other men in his conduct as he fought to free the colonies from British rule.
The book of Leviticus also gives a vision, an understanding of how a priest is supposed to conduct himself and why the priesthood were supposed to conduct themselves more carefully than their brethren as they worked to bring the people closer to God.
