Attend to repeated words
Repetition can draw attention to an important concern, but it is not a secret code. Notice a word, image, command, or action that recurs, and ask what it is doing in each setting. Let the surrounding sentences explain its force.
Holiness in shared life
Leviticus concerns Israel's worship and life near a holy God. Sacrifices, purity, justice, and calendar practices shape a covenant community. Read these instructions in their ancient setting before considering Christian application through Christ.
With Leviticus 11–14 in view: What does this instruction teach Israel about approaching God or protecting community life?
