Few books have caused people to become discouraged as they read through the Bible like Leviticus. Offerings, sacrifices, emissions, feasts and priestly garments cause us to miss the main point of the book. A people who had been influenced by pagan Egyptian deities for over 400 years were now given a standard in which they were to live as followers of the one true God. Revolutionizing their lives, Leviticus provided guidelines and standards for their day-to-day activities. Irrelevant as it may seem to us now, it served as a prime document for life for the people of its day, and in many ways, it still serves as a guide for how life is to be lived in relation to God.
