Leviticus 17 Bible Study - The Life is in the Blood (Holiness Code)

In this Bible Study, we unpack Leviticus chapter 17 in which we do a deep dive into Blood, from both a physical side as well as the spiritual side (as the instrument of atonement for our sins). In Leviticus 17.11 we get the entire point of the Gospel message, “the life is in the blood… I have given it to you to make atonement…”

Any and all sacrifices were to be done at the tabernacle.

08:43 - Leviticus 17.3 - is it sacrifice or slaughter? T here is an interesting disparity between the translations, which can change the meaning, but if you read in the context, I think the Bible gives us a clear answer.
Hebrew word: שָׁחַט šāḥaṭ “Shawkhat” - To kill, slay, slaughter, or offer (sacrifice)
Leviticus 17.5 & 7 - שָׂעִיר śāʿîr or se'irim literally translates (hairy ones), sometimes it is translated in the KJV as Goat, Kid, Devil, Satyr. Other verses mentioned Exodus 32 as well as chapters 7-12 and Deuteronomy 12.15.
