THE TORAH
LEVITICUS
VAYIKRA
Leviticus (Vayikra in Hebrew), the third book in the Torah (First five books of Moses). Vayikra or Leviticus means “And G-d Called.”
Be enlightened in this book, that G-d is holy. Thus, requires him who comes or approaches G-d must be holy. Given this instruction, the Kohanim (Priests) are called to be intermediaries between G-d and the Children of Israel.
Offerings or sacrifices are elaborated in great lengths in the entire book of Leviticus. Now, does this aligns with how Jesus was offered? Let’s find out…

Speak to Aaron and his sons, that they shall withdraw from the holies of the Children of Israel – that which they sanctify to Me – so as not to desecrate My holy Name, I am Hashem.
22:2
He shall not eat from a carcass or from a torn animal, to be contaminated through it – I am Hashem.

No layman shall eat of the holy; one who resides with a Kohen or his laborer shall not eat of the holy.
:10
They shall not desecrate the holies of the Children of Israel, which they set aside to Hashem;
:15
… Any man of the House of Israel and of the proselytes among Israel who will bring his offering for any of their vows or their free-will offerings that they will bring to Hashem for a burnt-offering; to be favorable for you; [it must be] unblemished, male, from the cattle, the flock, or the goats.

1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that they shall separate themselves from the holy [sacrifices] of the children of Israel, which they sanctify to Me, so as not to desecrate My Holy Name. I am the Lord.
3 Say to them: Throughout your generations, any man among any of your offspring who, while his defilement is still upon him, comes near to the holy sacrifices that the children of Israel consecrate to the Lord that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am the Lord.
4 Any man whatsoever among Aaron’s offspring if he has tzara’ath or has had a discharge, he shall not eat of the holy sacrifices, until he cleanses himself. And one who touches anyone who has become unclean [by contact with a dead] person, or a man from whom semen issued,
5 or a man who touches any creeping creature through which he becomes unclean or a person through whom he becomes unclean, whatever his uncleanness
6 the person who touches it shall remain unclean until evening, and he shall not eat from the holy things unless he has immersed his flesh in water.
7 When the sun sets, he becomes clean, and afterwards, he may eat of the holy things, for it is his food.
8 He shall not eat a carcass or anything that was torn, thereby becoming unclean through it. I am the Lord.
9 They shall keep My charge and not bear a sin by [eating] it [while unclean] and thereby die through it since they will have desecrated it. I am the Lord Who sanctifies them.
10 No non kohen may eat holy things; a kohen’s resident and his hireling may not eat holy things.
11 And if a kohen acquires a person, an acquisition through his money, he may eat of it, and those born in his house they may eat of his food.
12 And if a kohen’s daughter is married to a non kohen, she may [no longer] eat of the separated holy things.
13 But if the kohen’s daughter becomes widowed or divorced, and she has no offspring she may return to her father’s household as in her youth [and] eat of her father’s food, but no non kohen may eat of it.
14 And if a man unintentionally eats what is holy, he shall add a fifth of it to it and give the kohen the holy thing.
15 And they shall not desecrate the holy things of the children of Israel, those that they have set aside for the Lord,
16 thereby bringing upon themselves to bear iniquity and guilt, when they eat their holy things, for I am the Lord Who sanctifies them.
17 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
18 Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel and say to them: Any man whatsoever from the house of Israel or from the strangers among Israel who offers up his sacrifice for any of their vows or for any of their donations that they may offer up to the Lord as a burnt offering
19 to be favorable for you, [it shall be] an unblemished, male, from cattle, from sheep, or from goats.
20 Any [animal] that has a blemish, you shall not offer up, for it will not be favorable for you.
21 And if a man offers up a peace offering to the Lord for declaring a vow or as a donation from cattle or from the flock to be accepted, it shall be unblemished. It shall not have any defect in it.
22 [An animal that has] blindness, or [a] broken [bone], or [a] split [eyelid or lip], or [one that has] warts, or dry lesions or weeping sores you shall not offer up [any of] these to the Lord, nor shall you place [any] of these as a fire offering upon the altar to the Lord.
23 As for an ox or sheep that has mismatching limbs or uncloven hooves you may make it into a donation, but as a vow, it will not be accepted.
24 [Any animal whose testicles were] squashed, crushed, pulled out, or severed, you shall not offer up to the Lord, and in your land, you shall not do [it].
25 And from the hand of a gentile you shall not offer up as food for your God any of these [blemished animals], for their injury is upon them, there is a defect on them; they will not be accepted for you.
26 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
27 When an ox or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall remain under its mother for seven days, and from the eighth day onwards, it shall be accepted as a sacrifice for a fire offering to the Lord.
28 An ox or sheep you shall not slaughter it and its offspring in one day._
29 And when you slaughter a thanksgiving offering to the Lord, you shall slaughter it so that it should be acceptable for you.
30 It shall be eaten on that day; do not leave it over until morning. I am the Lord.
31 You shall keep My commandments and perform them. I am the Lord.
32 You shall not desecrate My Holy Name. I shall be sanctified amidst the children of Israel. I am the Lord Who sanctifies you,
33 Who took you out of the land of Egypt, to be a God to you. I am the Lord.

TORAH
(Law)
The book of Deuteronomy, also known as Devarim in Hebrew (“Words”), is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. It contains a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites, just before they are about to enter the promised land, which summarize and expand upon many of the laws and commandments given in the earlier books of the Torah. The word Deuteronomy literally means “second law,” indicating that Moses is rehearsing the law with the Israelites before they enter the land.
The book is often seen as a sort of farewell address by Moses, containing some of his final instructions and blessings to the people he has led for many years. It emphasizes the importance of following G-d’s commandments and remaining faithful to Him, while warning against the dangers of disobedience and idolatry. Overall, Deuteronomy serves as a significant text in the history of Judaism and Christianity, containing many of the foundational beliefs and values of these religions.
