The original name, like several books, was the first Hebrew word.  In Leviticus "And He Called" was the original title.  Leviticus means 'pertaining to the Levites' and actually comes from the Latin Vulgate version of Greek OT.  However, the book isn't just for the priests of Levite; it's speaking of the system of the laws as they are administered by the Levitical Priesthood.  The law was given to Moses on Mt Sinai and then clarified and explained in the wilderness and in preparation to enter the promised land.  The Lord gave Moses the pattern of the tabernacle and the community was moved to build it together.  The book of Exodus ends with the completion of the tabernacle, the preparation and consecration of the tabernacle and priests and then the cloud of the Lord covered it and filled it.  The book of Leviticus continues where the book of Exodus leaves off.  Exodus occurred in 1445BC The tabernacle was finished one year later. Leviticus begins at the completion of the tabernacle. The book of Numbers begins about a month or so later.  http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com The Burnt Offering http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=254472&view=post&blogid=10517 Fri, 11 Mar 2022 00:00:00 -0400 The Grain Offering http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=254473&view=post&blogid=10517 Fri, 11 Mar 2022 00:00:00 -0400 The Peace Offering http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=254474&view=post&blogid=10517 Fri, 11 Mar 2022 00:00:00 -0400 The Sin Offering http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=256383&view=post&blogid=10517 Fri, 15 Apr 2022 00:00:00 -0400 The Trespass OfferingOfferings without Restitution http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=256385&view=post&blogid=10517 Fri, 15 Apr 2022 00:00:00 -0400 Sin Offering cont'dThe Law of Burnt OfferingThe Law of the Grain OfferingThe Law of the Sin Offering http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=256384&view=post&blogid=10517 Fri, 15 Apr 2022 00:00:00 -0400 The Law of Trespass OfferingThe Law of Peace OfferingFat and Blood May Not Be EatenThe Portion of Aaron and His Sons http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=256386&view=post&blogid=10517 Fri, 15 Apr 2022 00:00:00 -0400 Aaron and His Sons Consecrated http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=261021&view=post&blogid=10517 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400 The Priestly Ministry Begins http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=261022&view=post&blogid=10517 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400 Profane Fire From Nadab and Abihu http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=261023&view=post&blogid=10517 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400 Foods Permitted and Forbidden http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=261024&view=post&blogid=10517 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400 The Ritual After Childbirth http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=261025&view=post&blogid=10517 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400 The Law Concerning Leprosy http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=261026&view=post&blogid=10517 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400 The Law Concerning Leprous Garments http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=261027&view=post&blogid=10517 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400 The Law Concerning Bodily Discharges http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=261028&view=post&blogid=10517 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400 The Day of Atonement http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=261029&view=post&blogid=10517 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400 The Sanctity of Blood http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=261030&view=post&blogid=10517 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400 Laws of Sexual Immorality http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=261031&view=post&blogid=10517 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400 Moral and Ceremonial Law http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=261032&view=post&blogid=10517 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400 Penalties for Breaking the Law http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=262483&view=post&blogid=10517 Tue, 30 Aug 2022 00:00:00 -0400 Regulations for Conduct of Priests http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=262484&view=post&blogid=10517 Tue, 30 Aug 2022 00:00:00 -0400 Regulations for Conduct of PriestsOfferings Accepted and Not Accepted http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=262485&view=post&blogid=10517 Tue, 30 Aug 2022 00:00:00 -0400 Feasts of the LordThe SabbathThe Passover and Unleavened BreadThe Feasts of FirstfruitsThe Feasts of WeeksThe Feast of TrumpetsThe Day of AtonementThe Feast of Tabernacles http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=262486&view=post&blogid=10517 Tue, 30 Aug 2022 00:00:00 -0400 Care of the Tabernacle LampsThe Penalty for Blasphemy http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=262499&view=post&blogid=10517 Tue, 30 Aug 2022 00:00:00 -0400 The Sabbath and the Seventh YearThe Year of JubileeProvisions for the Seventh YearThe Redemption of PropertyThe Law Concerning Slavery http://www.calvarychapelsweetwater.com/apps/articles/?articleid=262500&view=post&blogid=10517 Tue, 30 Aug 2022 00:00:00 -0400
