Chapter III.

Leviticus.

Name. By the rabbis, it was called "The Law of the Priest" and "The
Law of Offerings," but from the time of the Vulgate it has been called
Leviticus, because it deals with the services of the sanctuary as
administered by the Levites.

Connection with Former Books. In Genesis, man is left outside of the
Garden and the remedy for his ruin is seen in the promised seed. In
Exodus, man is not only outside of Eden, but is in bondage to an evil
enemy and his escape from his bondage is shown to be in the blood of
the lamb, which is shown to be sufficient to satisfy man's need and
God's justice. In Leviticus there is given the place of sacrifice, as
an atonement for sin, and it is shown that God accepted the sacrifice
of the victim instead of the death of the sinner. It is a continuation
of Exodus, containing the Sinaitic legislation from the time of the
completion of the Tabernacle.

Contents. Except the brief historical sections found in chapters 8-10
and 24:10-14, it contains a system of laws, which may be divide
