The book of Leviticus in the Bible presents more laws, statutes, and ordinances beyond those given in Genesis and Exodus. A new article released on the main site entitled Book of Leviticus and Ceremonial Law includes Hebrew words from the original manuscripts with explanations comparing Bible translations and modern English.

A review of verses about following instructions and the death of Nadab and Abihu stresses the importance of understanding God's expectations, and talks about the only time in Leviticus that God spoke directly to Aaron. Here's an excerpt from the article:

The rules and covenants broken often in the Old Testament were replaced by the new covenant when God offered His Son as a sacrifice for the atonement of sin.

This salvation by grace, freely given, replaces much of the law in the Old Testament and certainly the ceremonial offerings, yet it does not void all Old Testament law. The Ten Commandments are one exception that still apply.

In comparing Hebrew and English in Leviticus, clearer meaning is given to words translated into English over 400 years ago, and this article features more about their definition in current English. Readers are encouraged to read their Bible daily, and consider a Companion Bible or Strongs Concordance to review unfamiliar words. These Bible study resources allow you to search English words to learn details about the meaning in Hebrew, Aramaic, Chaldee of the Old Testament and Greek in the New Testament.
