Leviticus
Leviticus focuses on the holiness of God and the requirements for Israel to live in covenant relationship with Him. It outlines the priestly laws, sacrificial system, and purity codes, emphasizing moral and ritual holiness. Central themes include atonement, priesthood, and sacred worship. Though complex, Leviticus reveals God’s desire for a holy people and points forward to Christ’s ultimate sacrifice.
Author: Moses – Prophet and High Priest of Instruction
Moses is traditionally credited with writing Leviticus as part of his leadership duties over Israel. The detailed instructions for priests and sacrifices were given to Moses directly by God (Leviticus 1:1). As the covenant mediator, Moses ensured these laws were preserved to maintain Israel’s purity and relationship with a holy God.
Time Period:
Biblical: Written during the Israelites’ stay at Mount Sinai (~1445 BC)
Scholarly: Composition dated between 10th–5th century BC by critical scholars; however, traditional views place authorship during Moses’ leadership.
