Outline:

Because chapter 17 closes the first half of the Book of Leviticus — a section of Scripture in which God explains the way He wanted to be approached by His people, I find it to be an appropriate time for us to take just a few moments in order to quickly recap what we’ve been examining over the last sixteen weeks. Yes, this is our 17th study in Leviticus.

Leviticus begins with seven chapters detailing five specific offerings the people were to make at the “tabernacle of meeting” before the Lord. In chapter 1 we have recorded the Olah or the Burnt Offering which illustrated the Sacrifice God would have to graciously make in order to atone for our sins. God would offer something costly. Jesus would endure something ghastly. And in the end this work had to be accepted by the worshipper in faith!

Following this, Leviticus 2 documents the Minchah or the Grain Offering which articulated the appropriate way in which a person was to respond to God for the demonstration of His grace. God’s Sacrifice to make atonement on our behalf (the Burnt Offering) should yield a natural response in our lives back to Him. Note: This was specifically a free-will offering!

Stemming from the Olah Offering of grace and the Minchah Offering of response to God’s grace, chapter 3 lays out the Shelem or the Peace Offering. The idea behind this offering was not that the offering achieved a peace with God. Rather, it was an offering made to the Lord manifesting from a peace that had already been attained. In a profound way God is discussing how His grace should now be enjoyed by His people — His peace!

Chapters 5-7 transitions to the last two of these five offerings which were mandated… The Trespass and Sin Offerings. While the Sin Offering was focused on creating a path for a person to repent of their sins of nature (unintentional) and receive God’s forgiveness, the Trespass Offering was instituted to remove the weight and guilt of a person’s intentional sin. This is why a sinner was required to make restitution in addition to a sacrifice.

After articulating to Moses the protocols for the sacrificial system that was to occur specifically at this new “tabernacle of meeting,” Leviticus 8 quickly moves away from these seven chapters of legalese to an active narrative that lasts a grand total of eight days, carries us up through the end of Leviticus 10, and documents some crazy things.
