Study 12 From The Book of Leviticus Is:
Leviticus 17
There are two main instructions in this
portion: first, that all domestic animals which are to be killed shall be
brought to the Tabernacle (verse 3-9); and second, that no blood must be eaten
(verses 10-16). The former of these
instructions points to a time when animals were not killed except in connection
with worship of some kind.
1. What would this first
instruction (verses 3-9) teach Israel about God? Where is it suggested in these
verses that this instruction is directed against idolatrous worship?
2. Why was the eating of blood so
strictly forbidden? See verse 11 in particular.
What is the significance of this for us?
