LEVITICUS

LEVITICUS:
The Levites, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, were priests and those associated with the priests. This book is largely about the laws and rules governing all of Israel under the direction of the Levites. These laws and rules were mostly given on Mt. Sinai and were enlarged upon during the forty years of wandering in the wilderness.

The first several chapters are devoted to the various kinds and types of offerings made to The LORD and to the directions regarding how these offerings were to me made. Aaron, the brother of Moses, and his sons were consecrated as priests. Two of the sons of Aaron are killed by The LORD because they did not follow directions.

The remainder of Leviticus is devoted to further laws, rules, customs, regulations, and practices.

As you know, this is a highly condensed writing.
