The Book of Leviticus is God's manual for His people on how to approach Him and live pleasing in His sight. The laws of Leviticus, given to the Israelites while they were encamped on Mount Sinai, were the guideposts which they needed for life on the wilderness journey ahead, and for settling in Canaan. "Ye shall be holy," pervades the book, revealing something of the awesome message which God always wants all His people to hear and obey. Exodus records how Israel became a redeemed nation while Leviticus concerns the cleansing, worship and service of that redeemed nation.
