I found Leviticus a very loving book and a quick read. its mostly God's instructions to the Levites along with only two historical accounts. what I received from the book as a whole is God's loving care for the details of our lives and the amazing scientific methods of healthcare written over 3,000 years ago.
I sped thru the first several chapters which deal with offerings. next came the instructions for consecrating the priests and the account of Nadab and Abihu's violent deaths. this section of Scripture gave me the seriousness God places on the ministry. it isn't something to be taken lightly for sure.
the following several chapters deal with the Divine healthcode, which I found fascinating. it spoke volumes to me on God's care for us. the remaining chapters outline moral, civil, and ceremonial code. there were various verses that blessed me but nothing overwhelming.
I did notice chapter 27 has instructions for people and property vowed to God, which reminded me of Jephthah. if only he had studied Leviticus he would have known better than to offer his daughter as a sacrifice. he is a grave example of diluting God's word with pagan practice and the responsibility leaders have to go by the Book and only the Book.
