La gloria del Señor acababa de llenar el tabernáculo y ahora Dios le dijo a Moisés que instruyera a los sacerdotes levitas y al pueblo de Israel con respecto a los sacrificios, ofrendas y adoración, la ordenación de Aarón y sus hijos, limpieza ceremonial , las fiestas y días santos, el Día de la Expiación, y el Año del Jubileo. El mensaje central de este libro es que Dios es santo y Él requiere que su pueblo sea santo. Pero el libro también muestra la gracia de Dios al proporcionar la expiación por el pecado a través del derramamiento de sangre. La mayoría de los judíos y cristianos reconocen a Moisés como el autor, y se cree que fue escrito en algún momento después de la promulgación de la Ley, alrededor de 1445 aC
The book of Leviticus begins with the people of Israel at the foot of Mount Sinai. The glory of the Lord had just filled the tabernacle and now God told Moses to instruct the Levite priests and the people of Israel regarding the sacrifices, offerings and worship, the ordination of Aaron and their children, ceremonial cleansing, the feasts and holy days, the Day of Atonement, and the Year of Jubilee. The central message of this book is that God is holy and He requires that his people be holy. But the book also shows the grace of God in providing the atonement for sin through the shedding of blood. Most Jews and Christians recognize Moses as the author, and it is believed that it was written sometime after the giving of the Law, around 1445 BC.
