Leviticus 19 · Grade 5

Holiness Touches Everything

Name Date

Read and Think

Leviticus 19 is sometimes called the holiness code in miniature. God tells all the congregation, not only the priests, You shall be holy; for I, Yahweh your God, am holy. Many laws end with the words I am Yahweh, reminding Israel that their conduct reflected God's own character.

The commands are wide-ranging. Honor mother and father. Keep the Sabbath. Leave gleanings for the poor and the foreigner. Do not steal, lie, or deceive. Pay the hired worker before morning. Do not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block before the blind. Judge with justice. Do not slander. Rise before the elderly. Keep just balances and weights.

Two commands about love stand out. Verse 18: love your neighbor as yourself. Verse 34: the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you shall be to you as the native-born, and you shall love him as yourself, because you lived as foreigners in Egypt. Jesus named love of neighbor as the second great commandment, and Paul wrote that love is the fulfillment of the law (Romans 13:10). The holy God wanted a holy people marked by love.
