Perhaps nothing illustrates this shift better than the extraordinary attention surrounding the red heifer.
Numbers 19 describes a purification ceremony involving an unblemished red cow. Its ashes were mixed with water and used to cleanse people from ritual impurity associated with contact with the dead.
To most people, it is one of the more obscure commandments in the Old Testament.
To Jews preparing for renewed Temple worship, it is anything but obscure.

Practical preparations for the ceremony have also taken place.
Think about what that means.
