Historical background
It holds the laws given right after the tabernacle was set up at Mount Sinai. It records in detail the sacrifices and purity regulations the priestly tribe of Levi was to carry out. It shows a sinful people the way to fellowship with a holy God.
What to watch for
Distinguish the meaning and differences among the five offerings (burnt, grain, peace, sin, and guilt offerings).
Notice how far into everyday life the command 'be holy' reaches.
Meditate on how the sacrificial system—forgiveness of sin through the shedding of blood—points to the cross of Jesus.
Where this book falls in the reading plan
In the app
Reading is where it starts, not where it stops.
Today's passage and devotional are yours to read here on the web. The app takes it from there — a place to write what stayed with you, receive a reflection on top of it, and watch the days add up.
A reflection arrives on what you wrote
Write what stayed with you, and a paragraph comes back — read against the passage you just finished. It does not lecture, and it does not grade you.
Your devotions gather into a record
What you write and what comes back stay on the calendar. Your streak is counted for you, and any past devotion opens again whenever you want it.
Today's verse on your lock screen
The widget puts the day's passage up each morning, so you read it once more in passing without opening anything.
160 topical series and a reading plan
Start wherever you are — 'weakness', 'waiting'. The one-year Bible reading plan, a Proverb a day, and the anonymous prayer box are all in there too.
