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…

Leviticus Chapter 3 Lays Details of Peace-offerings on How it is to be Conducted — Not to Miss the Prohibited Part
From Bereishit (Genesis) The Commandment, “Not to Eat Blood” Is Mentioned (9:4). And It Is Repeatedly And Explicitly Written In The Torah.
*But sadly and as usual, the Greek book – goes against it in the gospel: “Drink My Blood.”
Whatever the excuse or explanation is, even a 5-year old kid can tell that it is a clear mockery of G-d’s direct commandment, “Not To Eat/Drink Blood.”
Adding, “Eat My Flesh” gets even worst. Both are nowhere commanded by G-d in the Torah; but are abominations against Him!
“Peace-offering”
If his offering is a feast peace-offering, if he offers it from the cattle – whether male of female – unblemished shall he offer it before Hashem.
3:1
… the sons of Aaron, the Kohanim, shall throw the blood upon the Altar, all around.
3:2, 8 & 13
From the feast peace-offering he shall offer as a fire-offering to Hashem: the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is upon the innards;
3:3
and the two kidneys with the fat that is upon them, that is upon the flanks, and he shall remove the diaphragm with the liver, with the kidneys.
:4
An eternal decree for your generations in all your dwelling places; you may not consume any fat or any blood.
:17
1 If his sacrifice is a peace offering, if he brings it from cattle, whether male or female, unblemished he shall bring it before the Lord.
2 And he shall lean his hand [forcefully] upon the head of his sacrifice and slaughter it at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. And Aaron’s descendants, the kohanim, shall dash the blood upon the altar, around.
3 And from the peace offering, he shall bring a fire offering to the Lord [comprised of]: the fat covering the innards and all the fat that is on the innards,
4 and the two kidneys [along] with the fat that is upon them which is over the flanks. And he shall remove the diaphragm with the liver, along with the kidneys.
5 And Aaron’s descendants shall cause it to [go up in] smoke on the altar, apart from the burnt offering, which is on top of the wood that is on the fire; [it is] a fire offering [with] a pleasing fragrance to the Lord.
6 And if his sacrifice for a peace offering to the Lord is from the flock, whether male or female, unblemished he shall bring it.
7 If he brings a sheep as his sacrifice, then he shall bring it before the Lord.
8 And he shall lean his hand [forcefully] upon the head of his sacrifice, and slaughter it before the Tent of Meeting. And Aaron’s descendants shall dash its blood upon the altar, around.
9 And from the peace offering, he shall bring a fire offering to the Lord [comprised of] its choicest part the complete tail, which he shall remove opposite the kidneys, and the fat covering the innards and all the fat which is on the innards,
10 and the two kidneys [along] with the fat that is upon them, which is over the flanks. And he shall remove the diaphragm with the liver, along with the kidneys.
11 And the kohen shall cause it to [go up in] smoke on the altar, as food for the fire, to the Lord.
12 And if his sacrifice is a goat, he shall bring it before the Lord,
13 and he shall lean his hand [forcefully] upon its head and slaughter it before the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron’s descendants shall dash its blood upon the altar, around.
14 And from it, he shall bring his offering a fire offering to the Lord [comprised of] the fat covering the innards, and all the fat which is on the innards,
15 and the two kidneys with the fat that is upon them, which is over the flanks. And he shall remove the diaphragm with the liver; along with the kidneys he shall remove it.
16 And the kohen shall cause it to [go up in] smoke on the altar, consumed as a fire offering, [with] a pleasing fragrance. All [sacrificial] fat belongs to the Lord.
17 [This is] an eternal statute for all your generations, in all your dwelling places: You shall not eat any fat or any blood.

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.
