Biblical Concept: Leviticus
Conclusion Verses
Findings:
Consider
the Tabernacle / Temple worship system with the Millennial Temple worship
system. Both eras are radical in their
religious obligations. Both eras were
the start of a radical change in the methodology of Divine worship. Both eras radically demonstrate the inability
of human religion to approach God’s holy and righteous standards. The Tabernacle / Temple era setup a stark
contrast with the various pantheism of local nations. The Millennial Temple era will set up a stark
contrast to the Antichrist religion that will sweep the world during the time
of the Great Tribulation. Both Divinely
instituted eras radically demonstrate the holy and righteous standards of The
Triune God of the Bible.
To
go from the rigorous Tabernacle / Temple worship system to God permanently
dwelling in the Christ-Believer is radical.
Careless approach of the veiled mercy seat of the Arc of Covenant
resulted in physical death--radical.
Christ-Believers have God dwelling in them--radical.
‘God’s religious rules not
man’s.’ This is a key conclusion from
Leviticus. Almost every verse in
Leviticus could have this as a verse title.
Leviticus 11:45 'For
I am the LORD, who brought you up from the land of Egypt, to be your God; thus
you shall be holy for I am holy.'" (Nation Israel was and is to be a
demonstration of God’s’ holiness.)
Leviticus 20:26 26
'Thus you are to be holy to Me, for I the LORD am holy; and I have set you
apart from the peoples to be Mine. (Nation Israel was and is to be a
demonstration of God’s’ holiness.)

Leviticus 1:3-4 3 'If
his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer it, a male
without defect; he shall offer it at the doorway of the tent of meeting, that
he may be accepted before the LORD. 4
'And he shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, that it may be
accepted for him to make atonement on his behalf.
Leviticus 4:1-3 1 Then
the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2
"Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'If a person sins unintentionally in
any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and commits any
of them, 3 if the anointed
priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer to the LORD
a bull without defect as a sin offering for the sin he has committed.
Leviticus 4:13-20 13
'Now if the whole congregation of Israel commits error, and the matter escapes
the notice of the assembly, and they commit any of the things which the LORD
has commanded not to be done, and they become guilty; 14 when the sin which they have
committed becomes known, then the assembly shall offer a bull of the herd for a
sin offering, and bring it before the tent of meeting. 15 'Then the elders of the
congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the LORD, and
the bull shall be slain before the LORD.
16 'Then the anointed priest is to bring some of the blood of
the bull to the tent of meeting; 17
and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, in front
of the veil. 18 'And he shall
put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before the LORD in the
tent of meeting; and all the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar
of burnt offering which is at the doorway of the tent of meeting. 19 'And he shall remove all its
fat from it and offer it up in smoke on the altar. 20 'He shall also do with the bull
just as he did with the bull of the sin offering; thus he shall do with it. So
the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.
Leviticus 6:24-25 24 Then
the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 25
"Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, 'This is the law of the sin
offering: in the place where the burnt offering is slain the sin offering shall
be slain before the LORD; it is most holy.
Leviticus 7:37-38 37 This
is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering and the sin offering and
the guilt offering and the ordination offering and the sacrifice of peace
offerings, 38 which the LORD
commanded Moses at Mount Sinai in the day that He commanded the sons of Israel
to present their offerings to the LORD in the wilderness of Sinai.
Leviticus 9:3-6 3
"Then to the sons of Israel you shall speak, saying, 'Take a male goat for
a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both one year old, without defect, for a
burnt offering, 4 and an ox
and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD, and a grain
offering mixed with oil; for today the LORD shall appear to you.'" 5 So they took what Moses had
commanded to the front of the tent of meeting, and the whole congregation came
near and stood before the LORD. 6
And Moses said, "This is the thing which the LORD has commanded you to do,
that the glory of the LORD may appear to you."
Leviticus 9:23-24 23 And
Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting. When they came out and blessed
the people, the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people. 24 Then fire came out from before
the LORD and consumed the burnt offering and the portions of fat on the altar;
and when all the people saw it, they
shouted and fell on their faces.
Leviticus 10:1-3 1 Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of
Aaron, took their respective firepans, and after
putting fire in them, placed incense on it and offered strange fire before the
LORD, which He had not commanded them. 2
And fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they
died before the LORD. 3 Then
Moses said to Aaron, "It is what the LORD spoke, saying, 'By those who
come near Me I will be treated as holy, And before all the people I will be
honored.'" So Aaron, therefore, kept silent. (God’s religious rules not
man’s.)
