Leviticus: that weird book of the Torah you've been avoiding! Highlighting ideas of purity, impurity, Priesthood, and the Tabernacle, this book details the rituals that the Israelites maintained to be able to be in God's presence. Though the seemingly gruesome practices and obvious obsession with goats can seem strange, Leviticus makes one theme very clear: nothing is arbitrary when it comes to the Israelite's God. We see clearly through these detailed rituals and relationships that their God is a different God-one who lovingly provides a way for His people to be near Him
