DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS:
1. From this opening study of the book of Leviticus, would you describe it as a “worship manual”? Why or why not?
2. The book of Leviticus derives its name from the Levites. Who were the Levites and what was their role among the Children of Israel?
3. How did the podcast define “the Law”?
4. According to the podcast, how did the Law teach the people about God’s holiness?
5. According to the podcast, how did the Law teach the people about the kind of worship that God accepts?
6. According to the podcast, how did the Law teach the people that God wants to have fellowship with Him?
7. According to the podcast, how did the Law show teach the people that the worship of God is personal?
8. According to the podcast, how did the Law teach God’s authority over every aspect of our lives?
9. According to the podcast, how did the Law point to Jesus?
10. There were several kinds of burnt offerings (daily, sabbath, festal, and voluntary). What set the “burnt offering” apart as the most sacred form of an offering? Why?
11. What did the burnt offering uniquely show the person who was making the offering?
12. Verse 2 taught that the animal had to come from the person’s own flock (assuming they had one). Verse 3 says that the animal had to be “without defeat” (as in, healthy; not lame and dying). What did this show about the quality of this animal that was to be fully dedicated to God? How does this quality reflect the devotion of the worshipper?
13. In verse 4, the worshipper was to lay their hands on the animal and identify themselves with it. What was this identification for? What was it supposed to show the worshipper?
14. In verses 4, 5 & 6, the worshipper was to perform this sacrifice according to these specific steps (this was before the people’s fall in Numbers 13). How do you think the offeror’s involvement would personalize this ceremony and makes it “real” for the worshipper?
15. What provision is given in verse 14 for those who could not afford an animal from their herd? What does this show us about the Lord’s desire for His people to be in fellowship with Him?
16. In light of Leviticus 1, how is the Burnt Offering the ultimate act of consecration? How does this reflect our consecration that we have in Christ, today?
