leviticus

__**LEVITICUS**__ Leviticus contains regulations for worship and religous ceremonies in ancient Israel, and for the priests who were responsible for carrying out those instructions. The main theme of the book is the holiness of God and the ways in which his people were to worship and live so as to maintain their relationship with "the holy God of Israel".The best known words from the book, found in 19.18, are those which Jesus called the second great comandment : "love your neighbour as yourself."
