HOW TO USE
READ THE CHAPTERS IN THE BIBLE FOR EACH SESSION
ANSWER THE QUESTIONS + REFLECT ON THE READING
This study encourages going at your own pace, allowing each session to be a day, a week, or however long you need. Each session contains questions to be used for individual reflection or small group discussion.
This study was made to be used alongside Bible reading. Although we have created chapter summaries, there is no substitute for reading God's Word.
SESSION ONE: LEVITICUS 1-10
OFFERINGS + PRIESTHOOD
The Israelites were instructed to offer animal sacrifices as payment for their sins. Why do you think God required bloodshed as a part of repentance?
Read Romans 6:23. How does this correlate with blood as a representation of life?
According to Leviticus 2:13, what should be included with grain offerings?
Read Matthew 5:13. How did Jesus describe His followers?
How might offering a sacrifice (or giving sacrificially) as a way to give thanks be helpful in growing closer to God?
What type of sin was God describing to Moses in Leviticus 4?
Why would God require sacrifices for this type of sin?
Why does God ask the person to confess their sin before bringing an offering?What does this show about God’s desire for honesty and repentance?
Why was it important for Aaron to follow God's instructions before His glory appeared? What does this chapter reveal about how God responds to obedience?
How does the incident of Nadab and Abihu's disobedience highlight the seriousness of holiness in the tabernacle?
SESSION TWO: LEVITICUS 11-20
GUIDELINES FOR PURITY + HOLINESS
In Leviticus 11, God describes the clean and unclean animals. In Genesis 7:2–3, which type of animals did Noah bring more of on the ark? Why do you think God revealed these distinctions to Noah before the law was officially given?
In Leviticus 12, God gave instructions for sacrifices after childbirth. Read Luke 2:22–24. What sacrifice was given after Jesus’s birth? What does this tell us about the status of Mary and Joseph?
Leviticus 13 includes laws about identifying and isolating skin disease. How does Jesus respond to those with leprosy in the New Testament? What does this reveal about His heart toward the unclean or outcast? (See Mark 1:40–42 and Luke 17:11–14)
What do you think is the difference between being unclean and being sinful? Why is that distinction important?
In Leviticus 16, one goat was sacrificed and the other was sent into the wilderness. What do you think was the purpose or meaning of this ritual? Look up the term “scapegoat.” How does this connect to the practice described on the Day of Atonement?
God tells the Israelites not to consume blood. How does this emphasis on blood as sacred help us understand the sacrifice of Jesus more clearly?
Which law or instruction in Leviticus 19 stands out to you the most? Read Matthew 22:37–40. What does Jesus say is the greatest commandment? How might these ideas be connected?
SESSION THREE: LEVITICUS 21-27
FEASTS + REDEMPTION
God gave specific laws for the priests. What does this say about those with leadership roles within the church? What does this look like today?
Leviticus 23 outlines the Hebrew festivals. Why would God command that the Israelites celebrate these feasts? What does this tell you about God?
Have you heard the phrase “an eye for an eye” before? How does God distinguish between murder and killing?
Based on Leviticus 25, what happened during the Year of Jubilee? How does this reflect God's heart for justice and mercy?
How does Leviticus 26 emphasize that the law is a conditional covenant?
How does God respond differently to obedience and disobedience?
Do the laws of Leviticus apply today? Why don’t Christians offer animal sacrifices? Read 1 John 4:10. How does this verse relate to Leviticus?
