Mission St Clare website Read |   Day 49 | Wednesday | February 18 | Leviticus 7:1 – 8:36 Dates | 1445 or 1279 BC Background |  Leviticus is the third book of the Old Testament. Its very title makes reference to the fact that the book focuses on priestly duties and laws (as well as some moral laws). Levi, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, is the tribe assigned to be Israel’s priests. All of the events narrated in Leviticus take place on Mt. Sinai, where Leviticus portrays Yahweh as the giver of the law. These laws are given in addition to the laws described in Exodus. All laws, whether found in Exodus or Leviticus, are said to given from God to Moses, God’s servant. Most biblical scholars understand the laws of Exodus and Leviticus to represent different traditions in Israel’s history, and that the laws of Leviticus reflect a later stage of the development of Israel’s faith. Many scholars have argued that these laws were not active until Israel’s return fro...

Where there is hatred, let us sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, union; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.
