Biblical Studies

Quarter #1 – Lesson #3

Leviticus

 

I. INTRODUCTION

Leviticus means “about or relating to the Levites” and gets its name from the Levites, which provided assistants to the priests in worship in the Jewish temple. The Levites were all those belonging to the tribe of Levi, one of the 12 tribes of Israel. Their roles consisted of taking care of the tabernacle (temple), teaching, recording manuscripts, music, officials and judges (1 Chronicles 23). The entire book of Leviticus contains the majority of Hebrew law instituted by God, articulated by Moses and administered through the Levitical priesthood. The tribe of Levi was the only tribe that did not inherit their own land when Israel conquered Canaan. They were instead spread throughout the land to govern the spiritual ____________of Israel (Numbers 35:7; Joshua 21:19). Since they did not receive any land or inheritance, they were not required to support themselves; they were instead supported through the tithes presented by the rest of Israel.

THE CENTRAL MESSAGE

The central message in the book of Leviticus is that God, who is holy, requires his people to be holy. It shows that God graciously provides a means of atonement for sin through the sacrificial shedding of blood. Leviticus demonstrates the ______________ of a holy nation under the leadership of a holy God. “I am the Lord, who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy”. Lev. 11:45
