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.
God provides lengthy and detailed laws for diagnosing and isolating those afflicted with skin diseases (often mistranslated as leprosy) and how priests must examine them for quarantine.
God outlines the elaborate and two-stage process for the cleansing of a healed leper, involving birds, cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop, followed by bathing and specific sacrifices.
God details laws concerning various bodily discharges (such as menstrual issues or infections), emphasizing that anything touched by the unclean person or item is also considered defiled.
God institutes the solemn ceremony of the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). Aaron enters the Holy of Holies only on this day to atone for all the sins of the nation.
