Leviticus
Leviticus is the third book of the five books of the law. Moses again
stands as the primary author of Leviticus. Leviticus has 27 chapters
and two main divisions. Chapters 1-10 focus on the sacrificial
worship of God. Chapters 11-27 focus on living a set apart life before
God. Hill and Walton commented on the purpose of Leviticus saying,
“ The purpose of Leviticus is to provide a manual or Hebrew
handbook on holiness designed to instruct the Hebrew community in holy worship and holy living so
that they might imitate God’s holiness and enjoy the presence and blessing of God.”
