Many skip over this book since there are many passages referring to duties of Levite priests. But many Christians see much here as foreshadowing Jesus. Some questions for you here:
- How can it be comforting to be part of a ritual system like the one described here?
- Where are social responsibilities stressed?
- Does this sacrificial system seem to be a means of buying favor with God?
- Chapters 1-7 we see much about unintentional sin, guilt, and restitution. How similar/different are these ideas to ours today?
- A lot in Leviticus focuses on spiritual holiness symbolized by physical perfection. Where do you see this? What leftovers of this view are seen today?
