Leviticus
Leviticus picks up where Exodus stops. The tabernacle is built and the glory has filled it — and now God speaks out of it, teaching a redeemed people how a holy God can be lived with. Offerings, a priesthood, clean and unclean, a day of atonement, feasts, a jubilee: it is the manual for dwelling with God.
Almost none of it is narrative, and almost all of it points forward. The New Testament reads Leviticus as a shadow whose substance is Christ — His sacrifice, His priesthood, His cleansing, His return. These studies go through the book in order, the same way the rest of the Bible section does.
