Hey sis! Welcome to the Leviticus Companion Library, your companion resource designed to help you study the book of Leviticus in context and discover God's call to holiness, true worship, and life in His presence. Whether you're using the Bible Study Corner™ Guided Bible Companion, studying on your own, or teaching others, you'll find tools here to help you dig deeper into God's Word with confidence.
This page is filled with carefully selected resources to help you understand not only what Leviticus says, but why it matters. As you study the sacrifices, the priesthood, the festivals, the laws of purity, and the Day of Atonement, you'll discover that these chapters are far more than a list of ancient regulations. They reveal God's holiness, His provision for atonement, and His desire to dwell among a people set apart for Him. Most importantly, you'll see how every sacrifice, every priestly duty, and every offering points forward to Jesus Christ-our perfect High Priest, our spotless sacrificial Lamb, and the once-for-all atonement for our sins.
My prayer is that these resources encourage you to slow down, open your Bible, and grow in your understanding of God's holiness and His incredible grace. Leviticus isn't simply a book of laws; it's a beautiful picture of a holy God making a way for sinful people to draw near to Him through the sacrifice that would one day be perfectly fulfilled in Christ.

They're not required to use these resources, but they're filled with thoughtfully organized study tools, historical background, key themes, and beautiful pages that save you time and make a wonderful addition to your Bible study.
But First... Pray
Prayer Before Studying Leviticus
Heavenly Father,
As I open the book of Leviticus, I ask You to open my heart and my mind to Your truth. Thank You for preserving Your Word so that I can know You more deeply and understand Your holy character.
As I read, help me see more than laws, sacrifices, and ceremonies. Show me Your holiness, Your justice, Your mercy, and Your desire to dwell among Your people. Teach me that every command reveals something about who You are and what it means to live a life set apart for Your glory.
Reveal the ways this book points to Jesus- our perfect High Priest, our spotless sacrificial Lamb, and the once-for-all atonement for our sins. Give me wisdom to understand these Scriptures in their proper context and a humble heart that is willing to be transformed by what I learn.
Help me not to rush through these pages, but to slow down, ask good questions, and delight in discovering the richness of Your Word. May this study deepen my reverence for Your holiness, strengthen my desire to walk in obedience, and draw me into a closer relationship with You.
Thank You that because of Jesus, I can confidently draw near to You- not because of my own righteousness, but because of His perfect sacrifice. May everything I learn lead me to worship You more fully and to live a life that reflects Your holiness and grace.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
Start Here
Before diving into Leviticus, I encourage you to watch the BibleProject overview of the book. In just a few minutes, you'll gain a big-picture understanding of Leviticus- its structure, major themes, purpose, and how it fits into God's unfolding plan of redemption. Since Leviticus can feel intimidating at first, watching the overview beforehand will help you see that this book is far more than a collection of laws. It's a powerful picture of God's holiness, His provision for atonement, and His desire to dwell among His people. It will also help you recognize how the sacrifices, priesthood, and festivals all point forward to Jesus Christ as you work through your Bible Study Corner™ Guided Bible Companion.
Once you've finished the video, open your Bible and begin reading Leviticus. Then come back here to explore the companion resources, charts, timelines, word studies, and bonus study tools designed to help you dig even deeper into God's Word and discover the beauty of a book that ultimately reveals the heart of the gospel.
Begin Reading
Now that you've watched the overview, it's time to dive into God's Word. Before exploring the additional resources below, we are going to start reading the book of Leviticus in your Bible. Resist the urge to rush ahead or rely only on study notes. Spend time observing the text for yourself, asking questions, and noticing repeated themes like holiness, sacrifice, atonement, worship, cleansing, and God's desire to dwell with His people.
Start by opening the free commentary linked below, or use a commentary of your choice. As you read, remember that Leviticus is more than a book of ancient laws and rituals. It reveals the holiness of God, the seriousness of sin, and the gracious way He made for His people to draw near to Him. Most importantly, it points forward to Jesus Christ- our perfect High Priest, spotless sacrifice, and once-for-all atonement.
I personally take notes from the commentary that I feel are important to remember.
Take your time, pray as you read, and allow Scripture to speak before turning to outside resources.
