Leviticus 25-27, pt. 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Leviticus 25-27, pt. 2 The topic of chs. 25-27 can be thought of as “holiness in the land.” Israel has been camped at Mt. Sinai for about a year and it is almost time to march out. When they move into the land of promise, settle there, and build houses and have land to farm, what does it look like to live as God’s holy people then and there? That is the big theme of these chapters. In this recording, we survey chapters 26-27. Leviticus 26 records the blessings for keeping the covenant and the cu

Leviticus 25-27, pt. 1 The topic of chs. 25-27 can be thought of as “holiness in the land.” Israel has been camped at Mt. Sinai for about a year and it's almost time to march out. When they move into the land of promise, settle there, and build houses and have land to farm, what does it look like to live as God’s holy people then and there? That is the big theme of these chapters. In this recording, we consider Leviticus 25, which deals with how to treat the land, workers, and deal with debt (th
Leviticus 23-24 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Leviticus 23-24 Leviticus 23-24 continues the theme of ritual holiness. We have to be careful not to think of this as “mere rituals that don’t really matter.” Our modern instinctive dislike of rituals in the West prompts us to think like that. But the rituals and instructions of Leviticus 23-24 matter for Israel's overall life as a people distinct and different from the nations -- as God’s holy people, a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. So in the whole section of Leviticus 21-24 the main qu
Leviticus 21-22 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Leviticus 21-22 Leviticus 21-22 provided special instructions for the priests. Leviticus 18-20 were addressed to the entire congregation of Israel and dealt mostly with holiness in everyday life. Since Israel as a whole is set apart for the Lord (=holy) to be a holy nation, chapters 18-20 detailed some of the ways they had to be distinct and different from the nations personally, socially, and ritually. But here in Leviticus 21-22 we shift to the priests. Since they are set apart as a special ho
Special Study: How Do the Laws of Leviticus Apply Today? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Special Study: How Do the Laws of Leviticus (and the rest of the Torah) Apply Today? Some of the Laws of the Torah seem easy to apply. For example, love your neighbor as yourself is found in Leviticus 19:18. Others feel foreign. The very next verse tells us not to wear a garment woven of two kinds of fabric (Leviticus 19:19). There are plenty of laws that seem strange or even impossible to keep in modern culture. So how do such laws apply today? In this special study we show why one common appro
