Bart Byl on Leviticus 16.

Series: Christ in the Old Testament

Nocturnal emissions and menstrual cycles. Hair loss and skin discoloration. Mold in your walls and mildew in your clothing. Lists of clean and unclean foods. It’s hard to see the relevance of the regulations and rituals described in Leviticus. But this third book of Moses is really describing God’s deep desire to dwell with a people made holy by the sacrificial work of his appointed priest. And that’s what the Day of Atonement, at the very heart of the very centre of the Penateuch, is all about.
