'''Matthew Henry Consise Bible Commentary - on the book of Leviticus'''
[[God]] ordained divers kinds of oblations and sacrifices, to assure his people of the [[forgiveness]] of their offences, if they offered them in true [[faith]] and obedience. Also he appointed the priests and [[Levites]], their apparel, offices, conduct, and portion. He showed what feasts they should observe, and at what times. He declared by these sacrifices and ceremonies, that the reward of [[sin]] is death, and that without the blood of [[Christ]], the innocent Lamb of [[God]], there can be no forgiveness of sins.
