The book of Leviticus provides us with a complete Christology; Jesus Christ is presented throughout this book as a type; His work and person are the antitype.
Updated March 18, 2024
An early exegesis of the book of Leviticus was attempted by me in the late 1990's. (HTML) (PDF) (WPD). 262 pages.
This document links you to the chapter-by-chapter study of Leviticus. The links to this document are: (HTML) (PDF) (WPD) (Folder).
So far, the 1st and 2nd draft exegesis of this project is 2399 pages.
Still in 1st draft status: Leviticus 13; 2nd draft status: Leviticus 1–12.
I have tried to reduce the amount of commentary on certain sections of Leviticus, as it can be very detailed and tedious. However, there are still very important chapters in this book. Furthermore, this book is additional evidence that Moses wrote the books of the Law (Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy) and not some unnamed group of men hundreds of years later.
The exegesis of these books will not put before you a bunch of brand new doctrines which are different from those already delivered by orthodox Christianity; that is, a study of this book is not going to upend your doctrinal foundation, or get you interested in joining a cult of some sort; these questions have doctrinal answers and fit in very well with the essential doctrines that we have learned and have believed in (see the Doctrinal Statement).
As an aside, even though I have attended Berachah Church for over 40 years, these are not my notes re-worked from R. B. Thieme, Jr.’s excellent teaching. On many chapters, I sometimes refer back to my old notes from that class to make certain that I did not leave anything out; but R. B. Thieme, Jr. did not cover most of the material included here (at least, not during the time that his lessons were recorded and distributed). And, as always, the bulk of this study is original, sometimes with view toward contemporary events used as illustrations. There are a great many things in these chapters that Bob did not cover. However, the theology is essentially the same.
So far, these are the documents in my word-by-word, chapter-by-chapter analysis of Leviticus.

PDF files (WP converts the original document into a pdf format)
A possible problem with the following pdf files is, they are quite large and they may not display on computers with limited memory (a typical chapter will be 200–300 pages long). If that is the case, then you should be able to right-click the link, choose save as, and put the file on your hard drive and open it there using Adobe Acrobat Reader. That will give you a complete view of the graphics and the Hebrew characters. However, since WordPerfect now properly prints out Hebrew words (reading from right to left), HTML files also properly display the Hebrew characters, but the PDF files read left to right. In older documents, I placed each letter where it belonged by typesetting, and WP and PDF would display properly (but this would not transfer to HTML documents). For most people, this does not mean anything, but I did have one person who noticed the problem in the PDF documents.

Word Perfect Documents (these documents were created in WordPerfect)
The following documents will open up on your computer, either into WordPerfect or into Word (although the formatting might be a little funky in Word). If you download one of these documents from my website and it downloads with a different extension (like *.htm), simply change the extension. If you are doing many files, you may want to use a program like Bulk Rename Utility.

Now and again, I have seen that I have made some mistakes in spelling as well as in the morphology (I took the information from Owens, but changed it whenever there was a mistake in his work). If you discover mistakes, then I would want to know what they are so that I could change them and update the documents. I enjoy studying the Word of God, but I so hate to proofread.
For most chapters, the original wpd (WordPerfect document) is also available online. Just go to http://kukis.org/Leviticus/, right click, and choose save as. These documents will open in WordPerfect and sometimes in Word (although that is a semi-dicey proposition). Each document (chapter) is typically around 100–300 pages.
