About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from The Old Testament: Its Intent and Content, Including the Apocrypha

The book of Leviticus continues the list of laws and ordinances which God instructs Moses to give to the people? And to Aaron, the high priest. Such laws are far too numerous to discuss in detail. They include a variety of subjects such as vows, obedience, servants, feasts, the year of Jubilee, leprosy, the day of atone ment, the tithe, etc. In future generations, these laws are to be vigorously upheld by the strict Hebrew prophets and priests.
