Let My people go that they may serve
Me"
As God's children today we have learned
through this great show of power that
ultimately it will require "active obedience" to
receive salvation from the "One True God."
Looking back over the instructions that were
given to Pharaoh to "let my people go that
they may serve me", this principle is
manifest throughout. Service to the Lord is
the requirement of His people, and the
blessing for this show of obedience and
sacrifice is the ultimate salvation not only
from physical death but from spiritual death
as well.
Results of the Ten Plagues
The Israelites were not only allowed to
leave the land of Egypt, but were
commanded by Pharaoh to do so (Exodus
12:31). The Bible says that there were
600,000 men, besides children, who left
that night (Exodus 12:37). They left
enriched by the Egyptians (Exodus 12:33,
36). This ended 430 years of the Children
of Israel living in the land of Egypt (Exodus
12:40, 41).

Israel camped before the mount
Israel is now at Mount
Sinai
Same as Mount Horeb
Remember what God
Told Moses on his way
to Egypt:
• Read Exodus 3:12- And
he said, Certainly I
will be with thee; and
this shall be a token
unto thee, that I have
sent thee: When thou
hast brought forth the
people out of Egypt,
ye shall serve God
upon this mountain.
Reference: Exodus 15-19 Sinai (Exo. 19)
Note the times when the Israelites
have murmured:
– When they reached the Red Sea and saw
Pharaoh’s army approaching
– When they reached Marah and the water
was bitter
– When their food was gone at the time
they got to the Wilderness of Sin
– When they found no water at Rephidim
They did not rely on Jehovah to care
for them when they were in need.
Has human nature changed since
then?

Same place God spoke to Moses from
the burning bush (3:12)
God’s awesome presence on the
Mount
Thunder rumbled, lighting flashed, a
thick cloud around them, a loud
trumpet blast
34

day of the first month
In the third month, they arrived at Mt.
Sinai
The giving of the law took about 3 months
Moses was on the mount for two 40-day
periods
The next 6 months were spent building the
tabernacle, and its furnishings
37
Moses carefully documented
the dates of important events
The Israelites left Mount Sinai on