Leviticus 10:8-11 8 The
LORD then spoke to Aaron, saying, 9
"Do not drink wine or strong drink, neither you nor your sons with you,
when you come into the tent of meeting, so that you may not die-- it is a perpetual
statute throughout your generations-- 10
and so as to make a distinction between the holy and the profane, and between
the unclean and the clean, 11
and so as to teach the sons of Israel all the statutes which the LORD has
spoken to them through Moses." (God’s religious rules not man’s.)
Leviticus 11:44-47 44
'For I am the LORD your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy; for
I am holy. And you shall not make yourselves unclean with any of the swarming
things that swarm on the earth. 45
'For I am the LORD, who brought you up from the land of Egypt, to be your God;
thus you shall be holy for I am holy.'"
46 This is the law regarding the animal, and the bird, and
every living thing that moves in the waters, and everything that swarms on the
earth, 47 to make a
distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the edible creature
and the creature which is not to be eaten. (God’s religious rules not man’s.)
Leviticus 14:54-57 54
This is the law for any mark of leprosy-- even for a scale, 55 and for the leprous garment or
house, 56 and for a swelling,
and for a scab, and for a bright spot-- 57
to teach when they are unclean, and when they are clean. This is the law of
leprosy.
Leviticus 15:31-33 31
"Thus you shall keep the sons of Israel separated from their uncleanness,
lest they die in their uncleanness by their defiling My tabernacle that is
among them." 32 This is
the law for the one with a discharge, and for the man who has a seminal
emission so that he is unclean by it, 33
and for the woman who is ill because of menstrual impurity, and for the one who
has a discharge, whether a male or a female, or a man who lies with an unclean
woman.
Leviticus 16:1-2 1 Now
the LORD spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they had
approached the presence of the LORD and died.
2 And the LORD said to Moses, "Tell your brother Aaron
that he shall not enter at any time into the holy place inside the veil, before
the mercy seat which is on the ark, lest he die; for I will appear in the cloud
over the mercy seat. (God’s religious rules not man’s.)
Leviticus 16:16 16
"And he shall make atonement for the holy place, because of the impurities
of the sons of Israel, and because of their transgressions, in regard to all
their sins; and thus he shall do for the tent of meeting which abides with them
in the midst of their impurities.
Leviticus 16:29-34 29
"And this shall be a permanent
statute for you: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall
humble your souls, and not do any work, whether the native, or the alien who
sojourns among you; 30 for it
is on this day that atonement shall be made for you to cleanse you; you shall
be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
31 "It is to be a sabbath of
solemn rest for you, that you may humble your souls; it is a permanent
statute. 32 "So the
priest who is anointed and ordained to serve as priest in his father's place
shall make atonement: he shall thus put on the linen garments, the holy
garments, 33 and make
atonement for the holy sanctuary; and he shall make atonement for the tent of
meeting and for the altar. He shall also make atonement for the priests and for
all the people of the assembly. 34
"Now you shall have this as a permanent statute, to make atonement for the
sons of Israel for all their sins once every year." And just as the LORD
had commanded Moses, so he did.
Leviticus 17:1-7 1 Then
the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2
"Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, and say to
them, 'This is what the LORD has commanded, saying, 3 "Any man from the house of
Israel who slaughters an ox, or a lamb, or a goat in the camp, or who
slaughters it outside the camp, 4
and has not brought it to the doorway of the tent of meeting to present it as an offering to the LORD before the
tabernacle of the LORD, bloodguiltiness is to be
reckoned to that man. He has shed blood and that man shall be cut off from
among his people. 5 "The
reason is so that the sons of Israel may bring their sacrifices which they were
sacrificing in the open field, that they may bring them in to the LORD, at the
doorway of the tent of meeting to the priest, and sacrifice them as sacrifices
of peace offerings to the LORD. 6
"And the priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of the LORD at the
doorway of the tent of meeting, and offer up the fat in smoke as a soothing
aroma to the LORD. 7
"And they shall no longer sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat demons
with which they play the harlot. This shall be a permanent statute to them
throughout their generations."' (God’s religious rules not man’s.)
Leviticus 18:1-5 1 Then
the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2
"Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'I am the LORD your
God. 3 'You shall not do what
is done in the land of Egypt where you lived, nor are you to do what is done in
the land of Canaan where I am bringing you; you shall not walk in their statutes. 4 'You are to perform My judgments
and keep My statutes, to live in accord with them; I am the LORD your God. 5 'So you shall keep My statutes
and My judgments, by which a man may live if he does them; I am the LORD.
(God’s religious rules not man’s.)
