Leviticus covers the details of the priestly law. Leviticus is about legal boundaries; it's the No Trespassing book in the Bible. In this book, you will learn of four kinds of law: Land Laws Seed Laws Priestly Laws Cross-Boundary Laws Only the fourth category is binding on gentiles in the New Testament era. These are the Jonah laws laws that applied outside the boundaries of Israel. The book of Leviticus is divided into five sections, and these five sections parallel the five points of the biblical covenant model: God, Hierarchy, Law, Sanctions, and Inheritance. These categories, in Leviticus, are Sacrifices, Cleansing, Separation, Covenantal Acts, and Inheritance. There were five sacrifices, and they also paralleled the biblical covenant model: Whole Burnt Offering (God's), Grain Offering (Priestly), Peace Offering (Boundaries), Purification Offering (Sanctions-Avoiding), and Guilt Offering (Preservation). Chapter 6 deals with one of the greatest errors in anthropology and sociology: the sacred/profane dualism. The biblical distinctions are common, sacred, and profane. The Bible does not teach that anything that is not sacred is therefore profane. Hardly anything is profane, few things are sacred, and most things are common; but to be common is not to be profane except in a single instance: violating a sacred boundary. That alone is profanity. The longest law in the Bible was the law of cleansing: quarantine (Chapters 13, 14). ----- This series, An Economic Commentary on the Bible, is published by Reconstructionist Radio, a producer and provider of Reformed (Postmillennial, Presuppositional, Covenantal, Calvinist, and Theonomic) Christian Reconstructionist podcasts, audiobooks, lectures, sermons, music, and other media.
