Leviticus 1:1-2: The Law Concerning Offerings

This passage begins the laws about offerings. It assumes that people will want to bring gifts and sacrifices to God, because even nature teaches us to honor our Creator. God gave clear instructions so that people would not invent their own ways to worship. These rules made sure the sacrifices had meaning, pointing to the future sacrifice of Jesus and teaching believers how to offer true worship. God spoke these laws to Moses, not directly to the people, making Moses a picture of Christ who brings God’s message to us ( a). God spoke from the tabernacle, showing that it was a special place for meeting with Him. This also reminds us that through prayer and God’s word, we have fellowship with God today ( b).

v. 1: The Lord called to Moses and spoke to him from the tabernacle. This happened right after God’s glory filled the tabernacle, showing that He accepted their work and wanted to guide them further ( c).
