The Book of LEVITICUS

In this study, Bible teacher Dave Bigler covers Leviticus 1.2-17.  This includes a close look at the Burnt Offering, what it was, how it was performed, and why.  Interesting subjects covered are the foundation for the term “scapegoat” as well as “holocaust.”  

In this Bible Study, we go verse by verse through Leviticus chapter 2.  We unpack the multiple types of prepared Grain offerings instructed by God for the Israelites to make.  We also take a deep look at Leaven / Yeast in the Bible as well as why salt was always to be included in the grain offering.  Finally, as always, we conclude with an application of this text for our lives today.  Join us as we dig deep into scripture!

The sin offering (also known as the purification offering) is covered in Leviticus chapter 4 as well as the first 13 verses of chapter 5.  In this study, we will look at the first portion, as outlined in Leviticus chapter 4.  The sin offering was an offering required when an individual (or group) had sinned unintentionally.  The offering atoned for the sin and cleansed them from unrighteousness.  What is the application for this for us today?  Do we have such an offering for our sin today?

In this Bible study, we look at the 2nd half of the Sin Offering as outlined in Leviticus 5.1-13.  The Israelites were required to perform a “sin offering” if they failed to do something that was required, such as failing to give a testimony, dealing properly with ritual uncleanness, or fulfilling an oath.  We also look at the “sin offering” as the “purification offering” asking why a woman who just gave birth would be required to give a “sin offering?”  A key verse in this passage is Leviticus 5.5 in which the text tells us that confession is key to the process. 

In this Bible Study, Dave covers 60 verses; from Leviticus 6.8 - through the end of chapter 7.  In this segment we see additional directions given for the priests as it relates to the six different offerings.  In doing this, Dave goes through and does a quick review of each of the six offerings outlined in Leviticus 1-7: the Burnt Offering, Grain Offering, Sin Offering, Guilt Offering and the Fellowship Offering.  Its a long study, but it wraps up this first segment of the book of Leviticus. 

In this Bible Study we look at Leviticus chapter 8.  Chapters 8-10 are all about the establishment of the priesthood, and today we look at the ordination process.  God gave Moses very specific instructions in Exodus 28 and 29 and here we see those plans carried out.

In this Bible study of Leviticus chapter 9, we see the first tabernacle service.  Up until this point, Moses has been conducting all the sacrifices, but now Aaron and his sons will take on the role of tabernacle priests, as outlined at the end of Exodus and fully explained in the first 7 chapters of Leviticus.  At the end of the service, we see the Glory of the Lord appear to the people, and we see God consume their offerings with fire from heaven!  We conclude this talk camping out on these two subjects, the Glory of the Lord and Fire being used as a sign from God.

In this Bible Study, we look at Leviticus 10 and Nadab and Abihu, Aaron’s sons.  Why did God kill Nadab and Abihu?  What did they do that brought down God’s swift judgment?  We also look at the story of Korah in Numbers 16 as well as Annanis and Sapphira in Acts 5.  Dave also briefly talks about Alcohol and what the Bible has to say about consuming it.
