These are often studied and discussed alongside the blessings and the curses of Deuteronomy (chapters 27 and 28). Are these two accounts of the same lists? Do they contain similarities?

Leviticus 19-20, which comprises what scholars refer to as the Holiness Code contains several laws that are connected to laws from the Decalogue. Several other passages also relate laws that bear a resemblance to those we find in the Decalogue. These Decalogue texts form a sort of Decalogue constellation. In this video, I work through […]

This class is based on material found in Leviticus 8, 9, and 10. In chapter eight, Aaron and his sons are consecrated for their role as priests. This involves an anointing ceremony from which all later “messiah” studies must be based. In the Pentateuch, only the priest was anointed and therefore referred to as hacohen […]
