Title: The word Leviticus means “pertaining to the Levites.” The title is appropriate since the Israelite priests were Levites, and the ministry of these priests is discussed.
Background: The third book of the Pentateuch, Leviticus, is a continuation of the story in the book of Exodus. The book begins with Israel having completed construction of the tabernacle. This handbook of instructions for the priests is given during Israel’s one-year encampment at Mount Sinai.
Where written: The general belief is that Moses received this revelation while on Mount Sinai in the wilderness.
To Whom: To the Israelites.
Content: Leviticus sets down regulations to preserve the spiritual, moral, and physical purity of the people, Instructions are provided on how to live holy lives through sacrifice and worship. Also discussed are the five major offerings:
- burnt offering
- meat (meal) offering
- peace offering
- sin offering, and
- trespass offering
Other concerns of Leviticus include Aaron’s role as priest, laws for the priesthood, cleanliness, the Day of Atonement, laws to regulate holiness in all of life, and the appointed feasts of the Lord.
Key Words: “Sanctified”; “Holiness.”
The Levites and, more specifically, the priests are set aside for service, or “sanctified,” to live as examples of “holiness” before all the people in all that they do.
Themes: • Sin is always detestable in God’s sight. • God’s plan is that all sin must be atoned for by the offering of sacrificial blood (as fulfilled in Christ’s atonement). • God is holy, and He requires our holiness and dedication. • God is not the author of confusion, but of orderliness in worship. • We keep God’s laws not to become acceptable to Him, but as an expression of our love for and trust in Him. • Faithfulness to God’s Word allows His peace and presence to fill our lives.
