'''Leviticus''' is the third book of the [[Old Testament]]. The book is [[chiastically]] structured. The writings of the book were delivered by [[God]] in the space of a month, that month being the first of the second year after the [[Hebrew]] exodus from [[Egypt]].{{fact}} Most of Leviticus is filled with laws and codes, but these codes are not literal--they represent the foreshadowing of the coming of [[Jesus Christ]] and most specifically the [[crucifixion]]. It serves as a gospel of the grace of God and the holiness of God's people.{{fact}}
