Laws for Offerings

  • Offerings in Leviticus 1-7 all involve animal sacrifices. These sacrifices covered sins temporarily, unlike Jesus' perfect sacrifice. Bloodshed is necessary for atonement because blood represents life and sin is death.

  • Dietary laws detailed clean and unclean animals (cloven hooves, chew cud, scales, and fins), birds, and insects. Cleanliness was an essential part of their lives.
  • Childbirth rules stated uncleanness periods (30 days for boys, 60 days for girls) and required sacrifices (lamb, pigeons, or turtledoves).
  • Leprosy rules detailed priestly examination, isolation (7 days initially), and specific actions for the afflicted and their homes.

The Day of Atonement to the Holiness of Priests

  • Unintentional sin laws were established, including sacrifices (goat for individual unintentional sin, offering for the whole community).
  • Sabbath breaking was a punishable offense (stoning to death).
  • Korah, Dathan, and Abiram's rebellion led to their deaths.
  • Holy water was created through a specific sacrifice; it was used for cleansing the unclean.
  • Moses and Aaron's failure to give God glory at the waters of Meribah resulted in God's anger.
  • Aaron's death and the succession of Eleazar occurred.

The Bronze Serpent to More Laws Regarding Vows

  • Israelite actions at Arad, including their desire to destroy cities, led to God's judgment.
  • The bronze serpent on a pole was used to save people bitten by serpents.
