103-102 Leviticus

The author of Leviticus is Moses. In Exodus the place to worship God had been prescribed according to God’s instruction. The setting of the Leviticus is the plains beneath Mount Sinai, (Exodus 19:1) the book deals with the question of how the Lord may be present with His people. The Israelites were faced with a twofold question in their relationship with their God Yahweh. Where is the Lord’s presence? How could they experience that presence after they had left Mount Sinai? In the book of Exodus the place of worship had been established with the building of the tabernacle. Leviticus addresses the remaining issue, the worshiper. Leviticus is concerned with the Lord’s word on how we may dedicate our life to Him.
