Title: Leviticus


1
Leviticus
  • The book of sacrificial and ritual laws

2
  • Leviticus was named after the Levites, the
    priests.
  • The book is attributed to the Priestly writer.
  • The author is trying to answer the question, How
    can Israel survive as a people believing in one
    God while living in a foreign culture whose
    people worship other gods?

3
  • The writer wants the Jews to see there worship in
    the Temple related to their life in community.
  • The Covenant with God was meant to frame the
    whole of life
  • If someone goes to Church on Sunday and keeps the
    rules but shows little no concern for justice and
    peace, would you consider that person a good
    Christian?

4
  • The book encourages the reader to honesty,
    reverence, respect, compassion, and generosity
  • These are virtues we need today

5
  • These laws served to teach the Israelites to stay
    pure and maintain their intimate union with God
  • You shall be holy, because I, the Lord, am holy.

6
Sacrifice in the Old Testament
  • Proper sacrifice
  • Incredible detail on ritual correctness
  • Your heart must be in it, but you NEED to perform
    the sacrifice CORRECTLY

7
What Was The Sacrifice For?
  • Forgiveness
  • Gratitude to God
  • To provide food for the people.
  • This also underscores the seriousness of taking
    animal life for food-its done for a purpose
  • Animals used
  • Bulls, Cows, Calves
  • Sheep, Lambs, Goats, Kids
  • Bird, Dove, Pigeon

Leviticus 1
  • Holocaust from Geek meaning wholly burned
  • The entire animal was burned (except the hide)
  • The purpose-a complete gift to God

Burnt Offering

  • Young bull,1 yr. old lamb, bird, dove, pigeon
  • Roasted entirely-the smell goes up to God

    seasoned w/ salt.

Leviticus 3 Peace Offering
  • This offering was showing desire for peace and
    fellowship with God

12
Leviticus 4 Sin Offering
  • The Sin Offering was payment for unintentional
    sins
  • An individuals status was very important
  • The higher the statue, the bigger the offering
  • Ones intentions determined the sacrifice

13
The Atonement of Jesus
  • Once a year, on the day of Atonement (Yom
    Kippur) the High Priest enters the holy of holies
    and offers a sacrifice of a bull representing
    himself and his tribe, and a goat representing
    the Israelite people.
  • So why is Jesus called the true Hight Priest?

14

    against a fellow Israelite-or God
