Pentateuch
Leviticus
Moses · c. 1446–1406 BC · 27 chapters
Theological Summary
Leviticus is the manual of holiness for a covenant people, detailing sacrifices, priesthood, purity, and the festal calendar. Its central message: 'Be holy, for I am holy' (Lev 11:44). The sacrificial system reveals the seriousness of sin, the necessity of substitution, and the cost of fellowship with a holy God. Every offering anticipates the once-for-all sacrifice of Christ (Heb 10), and the high priesthood foreshadows Jesus' perfect mediation.
