In today’s Bible Study, we are going to study:
The book of Leviticus
CIRCA 538-332 B.C.
Author: Moses
The Book of Leviticus is the third book of the (the Pentateuch)
And of the Old Testament, it is also known as the third book of
Moses.
Scholars generally agree that it developed over a long period of
time, reaching its present form during the ( Persian Period )
Between 538-332 B.C.
Leviticus, (Latin: “of the Levites”), Hebrew Wayiqraʾ, third book of the Latin Vulgate Bible, the name of which designates its contents as a book (or manual) primarily concerned with priests (members of the priestly tribe of Levi) and their duties.
Leviticus Verses 1-2
Observe here,
The very light of nature directs man, some way or other, to do honor to his Maker, and pay him homage as his Lord.
Revealed religion supposes natural religion to be an ancient and early institution, since the fall had directed men to glorify God by sacrifice, which was an implicit acknowledgment of their having received all from God as creatures, and their having forfeited all to him as sinners.
A conscience thoroughly convinced of dependence and guilt would be willing to come before God with thousands of rams, Mic. 6:6, Mic. 6:7 .
Provision is made that men should not indulge their own fancies, nor become vain in their imaginations and inventions about their sacrifices, lest, while they pretended to honor God, they should really dishonor him, and do that which was unworthy of him.
Everything therefore is directed to be done with due decorum, by a certain rule, and so as that the sacrifices might be most significant both of the great sacrifice of atonement which Christ was to offer in the fullness of time and of the spiritual sacrifices of acknowledgment which believers should offer daily.
God gave those laws to Israel by Moses;
nothing is more frequently repeated than this, The Lord spoke unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel.
God could have spoken it to the children of Israel himself, as he did the ten commandments; but he chose to deliver it to them by Moses, because they had desired he would no more speak to them himself, and he had designed that Moses should, above all the prophets, be a type of Christ, by whom God would in these last days speak to us, Heb. 1:2 .
By other prophets God sent messages to his people, but by Moses he gave them laws; and therefore he was fit to typify him to whom the Father has given all judgment.
Leviticus Verses 3-9
If a man were rich and could afford it, it is supposed that he would bring his burnt-sacrifice, with which he designed to honor God, out of his herd of larger cattle.
He that considers that God is the best that is will resolve to give him the best he has, else he gives him not the glory due unto his name.
