The Old Testament readings for February focus on Leviticus and Numbers, portions of what are known as the "Holiness Code." This is a portion of the Old Testament people tend to skip over, but these chapters are fundamental for setting Israel apart as a people. Their intent is to establish guidelines for an orderly life for Israel, by setting forth rituals for community worship as well as directives on personal life.
Think about the unspoken rules and guidelines we follow in our community and personal life as you read through these verses which sometimes appear to be particularly rigid.
