Leviticus
Leviticus is the third book of the Hebrew Bible. The English name is gotten from the Latin Liber Leviticus and the Greek. In Jewish compositions it is standard to refer to the book by its first word, Vayikra, "and He called." The book is principally worried about strict guidelines, holy custom, and criminal regulation. It comprises of two huge areas, recognized by researchers as the Priestly Code and the Holiness Code. Both of these are introduced as being directed by God to Moses while the Israelites were settled at Mount Sinai. Notwithstanding the English title of the work, it is vital to take note of that the book makes a solid qualification between the organization, who are recognized as being slid from Aaron, and simple Levites, with whom it is less concerned.
Attentive Jews actually keep the regulations contained in Leviticus, with the exception of those that can as of now not be noticed due to the annihilation of the Temple of Jerusalem as the main approved spot of penance.
Christians by and large believe a lot of Leviticus to be non-restricting on them as individuals from the New Covenant started by Jesus. In any case, a large number of the moral and common regulations contained in Leviticus have become super durable pieces of the Christian-based western moral and lawful custom.
Leviticus is a wellspring of two of the Bible's most renowned colloquialisms. One is regularly utilized as a negative rundown of antiquated Jewish practice: "tit for tat, tooth for tooth." Lev. 24:20 The other, amusingly, is an idiom advocated by Jesus and frequently considered something contrary to Old Testament regulation: "Love your neighbor as yourself"
