Leviticus 15

• This is a discharge from a man that makes him unclean chapter. It also takes about a woman's period and how that makes her unclean. I think the key verse here is that you can die in your uncleanliness. That's why you have to separate yourself from the things that are unclean. I think this carries over into the new testament where you dispel the immoral person from the church. You have to keep the church clean spiritually as much as you can.

Leviticus 16

• The rules for the scapegoat. It is very interesting how the goat goes free but is carrying the sin of the Israelites with it. The key part is the Israelites have to confess their sin. It doesn't say to whom they confess the sin to, but I am sure it was to someone that was in their life on a regular basis. To confess for the sake of confess to a stranger wouldn't be beneficial.

Leviticus 17

• Some rules on sacrifices... mainly pertaining to eating the blood of the animal and where the animal is to be sacrificed. Violations of these rules would mean that you would be cut off from the people of Israel. And it doesn't give a way of how to be restored back to the people of Israel.

Leviticus 18

• You defile yourself by having sexual relations with family members, members of your extended family or animals, you get cut off from the people of Israel. That is this chapter in a nut shell.

Leviticus 19

• I think probably the most key scripture in the entire Bible is here in verse 2. Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy. Does that not just sum up the whole Bible right there? Everything else centers around that whole verse. I could write a book on that verse alone.
• This chapter is full of what not to do and some things of what to do. Another key verse in here says to love your neighbor as yourself, something Jesus would say several times.
