1) The Israelites had to be diligent. Though they faltered (as we all do) they were held by a special set of regulations separating them from the rest of the world. They were diligent, and there had to be those who kept the regulations well and did not stray to far away. Throughout their history since they were given these laws, they were to keep them and be diligent in keeping them. So my question; why is it still so tough to be diligent in the teachings of Christ? Because now we are in the freedom of the Savior, why is it still so hard?
2) God is the ultimate everything. In Leviticus 13 God is talking about what is leprosy and what it will look like. He is telling them specific things to look for such as the color of the skin how deep the sore goes will tell if it is leprosy or not. Did the sore turn the hair white, or is the hair normal in color. Who to deem unclean and clean. Giving them scenarios such as if someone is burned and sores come from the burn, he tells them what to look for. God was keeping his people without blemish just like their sacrifices because Jesus would come and be the ultimate lamb for the slaughter, unblemished. God was the ultimate doctor with the ultimate plan.
So yeah Leviticus is actually not a book to snooze over, it is just a part of the plan. It is an old book that set sights for the future of the world. He knows what he is doing in every aspect of life itself, and he cares for his people. It is amazing how God preserved his people to bring the One who would rescue them.
All to God
