	JewishEncyclopedia.com - LEVITICUS.
		Leviticus as it stands is not, however, a consistent code of laws formulated at one time, but is the result of a considerable process of compilation.
		Leviticus now concludes with a chapter on vows, which belongs to a late stratum of P. It is later than the institution of the year of jubilee, and introduces a law, not mentioned elsewhere, concerning the tithe of cattle.
		Leviticus is, however, not the work of the P who wrote the account of the sacred institutions, but of an editor who dislocated that work at many points, and who combined with it the Holiness Code and other elements.

	Leviticus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leviticus is the third book of the Hebrew Bible, also the third book in the Torah (five books of Moses).
		A possible reason may be that, of all the books of the Torah, Leviticus is the closest to being purely devoted to mitzvot and its study goes hand-in-hand with their performance.
		To Christian readers, Leviticus is literally about Jewish law and regulations for worship, but in prophetic type prefigures the person and work of Jesus Christ, especially his substitutionary death on the cross as a sin offering, as is made clear in the Epistle to Hebrews.

		Leviticus is not an inappropriate title for this, the third of the books of the Pentateuch written by Moses.

		Leviticus also teaches us that women are unclean during their menstrual cycle, that defecating within the camp was unacceptable lest God step in it while walking in the evening, and a woman giving birth to a male child is considered unclean for a week -- for a female child two weeks.
		This is not to say, however, that Leviticus and the other books concerning the Law should be excised from the canon nor that it is not relevant or that it has not place in contemporary Christendom.

		he name "Leviticus" was bestowed on the third book of the Pentateuch by the ancient Greek translators because a good part of this book consists of sacrificial and other ritual laws prescribed for the priests of the tribe of Levi.
		Continuing the legislation given by God to Moses at Mount Sinai, Leviticus is almost entirely legislative in character; the rare narrative portions are subordinate to the main legislative theme.
		Generally speaking, the laws contained in this book serve to teach the Israelites that they should always keep themselves in a state of legal purity, or external sanctity, as a sign of their intimate union with the Lord.
