Earlier today I was reading a little commentary on Leviticus. Written by a Christian Brother who died (went “home” to be with the Lord) in 1892 (December 30th). His name: Andrew Bonar, a Scottish man of God.
I quote him, concerning Leviticus … “There is no book, in the whole compass of that inspired Volume which the Holy Ghost has given us, that contains more of THE VERY WORDS OF GOD than Leviticus. It is God that is the direct speaker in almost every page; his gracious words are recorded in the form wherein they were uttered. This consideration cannot fail to send us to the study of it with singular interest and attention.”
Wow!
Thus, as we proceed with our study of Leviticus … we need to remember that we are indeed standing on “Holy Ground!” GOD IS SPEAKING!
Our Book is so named (Leviticus) because it centers on the proper activity for the Levites. Especially the Priests among the Levites. With God Almighty being the Instructor, Teacher, Lecturer!
Look with me at Leviticus 1:1, its very first sentence: “And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, …”
I love learning new things “from” the Word of God, and even learning “about” the Word of God!
Lessons continue, Lord willing, tomorrow morning!