Leviticus 18:24-30 24 'Do
not defile yourselves by any of these things; for by all these the nations
which I am casting out before you have become defiled. 25 'For the land has become
defiled, therefore I have visited its punishment upon it, so the land has
spewed out its inhabitants. 26
'But as for you, you are to keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not do
any of these abominations, neither the
native, nor the alien who sojourns among you
27 (for the men of the land who have been before you have
done all these abominations, and the land has become defiled); 28 so that the land may not spew
you out, should you defile it, as it has spewed out the nation which has been
before you. 29 'For whoever
does any of these abominations, those persons who do so shall be cut off from among their people. 30 'Thus you are to keep My
charge, that you do not practice any of the abominable customs which have been
practiced before you, so as not to defile yourselves with them; I am the LORD
your God.'"
Leviticus 19:1-4 1 Then
the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2
"Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel and say to them, 'You
shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy.
3 'Every one of you shall reverence his mother and his
father, and you shall keep My sabbaths; I am the LORD
your God. 4 'Do not turn to
idols or make for yourselves molten gods; I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus 19:30 30
'You shall keep My sabbaths and revere My sanctuary;
I am the LORD.
Leviticus 19:36-37 36
'You shall have just balances, just weights, a just ephah,
and a just hin: I am the LORD your God, who brought
you out from the land of Egypt. 37
'You shall thus observe all My statutes, and all My ordinances, and do them: I
am the LORD.'"
Leviticus 20:1-5 1 Then
the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2
"You shall also say to the sons of Israel, 'Any man from the sons of
Israel or from the aliens sojourning in Israel, who gives any of his offspring
to Molech, shall surely be put to death; the people
of the land shall stone him with stones.
3 'I will also set My face against that man and will cut him
off from among his people, because he has given some of his offspring to Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary and to profane My holy
name. 4 'If the people of the
land, however, should ever disregard that man when he gives any of his
offspring to Molech, so as not to put him to
death, 5 then I Myself will
set My face against that man and against his family; and I will cut off from
among their people both him and all those who play the harlot after him, by playing
the harlot after Molech.
Leviticus 20:7-8 7 'You
shall consecrate yourselves therefore and be holy, for I am the LORD your
God. 8 'And you shall keep My
statutes and practice them; I am the LORD who sanctifies you. (Nation Israel
was and is to be a demonstration of God’s’ holiness.)
Leviticus 20:22-24 22 'You
are therefore to keep all My statutes and all My ordinances and do them, so
that the land to which I am bringing you to live will not spew you out. 23 'Moreover, you shall not follow
the customs of the nation which I shall drive out before you, for they did all
these things, and therefore I have abhorred them. 24 'Hence I have said to you,
"You are to possess their land, and I Myself will give it to you to
possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey." I am the LORD your God,
who has separated you from the peoples. (Nation Israel was and is to be a
demonstration of God’s’ holiness.)
Leviticus 20:26 26
'Thus you are to be holy to Me, for I the LORD am holy; and I have set you
apart from the peoples to be Mine. (Nation Israel was and is to be a
demonstration of God’s’ holiness.)
Leviticus 21:5-8 5 'They
shall not make any baldness on their heads, nor shave off the edges of their
beards, nor make any cuts in their flesh.
6 'They shall be holy to their God and not profane the name
of their God, for they present the offerings by fire to the LORD, the bread of
their God; so they shall be holy. 7
'They shall not take a woman who is profaned by harlotry, nor shall they take a
woman divorced from her husband; for he is holy to his God. 8 'You shall consecrate him,
therefore, for he offers the bread of your God; he shall be holy to you; for I
the LORD, who sanctifies you, am holy. (God’s religious rules not man’s.)
Leviticus 22:9 9 'They
shall therefore keep My charge, so that they may not bear sin because of it,
and die thereby because they profane it; I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
Leviticus 23:1-8 1 The
LORD spoke again to Moses, saying, 2
"Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, 'The LORD's appointed times
which you shall proclaim as holy convocations-- My appointed times are
these: 3 'For six days work
may be done; but on the seventh day there is a sabbath
of complete rest, a holy convocation. You shall not do any work; it is a sabbath to the LORD in all your dwellings. 4 'These are the appointed times
of the LORD, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at the times appointed
for them. 5 'In the first
month, on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight is the LORD's
Passover. 6 'Then on the
fifteenth day of the same month there is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the
LORD; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. 7 'On the first day you shall have
a holy convocation; you shall not do any laborious work. 8 'But for seven days you shall
present an offering by fire to the LORD. On the seventh day is a holy
convocation; you shall not do any laborious work.'" (God’s religious rules
not man’s.)
Leviticus 23:23-28 23
Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 24
"Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'In the seventh month on the first
of the month, you shall have a rest, a reminder by blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.
25 'You shall not do any laborious work, but you shall
present an offering by fire to the LORD.'"
