Session 1 · Leviticus 1–5
Whole burnt gifts, grain and peace, and offerings for guilt.
- The burnt offering from herd, flock, or birds ascends whole on the altar after the worshiper lays a hand on its head and the priest throws the blood.
- The grain offering of flour, oil, and frankincense gives a memorial portion to the fire and the rest to the priests, with salt required and leaven kept off the altar.
- The peace offering presents the fat of an unblemished animal from herd or flock as the Lord's food, and Israel is forbidden to eat either fat or blood.
- When a priest, the whole congregation, a ruler, or an ordinary person sins without meaning to, a sin offering and its blood make atonement so that they are forgiven.
- Silence under a curse, forgotten uncleanness, or a rash oath requires confession and an offering the poor can still bring, and harm to holy things requires repayment plus a fifth.
Session 2 · Leviticus 6–10
The altar's fire, seven days of ordination, and strange fire.
- The altar fire is kept burning through the night, priests eat their assigned portions in a holy place, and the priest's own grain offering is burned whole.
- Peace offerings for thanks, a vow, or a freewill gift must be eaten in the time allowed, and the person who eats fat or blood is cut off from the people.
- Moses washes, clothes, and anoints Aaron and his sons, puts sacrificial blood on ear, thumb, and toe, and keeps them at the tent for seven days.
- On the eighth day Aaron offers for himself and for the people, the two bless the congregation, and fire from the Lord consumes the offering as the glory appears.
- Nadab and Abihu offer fire the Lord had not commanded and die before Him, Aaron is silent, and the remaining priests are warned off wine and charged to teach what is holy.
Session 3 · Leviticus 11–15
Clean and unclean: animals, birth, skin, and the body.
- Israel may eat beasts that both chew the cud and split the hoof, and fish with fins and scales, while other creatures are unclean so the people will be holy as the Lord is holy.
- A mother is unclean for a set time after childbirth, longer for a daughter than for a son, and she returns with a burnt offering and a sin offering when her days are complete.
- The priest, not the rumor of the camp, examines skin disease, and the person declared unclean lives outside, in torn clothes, crying a warning to others.
- The cleansing of one who is healed uses two birds, cedar, scarlet, and hyssop, and on the eighth day blood and oil mark ear, thumb, and toe, with a poorer gift allowed.
- Bodily discharges make men and women unclean for a time, washing is required, and eighth-day offerings guard the tabernacle that stands in Israel's midst.
Session 4 · Leviticus 16–20
The mercy seat, blood that is life, and a holy people.
- Once a year Aaron enters behind the veil with incense and blood, and the living goat carries Israel's confessed iniquities into the wilderness.
- Animals are offered at the tent rather than in the open field, and Israel is forbidden to eat blood because the life is in the blood, given on the altar for atonement.
- The Lord forbids the sexual customs of Egypt and Canaan, including incest, adultery, and other defilements, and warns that the land vomited out those who did them.
- Israel is commanded to be holy, to leave gleanings for the poor and the stranger, to use honest weights, and to love the neighbor as oneself.
- Penalties are set for Molech worship, mediums, cursing parents, and the sexual sins already named, because the Lord has separated Israel to Himself.
Session 5 · Leviticus 21–25
Priests, the feasts of the year, a blasphemy, and Jubilee.
- Priests limit their mourning and their marriages, and a son of Aaron with a bodily blemish may eat the holy food but may not draw near the altar to offer it.
- Holy food is eaten only in cleanness, and animals vowed to the Lord must be without blemish, not a leftover handed on as if any gift would do.
- The year is summoned: Sabbath, Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Weeks, Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and Booths, when Israel lives in huts and rejoices before the Lord.
- The lamp burns continually and twelve loaves stand before the Lord, and a man who blasphemes the Name is judged under a law that also measures injury as eye for eye.
- The land rests every seventh year, and the fiftieth year proclaims liberty, each returning to his possession, because the land is the Lord's and Israel are sojourners with Him.
Session 6 · Leviticus 26–27
Blessing, curse, confession, and what may be vowed.
- If Israel walks in the statutes, the Lord promises rain, peace, and His own walking presence, and if she refuses, the curses deepen until confession moves Him to remember Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
- Persons, animals, houses, and fields vowed to the Lord are valued in the sanctuary shekel and sometimes redeemed at a fifth more, while the tithe is holy and a devoted ban is not bought back.
