Diving Deeper into the Bible–Leviticus

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:

  1. How can it be comforting to be part of a ritual system like the one described here?
  2. Where are social responsibilities stressed?
  3. Does this sacrificial system seem to be a means of buying favor with God?
  4. Chapters 1-7 we see much about unintentional sin, guilt, and restitution. How similar/different are these ideas to ours today?
  5. 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?
