Leviticus 20:22-26, Hebrews 7:26-28, Hebrews 10:1-18, 1 Peter 1:13-21
BY She Reads Truth
This Is the Old Testament is part of a twelve-week thematic overview of the entire Bible. As we read, we’ll gain a broader understanding of the redemptive story of Scripture. Each day we’ll read a thematic selection from a different book of the Bible, along with supplemental passages that show how the theme of that day’s main reading is found throughout Scripture. We’ll also read a brief summary of each book and a reflection on how the book fits into the larger story of Scripture.
What Is Leviticus? The book of Leviticus picks up where Exodus ends, with Israel at Mount Sinai receiving the law. Recorded by Moses, it presents God’s instructions for holiness, including regulations for worship, laws on ceremonial cleanliness, moral laws, and instructions for holy days.
How Leviticus Fits Into the Story: The book of Leviticus contains instructions for the Israelites on how to worship God and live as His holy people. Studying Leviticus opens up a clearer picture of our holy God and a glimpse at what Jesus Christ’s sacrifice has truly done for us. The sacrificial system was established in order to provide atonement for the sins of Israel, and the writer of Hebrews relied on these images in describing the person and role of Jesus Christ: the sacrifice, the priesthood, and the Day of Atonement (Heb 4:14–10:18).
Reflection Questions:
1. Why does God say He has set the people of Israel apart from the nations?
2. How does today’s reading shape your understanding of the story of redemption?

Hillary Stephens… I had never thought of the “vomit you out” in relation to Adam & Eve. That’s good…

Hey ladies! To start, this study has already been incredible! How beautiful to see the theme of redemption from the first page of the Bible to the very last (at the end of the NT series), and every page between!
Speaking of redemption, I see how badly I need Christ to redeem me on a daily basis. I struggle with immense anxieties that affect how I’m able to function. I know there is a purpose to this struggle and I pray that God uses it to point others to Him, both today and down the road.
If I may ask, would you pray for me as i battle insecurities and anxieties?
