Chapters
Leviticus 5: Confessing and Making Things Right
God explains sins such as keeping quiet as a witness, touching something unclean, or making a careless promise. The person must confess, and those too poor for a lamb may bring birds or flour. The trespass offering is for wrongs against holy things.
Leviticus 6: The Fire That Never Goes Out
God teaches how to make things right after cheating a neighbor, then gives instructions to the priests: the fire on the altar must keep burning and never go out. The chapter also covers the grain and sin offerings eaten by the priests.
Leviticus 7: Thank Offerings and the Priests' Share
God gives more rules for the trespass offering and the peace offering, including the thanksgiving offering with bread. The meat must be eaten quickly, fat and blood must not be eaten, and the breast and right thigh are given to the priests.
Leviticus 8: Aaron and His Sons Become Priests
Moses gathers the people and ordains Aaron and his sons as priests. He washes them, dresses Aaron in the holy garments, anoints the tabernacle and Aaron with oil, and offers sacrifices. They stay at the Tent of Meeting seven days and do all that the Lord commanded.
Leviticus 10: Nadab and Abihu
Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu offer strange fire that God had not commanded, and fire from the Lord consumes them. God says He will be shown holy by those who come near Him. The priests are told not to drink wine when serving, and to teach the difference between holy and common.
Leviticus 13: The Priest Examines the Skin
God gives the priests rules for checking skin diseases, often translated leprosy. The priest looks carefully, may wait seven days, and declares the person clean or unclean. A person with the disease lives outside the camp. Garments with mildew are also examined.
Leviticus 14: Welcomed Back Home
When a person's skin disease is healed, the priest goes out to him. Using two birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop, the priest declares him clean, and one live bird flies free. After washing and offerings, the person is welcomed back. Houses with mildew are also cleansed.
Leviticus 16: The Day of Atonement
Once a year, on the Day of Atonement, the high priest enters the Most Holy Place. He offers a bull for himself and a goat for the people, sprinkling blood on the mercy seat. A second goat, the scapegoat, carries the people's sins away into the wilderness. All Israel is cleansed from their sins before Yahweh.
Leviticus 17: Life Is in the Blood
God tells Israel to bring every sacrifice to the door of the Tent of Meeting and not to offer sacrifices to goat idols. They must not eat blood, because the life of the flesh is in the blood, and God has given it on the altar to make atonement.
Leviticus 19: Be Holy, Love Your Neighbor
God calls Israel to be holy because He is holy. He gives laws touching every part of life: honoring parents, keeping Sabbaths, leaving gleanings for the poor, honesty, fairness to the deaf and blind, respect for the elderly, love for the foreigner, and just weights. At the center is the command to love your neighbor as yourself.
Leviticus 20: Set Apart to Be Mine
God warns Israel against worshiping Molech, turning to mediums, and committing serious sins against family and marriage, and He gives penalties for them. He calls them to sanctify themselves and be holy, for He has set them apart from the peoples to be His own.
Leviticus 21: Holy Priests
God gives special rules for the priests, Aaron's sons, because they offer the bread of God. They must keep themselves from defilement, marry carefully, and be holy. The high priest has even stricter rules. A priest with a physical defect may not offer at the altar, but he may still eat the holy food.
Leviticus 22: Holy Gifts, Best Gifts
Priests must treat the holy offerings with respect and eat them only when clean. Only the priest's household may eat the holy food. Offerings must be without defect, because a blemished offering will not be accepted. God says to keep His commandments, for He is Yahweh who makes them holy.
Leviticus 23: God's Appointed Feasts
God gives Israel a calendar of holy times: the weekly Sabbath, Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Firstfruits, the Feast of Weeks fifty days later, the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Booths, when Israel lived in shelters to remember the wilderness.
Leviticus 24: The Lamp, the Bread, and God's Name
Israel brings pure olive oil to keep the lamps burning continually before Yahweh, and twelve loaves are set on the golden table each Sabbath. A man who blasphemes God's name is brought to Moses, and God commands that he be stoned. God gives one law for the native and the foreigner alike.
Leviticus 25: Sabbath Years and Jubilee
Every seventh year the land rests. Every fiftieth year is the Year of Jubilee: liberty is proclaimed, land returns to its families, and those who sold themselves through poverty go free. God says the land is His, and His people must not oppress one another but help the poor.
Leviticus 26: Blessings and Warnings
God promises blessings if Israel walks in His statutes: rain, harvest, peace, and His presence among them. He warns of increasing discipline if they reject Him, even exile. Yet if they confess their sin, God will remember His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Leviticus 27: Vows and Tithes
God gives rules for people who make special vows to dedicate a person, animal, house, or field to Him, and how they may be redeemed by paying a set value plus a fifth. The tithe of the land and the flocks is holy to Yahweh. These are the commandments God gave Moses on Mount Sinai.
