The Next Testament

Leviticus

Old Testament · 14 sections · scripture: Berean Standard Bible

After the glory fills the tent at the end of Exodus, a problem arises that the whole of Leviticus exists to answer: now that a holy God has moved into the middle of the camp, how can an ordinary, failing, mortal people live next door to that presence and not be undone by it? Exodus gets God into the neighborhood. Leviticus is about how the neighborhood survives the gift.
