Leviticus is the book containing a great amount of legislative commandments, filled with rules and laws, precepts and decrees. As the book concludes, "These are the precepts, decrees and laws which the Lord had Moses promulgate on Mount Sinai in the pact between himself and the Israelites."
While some may find these laws confusing or harsh, I find it very enlightening. Sure, I don't fully understand all the rules. But the simple fact that God gave the rules to his people is beyond amazing. God doesn't just expect man to know everything, so God guides man. He gives them free will, but then also guides us in how to use our free will in the best way possible. We are not slaves, but we choose to do what is pleasing to God, and thus ultimately pleasing to us.
