What I got: Sacrifice is necessary
Thoughts: For most of the Book of Leviticus God is setting down rules and standards for the Israelites. He was preparing them for the responsibilites that would come with the Promise Land. God emphasizes the importance of sacrifce to maintain cleanliness in God's eyes, and he wants the best sacrfice that we can give. God does not appreciate half-stepping, and he made many sins punishable by death and exile to show how much he detests certain behaviors. He made sure to specify that the Sabbath must be honored, sex with family members is detestable, and neighbors must be treated well.
Questions: What is Molech? And is God's definition of adultery the same as the modern defintion?
Looking Forward: The Book of Numbers is next and I'm still pushing through. Pray for me.
