Levítico 2:4

For millennia, God’s people have been carrying out a weekly Bible study plan. Every year, they read through the Torah from Genesis to Deuteronomy. In synagogue each week, they read and study a Bible passage—the weekly parshah. This week’s parshah is called “Vayikra,” which is Hebrew for “And He Called,” and covers Leviticus 1:1–5:26.

Leviticus can feel confusing and distant from our lives today, but its sacrifices reveal important truths about who God is, the seriousness of our sin, and our need for grace. In this six-day plan through Leviticus 1–7, we’ll explore Israel’s major sacrifices, what they taught God’s people about approaching him, and how they ultimately point us to Jesus. Along the way, we’ll see that the holy God who determines how we approach him is also the God who graciously provides the way.
