Leviticus

1:3. What shall I bring? Myself. Komans 12:1.” I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God: which is your reasonable service.”

Whereto? the cross.

How? Willingly. In spirit and in truth. John 4:23.

4. “He shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt-offering.” This implies confession, substitution, atonement, satisfaction, forgiveness.

9. The careful cleansing of the sacrifice before it was placed on the altar, teaches of God’s holiness and the righteous requirements of His law. What God accepts must be clean.

8:4. It is said fifty times of Moses that he “did as the Lord commanded him.”

9: 3, 4. Sin-offering: Christ the sin-bearer.

Burnt-offering: Consecration. Horn. 12:1. Peace-offering: Christ our peace. Eph. 2: 14-16. Meat-offering: Feeding on the Word.

11: 3. Parting the hoof — outward walk. Chewing the cud — inward life.

35. Precaution against sin and defilement, in the kitchen as well as in the tabernacle.

14: V. 5. One bird killed — Christ dying on the cross. V. 7. One bird loosed — Christ risen and ascended on high.

15: 10. Influence over others.

19: 27. Baal-worshipers rounded their beard and hair to make their faces look like the sun. Avoid the appearance of evil.

23: Seven feasts: —

1. Sabbath — Rest.

2. Passover — Death of Christ.

3. First-fruits — Resurrection.

4. Pentecost — Descent of the Hoiy Spirit.

5. Trumpets — Ingathering of Israel.

6. Atonement — Mourning for sin.

7. Tabernacles — Christ’s indwelling in the Christian.

25: 5. The only place in the Bible where the word «’ its” occurs.