The book of the covenant was written
by Moses and read to the people
(24:4, 7)
The people said, “All that the Lord
hath said will we do, and be
obedient.” (24:7)
Now, Israel becomes a nation with
laws, rules and regulations
39
The laws dealt with all areas of life
The tabernacle was created by God as a
visual reminder of God’s presence
The tabernacle housed their sacred things
It provided a way for sacrifices to be offered
in an orderly manner
God gave Moses the “blueprint” and the
people followed it exactly in making the
parts and in erecting the building itself
A cloud covered it by day and a fire by night
40
The tabernacle was set up on the 1st
day of the 1st month of the 2nd year
Israel was sinful and needed a way of
being reconciled to God
God designed a priesthood to mediate
between Him and the people
Blood sacrifices were offered to take care
of their sins
Special “Feasts” were set up to remember
the things God had done for the Israelites
“Be ye holy for I the Lord am holy” (Lev. 20:7)
41
The priesthood:
Aaron anointed as the High Priest
His sons were consecrated as priests
Special garments were made “for glory
and for beauty”
Sacrifices were controlled by the priests
They were to preserve the law and teach
it to the children of Israel
The Levites later assigned to help them
42
The priests offered sacrifices for
themselves, then for the people
The second Passover observed –
Exactly one year since the first Passover
was instituted in Egypt
At twilight on the 14th day of the first
month
A reminder that the Israelite’s first-borns
were saved (passed over) while death came
to the Egyptian’s first-borns
The Feast of Unleaved Bread followed
Each family had to participate in the Passover
43
The people were numbered and organized
Males, age 20 and above, who could go to war
Levites, males one month old and up, were
counted separately
Levites assigned the immediate area around
the tabernacle
Twelve tribes encircled the tabernacle
Only Levites age 25-50 could serve
in the tabernacle (Num. 8:24)
44
How to build the tent-structure called the
“Tabernacle” – Ex.25-31
All that would be associated with the
service of the tabernacle
The design and materials
The furnishings
The garments of the priests and High
Priest
All these things were object-lessons or
types of something better that was
spiritual in nature – Heb.8-9; Col.2:17
God stressed that all things must be
done “according to the pattern” –
25:9,40
The pattern of information was
understood and carried out by the
Israelites, led and supervised by
Bezalel and Oholiab – 31:1-11;
35:30-35
The people offered the materials that
went into the making of the
tabernacle
Each Tribe Would Be Designated A Specific Location to Camp Around
The Tabernacle. God and His House Had To Be At The CENTER
God’s Dwelling Among His People
A Type of Jesus: Our Meeting-place with
God
In Christ we reconcile with God
In Christ we come to God
In Christ we meet with God
A Type of Christ’s church: where holy
people in a holy place or realm are adjoined
to Heaven
Hebrews chapters 9 and 10- All sacrifices
could not take away sin, only Christ’s blood
offered once for all. Must come in contact
with that blood in baptism.
The tabernacle illustrated the concept of the
separateness and holiness of God.
He was inside a special place and sinful man is
excluded from His presence
Man approaches through a process of cleansing
It typified a veiled connection between God and
His church – Hebrews 9:23-24
It illustrated the concept of the Presence of God
as near His people. Rev.15:5
It illustrated the desire of God to dwell with
mankind.
The tabernacle illustrated that God
provides a suitable place for man to meet
with Him. Ex.25:21-22
God was IN CHRIST reconciling the world
unto Himself – 2 Cor.5:19; Col.2:9
God was “tabernacled” in Jesus’ body –
Heb.10:5; John 1:14 –the word “dwelt”
By meeting with Jesus we meet with God
– John 14:6; 1 Tim.2:5
The connection, fellowship, togetherness, and
relationship of the “Most Holy Place”(heaven) with
the “Holy Place” (the kingdom or church) –
Eph.2:19f
Spiritual blessings are enjoyed only in the church
of Christ. One gets to the Most Holy Place
(heaven) only through the church, the body of
Christ.
The church is not a physical building. It is a people
in a “heavenly place” (a spiritual realm).
This realm or heavenly place is “in Christ”.
Eph.1:3,10,20; 2:6; 3:10
The physical tabernacle was designed to typify
the heavenly things in Christ
The Center of Israel’s Camp – Num.1:50;
2:17; 11:24-25
The church is spiritually gathered
around Jesus – Matt.18:20
Jesus is at the center of our lives and
the church is gathered around the cross
as central to our life and behavior. 1
Cor.1-2
The Place Where God’s Law Was Preserved
– Deut.10:2-5
Jesus kept the Law stored in His heart –
Psa.40:8
God’s Law is retained in Christ – James
4:12; Eph.1:19-22; 5:23-24
Was not just a tent
Was an instrument
through which to plant
concepts of redemption
and illustrate the
heavenly plan God
would one day bring
about in Jesus
God guided them in
their travels by cloud
and fire. It is obvious
to the people God is in
their midst.

Importance of Obedience (26)
Seriousness of Vows (27)- if you vow a
vow do not defer keeping it.
Leviticus is a book of sacrifice and
blood. Many today want bloodless
religion and salvation without sacrifice.
Yom Kippur- Day of Atonement (v. 30) -45
times in book the word “atonement” Ps.
51:16,17; Heb. 10:1-18
Vs. 20-28- the scapegoat
 Celebration of the covering of national sins
by offering of two goats unto God. One
killed and the other driven from the camp
into the wilderness. The priest enters the
holy of holies to offer the blood of the slain
goat to God. When he came out the people
knew their sins were covered for another
year. See Heb. 9:14- Christ- once offered.

Exodus ends with the erection of the
Tabernacle. Leviticus is given to show
the law given to the nation (nations must
have laws).Fulfillment of Ex. 19:6- “a
kingdom of priests and a holy nation”.
Four themes- 1. The presence of God in
Israelite worship. The repetition of the
phrase “before the Lord” and “unto the
Lord.” 1:9,13,17).
Concept of Holiness- “be holy for I am holy”
11:44,45; 19:2; 20:28. term holy and
sanctified appears 152 times in the book.
Sacrifice- 40 times
Priest- 190 times

