As we conclude Leviticus, let us not forget our story. Even laws, commands, and rituals, according to the writers of the Bible, are not segregated from the historical narrative. So, if you ever find yourself in a discussion about the seemingly arbitrary or confusing verses of Leviticus, invite the conversation to consider the chapters of the story that led us there in the first place. Frame Leviticus in the whole story, beginning with Genesis 1:1.
