Leviticus Chapter 19

THE TORAH

LEVITICUS

VAYIKRA

Leviticus (Vayikra in Hebrew), the third book in the Torah (First five books of Moses). Vayikra or Leviticus means “And G-d Called.”

Be enlightened in this book, that G-d is holy. Thus, requires him who comes or approaches G-d must be holy. Given this instruction, the Kohanim (Priests) are called to be intermediaries between G-d and the Children of Israel.

Offerings or sacrifices are elaborated in great lengths in the entire book of Leviticus. Now, does this aligns with how Jesus was offered? Let’s find out…

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Speak to the entire congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them, You shall be holy, for I, the Lord, your God, am holy.
3 Every man shall fear his mother and his father, and you shall observe My Sabbaths. I am the Lord, your God.

5 When you slaughter a peace offering to the Lord, you shall slaughter it for your acceptance.
6 It may be eaten on the day you slaughter it and on the morrow, but anything left over until the third day, shall be burned in fire.

8 And whoever eats it shall bear his sin, because he has profaned what is holy to the Lord, and that person shall be cut off from his people.
9 When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not fully reap the corner of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.

18 You shall neither take revenge from nor bear a grudge against the members of your people; you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.
19 You shall observe My statutes: You shall not crossbreed your livestock with different species. You shall not sow your field with a mixture of seeds, and a garment which has a mixture of shaatnez shall not come upon you.
20 If a man lies carnally with a woman, and she is a handmaid designated for a man, and she had not been [fully] redeemed nor had her document of emancipation been granted her, there shall be an investigation; they shall not be put to death, because she had not been [completely] freed.

TORAH

(Law)

The book of Bereishit (“In the Beginning”), also known as Genesis, is the first book of the Torah and the Christian Old Testament. It tells the story of the creation of the world, the first humans and their descendants, and the formation of the Hebrews to the Israelites. The book traces the lineages of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, and includes accounts of notable events such as the Flood, the Tower of Babel, and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Bereishit also explores the relationship between humans and G-d, as well as themes of faith, obedience, and divine providence. It lays the foundation for many key beliefs and practices in Jewish and Christian theology, and is still studied and revered by believers around the world today.
Shemot (“Names”), also known as Exodus, is the second book in the Hebrew Bible. It tells the story of how the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt and how G-d worked through Moses to deliver them from slavery. The book begins with the birth of Moses and his call from G-d to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Despite their many challenges, including the infamous plagues, the Israelites were ultimately delivered from Egypt and given the Torah (Ten Commandments) at Mount Sinai. The book concludes with the construction of the Tabernacle, a portable tent-like structure that became the center of Jewish worship. Shemot (Exodus) is a powerful narrative about G-d’s power, justice, and faithfulness, and it plays an important role in Jewish tradition and belief, and Christians alike.

Vayikra (“And G-d Called”) commonly known as Leviticus is the third book of the Torah. It predominantly focuses on the laws related to the offerings and sacrifices that the Israelites were supposed to make in the sanctuary. The book also outlines the various responsibilities and duties of the Kohanim (Priests) and Levites. Vayikra begins with G-d summoning Moses to the tent of meeting and instructing him about the different types of offerings, including burnt offerings, grain offerings, peace offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings. The book stresses the importance of atonement and purifying oneself before approaching G-d. It also speaks about the consequences of disobedience and the blessings that result from obedience to G-d’s commands. Leviticus (Vayikra) provides important insights into the Israelites’ religious practices and beliefs, reflecting deep reverence and connection to G-d.

The book of Numbers, Bamidbar in Hebrew (“In the Wilderness”) is the fourth book of the Torah and it primarily deals with the Israelites’ journeys in the wilderness and the period of 40 years during which they wandered in the desert. The book is named “Numbers” because it records two censuses of the Israelites taken by Moses, one at the beginning and one at the end of the 40-year period. The book also tells of numerous challenges and rebellions faced by Moses and the Israelites, including the story of the 12 spies sent to check out the Promised Land, the rebellion of Korah against Moses’ leadership, and the complaints of the Israelites about their hardships in the wilderness. Through all of these events, the book of Numbers emphasizes the importance of trusting G-d’s guidance and follows the Israelites as they prepare to finally enter and conquer the Promised Land.
The book of Deuteronomy, also known as Devarim in Hebrew (“Words”), is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. It contains a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites, just before they are about to enter the promised land, which summarize and expand upon many of the laws and commandments given in the earlier books of the Torah. The word Deuteronomy literally means “second law,” indicating that Moses is rehearsing the law with the Israelites before they enter the land.
The book is often seen as a sort of farewell address by Moses, containing some of his final instructions and blessings to the people he has led for many years. It emphasizes the importance of following G-d’s commandments and remaining faithful to Him, while warning against the dangers of disobedience and idolatry. Overall, Deuteronomy serves as a significant text in the history of Judaism and Christianity, containing many of the foundational beliefs and values of these religions.

GALLERY
Bible reading in the form of Scripture in pictures can have a profound impact on those who may have never read a chapter in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Viewing pivotal verses in a visual context can deepen one’s understanding of the text and provide a unique perspective. The images may help to illustrate important themes and messages that may not have been as easily grasped through standard reading. Additionally, this method can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with traditional reading methods or for those who are more visually inclined. The power of visual storytelling has been utilized for centuries, and when paired with the timeless words of Scripture, it has the potential to bring new life and meaning to the ancient text. Ultimately, whatever method one chooses to engage with the Bible, the most important thing is to seek a deeper understanding of God’s word, and to apply it to our lives in a meaningful way.
