We kicked off our fall Bible study series on Monday with a discussion of the historical backdrop and structure of the Book of Leviticus and its impact on modern Judeo-Christian society.

We will continue on Monday, September 19th at 7:30pm Eastern with a study of Chapters 1-4.

Notes for your reading:

How many times does it say “God spoke to…”? (I counted and found 35 instances across the entire 27 chapters.)
As you find all the “God spoke to” instances for yourself, ask yourself, who God is speaking to?
Why do you think the authors of Leviticus used “God spoke to” so many times?

Here’s an outline of all 27 chapters:

1-7: Offerings
8-10: Specific instructions to the priests
11-15: Instructions to the people
16: How to set up the altar for atonement
17-22: Practical holiness
23-25: Sabbath, seasons, festivals, feasts
26-27: The conditions to follow to get God’s blessing

We’re planning to study Leviticus in the following order:

September 19: Chapters 1-4
September 26: Chapters 5-7
October 3: Chapters 8-10
October 10: Chapters 11-15
October 17: Chapters 16
October 24: Chapters 17-22
November 7: Chapters 23-25
November 14: Chapters 26-27
