Leviticus 6 binds neighbor-love to altar worship. It requires restitution with an added fifth and a guilt offering, then orders priestly service around a fire that never goes out. In Christ, forgiveness opens daily, ordered devotion and a people who repair wrongs with generous integrity.
Leviticus 5 addresses failures of truth, unnoticed uncleanness, and rash oaths with confession, graded offerings, and, where needed, restitution plus a fifth. The chapter prepares us for Christ as the true guilt offering who cleanses consciences, repairs loss, and forms a truthful, merciful people.
Leviticus 4 addresses unintentional sins that still defile God’s dwelling and community life. Through scaled offerings, inner blood rites, and outside-the-camp removal, the Lord provides real cleansing and pardon that foreshadows Christ’s once-for-all work.
Leviticus 3 describes the fellowship offering that celebrates God-made peace and shared communion. Its reserved fat and ban on blood teach consecrated best and the holiness of life, pointing to Christ who secures our peace and gathers His people to a holy table.
Leviticus 2 turns daily bread into worship: fine flour with oil and incense, a memorial portion for God, and provision for priests. Its rules about yeast, honey, and salt train sincere, faithful gratitude that points to Christ and a promised harvest to come.
Leviticus 1 opens a God-given path of nearness through the burnt offering, teaching substitution, purity, and total consecration. In Christ the pattern reaches its fullness, calling believers to approach by atonement and live as a holy priesthood.
Exodus 39 outfits a priesthood. Names are carried on shoulders and over the heart, holiness crowns the mind, and obedience ends in blessing as Israel completes the work just as the Lord commanded.
Exodus 36 turns forgiven generosity into fabric and frame. Artisans craft the tabernacle exactly as God commanded while gifts overflow, preparing the way for glory to fill the tent.
After Israel’s failure, God offers land and victory without His nearness. Moses pleads for Presence, and the Lord grants rest and promises a guarded vision of glory. The story points forward to the day when God’s people will see His face and enjoy unbroken fellowship.
Exodus 30 sets prayer before the veil, ties fragrance to blood, and guards holiness with washing and boundaries. Equal ransom, sacred oil, and reserved incense teach a people to live near God with clean hands and a fragrant witness.
Exodus 29 consecrates priests by word, water, oil, and blood and sets a daily rhythm of sacrifice where God promises to meet and speak. The chapter anchors Israel’s life in mercy at the doorway of the tent and points ahead to a greater Priest and a future fullness of dwelling.
Exodus 28 turns garments into theology. Aaron bears Israel’s names on shoulders and heart, wears “holy to the Lord” on his brow, and seeks God’s judgment so the people may be accepted before Him.
Exodus 27 moves worship into the open: a bronze altar meets the worshiper first, linen walls gather a public square of holiness, and clear oil keeps the lamp burning through the night. Together they train a redeemed people to approach by sacrifice, assemble with order, and live by steady light.
Exodus 26 turns mercy into architecture. Layered fabrics, golden frames in silver bases, and a guarding veil shape a portable home where God lives with His people. The pattern on the mountain trains the church in reverent, unified worship and hope for fuller nearness.
Exodus 25 begins God’s dwelling among His people with willing gifts and precise patterns. At the mercy-seat God meets and speaks, bread remains before Him, and the lamp never goes out.