Atonement- 45 times
Profane- 14 times
Clean- about 74 times – unclean- 132 times
The Role of Sacrifice- Heb. 9:22- “almost
all things are by the law purged with
blood; and w/o the shedding of blood is
no remission.” The first 17 chapters
explain procedures for proper, acceptable
sacrifice.
4TH- Covenant- explains how covenant
worship should be conducted (1-17) how
covenant people should behave(18-25)
closes w/blessings and cursings (26). Last
verse- “these are the statutes and
judgments and laws…”( v. 46).
What did they do wrong? 10:1-7See Lev. 16:12
Are we priests today?
See 1 Peter 2:5,9
What are the lessons we learn from the
sin of Nadab and Abihu?
Does it matter to God how we do
something or just that we “get it done”?
FIVE EXPRESSIONS
THROUGH SACRIFICE:
BURNT OFFERING ... Commitment to God
MEAT (Grain) OFFERING ... Gratitude /
Acknowledgement that all you have is from God
PEACE OFFERING ... The direction of your life is
acceptable to God and full of satisfaction
SIN OFFERING ... Forgiveness for human
weakness and mistakes
TRESPASS OFFERING ... Forgiveness for
specific sins
The Bronze Altar
Several kinds of offerings were made on the
bronze altar:





Burnt offering (bull, sheep, goats without
blemish, or birds) (Leviticus 1:1-17)
Grain offering (Leviticus 2:1-16)
Peace offering (goat or lamb) (Lev. 3:1-17)
Sin offering (bull, goat, or lamb) (Lev. 4:1-35)
Trespass offering (female of the flock, lamb,
goat kid, bird or grain) (Lev. 5 & 6)
The Bronze Altar
The Sacrifice was necessary for forgiveness.
The blood of the animal was important to
justify the people before God.



A proper sacrifice was an animal that
was valuable and perfect, not flawed.
Sin was serious. Only shed blood which
stands for life, could pay for sin.
By laying his hand on it, the person
identified with the animal sacrificed.
Covers personal sins –Lev.5:1-13
In matters of being a responsible
witness of oaths – 1
In matters of accidental uncleanness
-2-3
In matters of thoughtless oaths – 4ff
Covers sins in regard to holy things
such as sacrifices, tithes, atonement
money, etc v.14-19
Covers sins in regard to property of
others. 6:1-7
For Sins Regarding Holy Things of the
Lord (Leviticus 5:15-16 )
If a soul commit a trespass, and sin
through ignorance, in the holy things of
the LORD;
Perhaps in not giving what he should, when
he should, or how he should in sacrifices,
atonement money, gifts, and offerings to the
Lord or His priests
then he shall bring for his trespass unto
the LORD a ram without blemish out of
the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels
of silver, after the shekel of the
sanctuary, for a trespass offering:
A ram + a fine in the amount estimated by the
priests for what he owed.
For Sins Regarding Holy Things of the
Lord (Leviticus 5:15-16 )
And he shall make amends for the harm
that he hath done in the holy thing, and
shall add the fifth part thereto, and give
it unto the priest:
20% interest is added for restitution
and the priest shall make an atonement
for him with the ram of the trespass
offering, and it shall be forgiven him.
The blood was sprinkled on the sides of
the altar instead of the horns to indicate
that this offering was for trespass sins.
The blood of the trespass offering put a
band-aid on the conscience and sent the
trespasser back to the one he had
wronged, not only with the principal but
with the fifth part added.
The injurer is forgiven and the
injured gains more than he lost.
While our offering is in Jesus,
sin
must always be dealt with in confession so
that payment can be made through Him. Forgiveness is NEVER to be assumed to be
automatic without repentance and
confession and restitution where possible
Sin must always be addressed; the gift of
God in Jesus clears us when we “confess our
sins”
Confession must come from a pentitent,
contrite heart
The offering for sins is completed in
Christ
The repentance and confession of
sins is never finished on our part
until we die (1 John 1:7-9)

JESUS FULFILLED THE GUILT
OFFERING (Leviticus 5)

JESUS FULFILLED EVERY SACRIFICE
FOR US!
In John’s Epistle, we see the
five-fold view of the work of Christ
1) Burnt Offering (
8,16; 4:10) - The
offering that was all upon God’s altar (
), wholly consumed with love for God and us
2) Meal and Peace Offering (
) - The
thought of fellowship and joy (i.e., the priest
partook of “the food of the offering,” (
); “the bread of his God,” (
)
so we can say, “Truly our fellowship is with the
Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ” (
).
3) Sin and Trespass Offering (
)Here we have God’s provision for sin through
“the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us
from all sin” (
).