26 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 27 "On exactly the tenth day
of this seventh month is the day of atonement; it shall be a holy convocation
for you, and you shall humble your souls and present an offering by fire to the
LORD. 28 "Neither shall
you do any work on this same day, for it is a day of atonement, to make
atonement on your behalf before the LORD your God. (God’s religious rules not
man’s.)
Leviticus 23:34-44 34
"Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'On the fifteenth of this seventh
month is the Feast of Booths for seven days to the LORD. 35 'On the first day is a holy
convocation; you shall do no laborious work of any kind. 36 'For seven days you shall
present an offering by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day you shall have a
holy convocation and present an offering by fire to the LORD; it is an
assembly. You shall do no laborious work.
37 'These are the appointed times of the LORD which you shall
proclaim as holy convocations, to present offerings by fire to the LORD-- burnt
offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and libations, each day's matter on its own day--
38 besides those of the
sabbaths of the LORD, and besides your gifts, and
besides all your votive and freewill offerings, which you give to the
LORD. 39 'On exactly the
fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the crops of the
land, you shall celebrate the feast of the LORD for seven days, with a rest on
the first day and a rest on the eighth day.
40 'Now on the first day you shall take for yourselves the
foliage of beautiful trees, palm branches and boughs of leafy trees and willows
of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God for seven
days. 41 'You shall thus
celebrate it as a feast to the LORD
for seven days in the year. It shall be a
perpetual statute throughout your generations; you shall celebrate it in the
seventh month. 42 'You shall
live in booths for seven days; all the native-born in Israel shall live in
booths, 43 so that your
generations may know that I had the sons of Israel live in booths when I
brought them out from the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.'" 44 So Moses declared to the sons
of Israel the appointed times of the LORD. (God’s religious rules not man’s.)
Leviticus 24:11-16 11 And
the son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name and cursed. So they brought
him to Moses. (Now his mother's name was Shelomith,
the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.) 12 And they put him in custody so
that the command of the LORD might be made clear to them. 13 Then the LORD spoke to Moses,
saying, 14 "Bring the
one who has cursed outside the camp, and let all who heard him lay their hands
on his head; then let all the congregation stone him. 15 "And you shall speak to
the sons of Israel, saying, 'If anyone curses his God, then he shall bear his
sin. 16 'Moreover, the one
who blasphemes the name of the LORD shall surely be put to death; all the
congregation shall certainly stone him. The alien as well as the native, when
he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death. (God’s religious rules not
man’s.)
Leviticus 25:18-19 18 'You
shall thus observe My statutes, and keep My judgments, so as to carry them out,
that you may live securely on the land. 19
'Then the land will yield its produce, so that you can eat your fill and live
securely on it. (God’s religious rules not man’s.)
Leviticus 25:55 55 'For
the sons of Israel are My servants; they are My servants whom I brought out
from the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God. (Nation Israel was and is to be
a demonstration of God’s’ holiness.)
Leviticus 26:1-13 1 'You
shall not make for yourselves idols, nor shall you set up for yourselves an
image or a sacred pillar, nor shall
you place a figured stone in your land to bow down to it; for I am the LORD
your God. 2 'You shall keep
My sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary; I am the
LORD. 3 'If you walk in My
statutes and keep My commandments so as to carry them out, 4 then I shall give you rains in
their season, so that the land will yield its produce and the trees of the
field will bear their fruit. 5
'Indeed, your threshing will last for you until grape gathering, and grape
gathering will last until sowing time. You will thus eat your food to the full
and live securely in your land. 6
'I shall also grant peace in the land, so that you may lie down with no one
making you tremble. I shall also
eliminate harmful beasts from the land, and no sword will pass through your
land. 7 'But you will chase
your enemies, and they will fall before you by the sword; 8 five of you will chase a
hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will
fall before you by the sword. 9
'So I will turn toward you and make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will
confirm My covenant with you. 10
'And you will eat the old supply and clear out the old because of the new. 11 'Moreover, I will make My
dwelling among you, and My soul will not reject you. 12 'I will also walk among you and
be your God, and you shall be My people.
13 'I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land
of Egypt so that you should not be
their slaves, and I broke the bars of your yoke and made you walk erect. (God’s
religious rules not man’s.) (Nation Israel was and is to be a demonstration of
God’s’ holiness.)
Leviticus 26:44-46 44 'Yet
in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject
them, nor will I so abhor them as to destroy them, breaking My covenant with
them; for I am the LORD their God. 45
'But I will remember for them the covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought
out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their
God. I am the LORD.'" 46
These are the statutes and ordinances and laws which the LORD established
between Himself and the sons of Israel through Moses at Mount Sinai.
