Leviticus
Leviticus is primarily a book of divine law and instructions for worship, written primarily for the priests and the Levite tribe. It details the sacred and practical ways in which the Israelites were to live as a holy people set apart by God. The book heavily focuses on the requirements for various sacrifices, which were necessary for the atonement of sins, and the proper procedures for festivals and religious rituals. A major theme is the concept of holiness, emphasizing that God is holy and His people must strive for holiness in their lives, both in their worship and their ethical conduct.
On the eighth day, Aaron performs his first official act as High Priest, offering sacrifices for himself and the people. The glory of the Lord appears, and fire consumes the offering.
Nadab and Abihu, two of Aaron's sons, offer unauthorized (strange) fire before the Lord. God consumes them with fire, demonstrating the severe holiness and consequences of disobedience.
God details the laws of clean and unclean animals for consumption, listing animals, birds, and sea creatures that are permissible (kosher) and those that are forbidden.
God establishes the laws concerning a woman after childbirth, requiring a period of ceremonial uncleanness followed by a burnt offering and a sin offering for her purification.
