Called From the Tent

We begin our yearly reading plan with Genesis, but quickly become discouraged when we reach Leviticus. Why? Because we view this work as a list of detailed rules of "thou shalts" and "thou shalt nots" or deep discussions for the priestly tribes. However, the Hebrew title "Yahweh called to Moses from the tent..." reminds us that this book offers us insight into our relationship with God. What does it mean to be "called by God?" "What is holinesss?" and "What is worship?" are all questions that help us not only understand this book, but understand our relationship with Yahweh.
