Leviticus 27:30-34 Conclusion

 30Thus any tithe from the land, whether from the seed of the land or the fruit of the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD. 31If a man wishes to redeem part of his tithe, he must add a fifth to its value.

32Every tenth animal from the herd or flock that passes under the shepherd’s rod will be holy to the LORD. 33He must not inspect whether it is good or bad, and he shall not make any substitution. But if he does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute shall become holy; they cannot be redeemed.’ ”

34These are the commandments that the LORD gave to Moses for the Israelites on Mount Sinai.

“READER, thou hast now gone through the whole of this most interesting book; a book whose subject is too little regarded by Christians in general. Here thou mayest discover the rigid requisitions of Divine justice, the sinfulness of sin, the exceeding breadth of the commandment, and the end of all human perfection... By this law then is the knowledge, but not the cure of sin... We see then that Christ was the END of the law for righteousness (for justification) to every one that believeth.” (Clarke)

“In the Book of Leviticus the children of Israel were marking time at Mount Sinai. The book opens and concludes at the same geographical spot, Mount Sinai, where God gave the Law. Exodus concludes with the tabernacle constructed and the glory of the Lord filling it. Leviticus gives the order and rules of worship in the tabernacle. The Hebrew word Vayikrah opens the book, and it means “and He called.” God moves into the tabernacle and speaks from there rather than from Mount Sinai. He calls the people to Him and tells them how to come. This is the exact meaning of the church — ekklesia, “called out ones.” The Lord Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice” (John 10:27).” (Dr. J. Vernon McGee)

When I lived in Arizona I had found Dr. J. Vernon McGee on the radio and enjoyed listening to him. His style of teaching is different than others and he grew on me. While preparing today’s study I found his notes on Leviticus and wish I had found them earlier. They are short and only 8 pages including book references of recommended reading. 

Enjoy & Blessings, David
