March 9, 2022 — Better Than That?
To the believing Jew, what could be better than a sleek bull from Bashan offered to God? Those who admire fancy words sometimes call this system of sacrifices and priesthood sacerdotal. However, the word can be misleading. It comes from two Latin words meaning “priest” and “make holy.” However, contrary to the teachings of the […]
March 8, 2022 — All For God
It shouldn’t be a surprise that the first offering mentioned is all for God. He deserves it! Let’s think about the burnt offering in Leviticus chapter 1. Here are verses 3 and 4: “If his offering is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it of […]
March 7, 2022 — Animals That Speak Of Him
Generally, there are both practical and spiritual reasons for the choices that God makes. God, contrary to the opinions of unbelievers, is fair and reasonable. There would be both rich and poor among the children of Israel, and the Lord wanted everyone to be able to make offerings. So He laid out for them the […]
March 4, 2022 — The Secret Of The Double Transfer
As we read, we must remember that all Scripture is not only “inspired” but also “profitable.” As we begin our verse-by-verse study, we must carefully notice the different kinds of offerings listed in the first seven chapters of Leviticus.

March 2, 2022 — A Hematology Lesson: Seeing Red
You might call it liquid history; as it pulses through the body, it is the arbiter of life and death. What do a bull, a goat, a lamb, a dove, a human, and the Son of God have in common? Blood! So you should be warned: in the book of Leviticus, there is blood everywhere; […]

March 1, 2022 — An Architecture Lesson: God Takes Up Residence
Certainly this must be one of the great days in history, the day God moves into His new home. Leviticus 1:1 reads, “Now the Lord called to Moses, and spoke to him from the tabernacle of meeting.” Three vital facts stand out. First, this is a book from God. More than 50 times in these […]

February 28, 2022 — An Historical Lesson: Welcome To Leviticus!
This third book might be first in the number of its portraits of Christ in the Old Testament. Each book of the Bible—in fact, the Bible itself—was not given a title by its author. Bible is simply an English form of the Greek word for “book.” And the Hebrew readers of Leviticus distinguished it by […]
