The book of Chronicles was initially been compiled into one scroll. Same with the book of Samuel and Kings. The central theme is the significance of God’s covenant with David and how it perfectly coexists and continues God’s covenant with Moses, Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham. And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted [ e]to the Lord, to be his atonement. Jews and Christians have not observed Leviticus's instructions for animal offerings since the 1st century AD, following the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD. As there was no longer a Temple at which to offer animal sacrifices, Judaism pivoted towards prayer and the study of the Torah, eventually giving rise to Rabbinic Judaism. Nevertheless, Leviticus constitutes a major source of Jewish law and is traditionally the first book children learn in the Rabbinic system of education. There are two main Midrashim on Leviticus—the halakhic one (Sifra) and a more aggadic one ( Vayikra Rabbah). The outlines from commentaries are similar, though not identical; compare those of Wenham, Hartley, Milgrom, and Watts. [6] [7] [8] [9]The Greeks in the city, though wronged in no way, when they saw an unexpected tumult around these people and the crowds that suddenly were forming, were not strong enough to help them, for they lived under tyranny. They did try to console them, being grieved at the situation, and expected that matters would change; 9 for such a great community ought not be left to its fate when it had committed no offence. 10 And already some of their neighbours, and friends and business associates had taken some of them aside privately and were pledging to protect them and to exert more earnest efforts for their assistance. The Book of Nahum is Nahum spoke about God’s judgment over Assyria. He spoke directly to the people of Nineveh and Judah, specifically with a message of doom to Nineveh and a message of hope and comfort to Judah. They were also experiencing the cruelty of the Assyrians and had seen how the Assyrians had plundered and exiled the Northern Kingdom. The English name Leviticus comes from the Latin Leviticus, which is in turn from the Ancient Greek: Λευιτικόν [3] ( Leuitikon), referring to the priestly tribe of the Israelites, " Levi". The Greek expression is in turn a variant of the rabbinic Hebrew torat kohanim, [4] "law of priests", as many of its laws relate to priests. [5] More Detail: Joshua is the sixth book of the Bible, and it continues the narrative story of the Torah. This book explores how God led Israel as a Warrior through the leadership of Joshua. It also includes their battles with the armies of Canaanites and how Joshua divides the land for the 12 tribes of Israel. The book concludes with Joshua’s final words and reminders for the people of Israel to be faithful to the commands of the Torah that they may experience life and blessings and show the other nation what it looks like to be a nation under Yahweh’s rule. Still, if they break the covenant and disobey the Torah, they will be exiled from the land.

Someone hatches a genocidal plot to bring about Israel’s extinction, and Esther must face the emperor to ask for help. The main function of the priests is service at the altar, and only the sons of Aaron are priests in the full sense. [26] (Ezekiel also distinguishes between altar-priests and lower Levites, but in Ezekiel the altar-priests are sons of Zadok instead of sons of Aaron; many scholars see this as a remnant of struggles between different priestly factions in First Temple times, finding resolution by the Second Temple into a hierarchy of Aaronite altar-priests and lower-level Levites, including singers, gatekeepers and the like.) [27] Book Summary: The book of Ezra emphasizes rebuilding God’s template through a restored covenant with the people.
