Leviticus 7 gathers regulations for guilt, sin, and fellowship offerings and assigns perpetual priestly portions. Its holy boundaries around table fellowship teach ordered joy now and foreshadow the church’s worship under Christ our High Priest.
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 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 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.
Israel’s high priest carried the tribes before God and entered the Most Holy Place with blood. The office taught holiness, access, and mercy—and pointed forward to Jesus, the great High Priest who grants confident access now and forever.

Elizabeth and Zechariah’s story is a powerful example of faith and obedience, as God miraculously blessed them with John the Baptist in their old age. Their lives demonstrate God’s perfect timing and sovereignty in fulfilling His promises, even through ordinary people.
