Leviticus - In 5 Minutes: A 5 Minute Bible Study Through Each Chapter of Leviticus

Welcome to the 2BeLikeChrist Bible study series. This series intends to summarize each chapter of the Bible and help readers understand God’s story piece by piece. This is the third book of the series, the book of Leviticus.

The book is essentially an instruction manual, written to the Israelites, to help them understand what they needed to do to have a good relationship with God. Leviticus discusses topics like animal sacrifices, the priesthood, proper worship, dietary restrictions, special feast days, and much more. God thought it was important for these instructions to be documented, because they would need to be taught to future generations, and He intended for them to become part of Israel’s unique national identity.

Leviticus is a challenging book to read, but working through it diligently will reward the reader with a greater comprehension of the Old and New Testament story. As you study Moses’ third book, keep in mind that many of the themes you read about will reappear later in the Bible. The better you understand Leviticus, the easier it will be to understand the rest of the story.
