About this episode
We come now to the final chapter of Leviticus, a book that our modern sensibilities find strange, if not altogether off-putting. We have waded through sacrifices, skin diseases, dietary laws, and regulations about mildew. It is a book that smells of blood and burning fat. And for the modern Christian, who wants a tidy, sentimental faith, this can all seem a bit much. This book is a detailed, practical, and earthy outworking of a single, thunderous reality: God is holy, and He has chosen to dwell among a sinful people. This holiness was not an abstract feeling in their hearts; it was to permeate every aspect of their lives, from their worship to their work, from their bodies to their buildings. Leviticus is the holiness code for a people set apart. And now, at the very end of this detailed instruction, we come to a chapter on vows and valuations.
