Wilderness Preparations:
- Israel makes the Tabernacle
- - God accepts it!
- - He displaying His glory in it so powerfully that…

- - He does this throughout their time in the wilderness
Exodus 32-40: Theology & Anthropology: Study Packet, Page 3
- Theology:
- - God will not allow unrepentant sinners to go unpunished
- - God shows mercy, even when He disciplines us
- - God will reveal His glory to us
- - God will have mercy & compassion on those that He wants to!
- - - It is not something that we deserve!
- - - Exodus 33:19 (NIV), “And the Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”
- Anthropology:
- - Life goes best when we always trust & obey God
- - We must guard ourselves against becoming corrupt, stubborn, impatient, or pressured into sin by people or situations
- - We should pray for others to receive God’s mercy & grace
- - When it is possible & proper, we should confront & correct sin
Leviticus 1-10: Laws for Offerings & Priests: Study Packet, Page 2
Leviticus: This book…
- Teaches us how to worship
- Shows us the holiness of God
- Shows us how God makes us holy
- - We need His help!
An Outline of the Book: Leviticus is full of laws & instructions for…
- Chapters 1-7: Offerings & Sacrifices
- Chapters 8-10: Priests
- Chapters 11-22: Food, Health, & Daily Life
- Chapters 23-25: Feasts and Festivals
- Chapters 26-27: Blessings & Curses
Leviticus: The Pentateuch Table
- Key Idea: Worship (Which I define as our positive response to God, who He is & what He has done)
- The Nation: Set Apart (To be made holy!)
- The People: Taught
- God’s Character: Holy (Which means to be 'set-apart' as something greater & better)
- God’s Role: Sanctifier (To make holy)
- God’s Command: “Be Holy!”
Leviticus Some Other Details
- Author: Moses
- Position in Bible: Part of Pentateuch, 3rd book in Bible
- Key Verse: Leviticus 11:44-45 (NIV), "I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy...I am the LORD who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore be holy as I am Holy"
- Context: This continues to define the covenant relationship God and Israel had; how did God expect them to act?
- Timing of Events: The events in Leviticus seem take place in the one month period between where Exodus ends & Numbers begins
- - This is a pretty short amount of 'time' to cover, considering Exodus (80 yrs) & Genesis (1000s of years!), however the bulk of this book isn't on 'events,' it's on what God is teaching.
