Verse 34

"These are the commandments, which Jehovah commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai."

This is indeed an appropriate ending for Leviticus, and it has the effect of tying all of the regulations to the Sinaitic covenant. "It is in accord with the total impression given by Leviticus, that it consists of laws given to Moses (by Almighty God) for Israel at Sinai."[17] "This final verse is a repetition of the concluding verse of Leviticus 26, and has the effect of showing that this chapter (Leviticus 27) also is a valid part of the Sinai covenant."[18]

We have now come to the end of these somewhat tedious chapters in Leviticus, where there is much material with little application to our own times and situations, "giving inevitably an appearance of dryness and formality";[19] but as Spurgeon once said, "There is honey in the rock if we only take the time and patience to seek it." We praise the Lord who enabled us to discover some of it. How marvelous is the typology, for example, in the consecration of Aaron and his sons, witnessing to some of the most important truth in the Dispensation of Christ, and how merciful of the Lord that in many instances where certain penalties were required, exceptions were made for those who through poverty were unable to comply with the laws! Here, even as in Exodus, it is evident that God's mercy ranked higher than his law, and who is there who cannot rejoice in this glorious O.T. truth?
