Levitical Law
The detailed regulations in Leviticus governing Israel's worship, purity, and priestly service. These include laws about clean and unclean animals (chapter 11), skin diseases (chapters 13-14), bodily discharges (chapter 15), the Day of Atonement (chapter 16), blood prohibition (chapter 17), sexual ethics (chapters 18-20), and priestly standards (chapters 21-22). The holiness code (chapters 17-26) centers on the command, 'Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy' (19:2). While Christians are not bound by the ceremonial details, the Levitical laws reveal God's holiness, the seriousness of sin, and the need for atonement that Christ ultimately fulfills (Hebrews 9-10).
