Sacrificial System (Paden) – Course Study Guide (Print)

An in-depth study of the Levitical sacrificial system by Gerald Paden.

In this study of the Sacrificial System, we want to give an explanation of the different kinds of prophecy that the Old Testament contains. Then we will study the concept of Typology; and then, we want to present the study of the sacrifices as a kind of foreshadowing of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

INTRODUCTION
In our introductory lesson to the Sacrificial System, we want to give an explanation of the different kinds of prophecy that the Old Testament contains. Then we will study the concept of Typology; and then, we want to present the study of the sacrifices as a kind of foreshadow of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Exodus is a prelude to Leviticus. Leviticus begins with the word “and” showing it to be a unit with Exodus. Exodus closes out the primary stage of the Hebrew history and begins the story of God’s legislation over His people through the Law.

• A. We begin with Exodus 19:5 where God makes Israel His “kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.
• B. In Exodus 20 God gave the Law of Moses, of which the Ten Commandments formed the foundation – with 613 other laws, statutes, ordinances, and commandments added.
• C. The rest of Exodus defined the building of the Tabernacle, the ordination of the priests of Levi and the initial definition of the sacrifices they were to offer.
