Lev 6:8 | TNotes | STEP | Summary for Lev 6:8-13: 6:8–7:38 The regulations in 1:2–6:7 include instructions for both priest and layperson. This section adds detail regarding the rights and obligations of the officiating priest. Because the tribe of Levi had been allotted no land for farming (Deut 18:1 ; Josh 13:14 , 33 ), priests depended on the offering system for their income. The concern was that priests be adequately provided for. Like many human institutions, this system was eventually abused (1 Sam 2:12-25 ; Hos 4:8 ).
