Summary of the Book of Leviticus

Author: Moses was the author of the Book of Leviticus.
레위기 요약
저자: 모세는 레위기의 저자입니다.

Date of Writing: The Book of Leviticus was written between 1440 and 1400 B.C.
기록 날짜: 레위기는 기원전 1440년에서 1400년 사이에 기록되었습니다.

Purpose of Writing: Because the Israelites had been held captive in Egypt for 400 years, the concept of God had been distorted by the polytheistic, pagan Egyptians. The purpose of Leviticus is to provide instruction and laws to guide a sinful, yet redeemed people in their relationship with a holy God. There is an emphasis in Leviticus on the need for personal holiness in response to a holy God. Sin must be atoned for through the offering of proper sacrifices (chapters 8-10). Other topics covered in the book are diets (clean and unclean foods), childbirth, and diseases which are carefully regulated (chapters 11-15). Chapter 16 describes the Day of Atonement when an annual sacrifice is made for the cumulative sin of the people. Furthermore, the people of God are to be circumspect in their personal, moral, and social living, in contrast to the then-current practices of the heathen roundabout them (chapters 17-22).
집필 목적: 이스라엘 백성은 400년 동안 이집트에 포로로 잡혀 있었기 때문에 다신교를 믿는 이교도 이집트인들에 의해 하나님에 대한 개념이 왜곡되어 있었습니다. 레위기의 목적은 죄는 있지만 구속을 받은 백성들이 거룩한 하나님과의 관계에서 지침과 율법을 제공하는 것입니다. 레위기에는 거룩하신 하나님에 대한 응답으로 개인의 거룩함이 필요하다는 점이 강조되어 있습니다. 죄는 적절한 희생 제물을 바침으로써 속죄되어야 합니다(8~10장). 이 책에서 다루는 다른 주제는 식단(정결한 음식과 부정한 음식), 출산, 질병에 대한 세심한 규율입니다(11~15장). 16장에서는 백성들의 누적된 죄를 위해 매년 희생 제사를 드리는 대속죄일에 대해 설명합니다. 또한 하나님의 백성은 개인적, 도덕적, 사회적 생활에서 당시 이방인들의 관습과 달리 신중을 기해야 합니다(17~22장).

Key Verses:
Leviticus 1:4, "He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him."
Leviticus 17:11, "For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life."
Leviticus 19:18, "'Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD."
핵심 구절:
레위기 1:4, "그는 번제물의 머리에 손을 얹고 그를 대신하여 속죄할 것이니라."
레위기 17:11, "짐승의 생명은 피에 있으니 내가 그것을 너희에게 주어 제단에서 너희 자신을 위하여 속죄하게 하였나니 사람의 생명을 속죄하는 것은 피니라."
레위기 19:18, "'네 백성 중 한 사람에게 복수를 하거나 원한을 품지 말고, 네 이웃을 네 몸과 같이 사랑하라. 나는 여호와이니라."

Brief Summary: Chapters 1–7 outline the offerings required of both the laity and the priesthood. Chapters 8–10 describe the consecration of Aaron and his sons to the priesthood. Chapters 11–16 are the prescriptions for various types of uncleanness. The final 10 chapters are God’s guidelines to His people for practical holiness. Various feasts were instituted in the people’s worship of God, convened and practiced according to God’s laws. Blessings or curses would accompany either the keeping or neglect of God’s commandments (chapter 26). Vows to the Lord are covered in chapter 27.
요약: 1장부터 7장까지는 평신도와 신권 모두에게 필요한 헌금에 대해 간략하게 설명합니다. 8-10장에서는 아론과 그의 아들들이 신권에 성별되는 과정을 설명합니다. 11~16장은 다양한 유형의 부정에 대한 처방전입니다. 마지막 10장은 실제적인 거룩함을 위한 하나님의 백성에 대한 지침입니다. 백성들이 하나님을 예배하기 위해 다양한 절기를 제정하고, 하나님의 율법에 따라 소집하고 실천했습니다. 하나님의 계명을 지키거나 소홀히 하면 축복이나 저주가 따랐습니다(26장). 주님께 드리는 서원은 27장에서 다룹니다.

The primary theme of Leviticus is holiness. God’s demand for holiness in His people is based on His own holy nature. A corresponding theme is that of atonement. Holiness must be maintained before God, and holiness can only be attained through a proper atonement.
레위기의 주요 주제는 거룩함입니다. 하나님의 백성에게 거룩함을 요구하시는 하나님의 요구는 하나님 자신의 거룩한 본성에 근거합니다. 이에 상응하는 주제는 속죄입니다. 하나님 앞에서 거룩함을 유지해야 하며, 거룩함은 올바른 속죄를 통해서만 얻을 수 있습니다.

Foreshadowings: Much of the ritualistic practices of worship picture in many ways the person and work of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Hebrews 10 tells us that the Mosaic Law is “only a shadow of the good things that are coming” by which is meant that the daily sacrifices offered by the priests for the sin of the people were a representation of the ultimate Sacrifice—Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice would be once for all time for those who would believe in Him. The holiness imparted temporarily by the Law would one day be replaced by the absolute attainment of holiness when Christians exchanged their sin for the righteousness of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21).
예표: 예배의 의식적 관습 중 많은 부분이 우리 구주이신 주 예수 그리스도의 인격과 사역을 여러 가지 방식으로 묘사합니다. 히브리서 10장은 모세의 율법이 "장차 올 좋은 일의 그림자에 불과하다"고 말하는데, 이는 제사장들이 백성들의 죄를 위해 매일 드리는 제사가 궁극적인 희생, 즉 그분을 믿는 사람들을 위해 단번에 희생되실 예수 그리스도를 상징하는 것임을 의미합니다. 율법이 일시적으로 부여한 거룩함은 언젠가 그리스도인들이 자신의 죄를 그리스도의 의와 교환할 때 절대적인 거룩함의 성취로 대체될 것입니다(고린도후서 5:21).

Practical Application: God takes His holiness very seriously, and so should we. The trend in the postmodern church is to create God in our own image, giving Him the attributes we would like Him to have instead of the ones His Word describes. God’s utter holiness, His transcendent splendor, and His “unapproachable light” (1 Timothy 6:16) are foreign concepts to many Christians. We are called to walk in the Light and to put away the darkness in our lives so that we may be pleasing in His sight. A holy God cannot tolerate blatant, unashamed sin in His people and His holiness requires Him to punish it. We dare not be flippant in our attitudes toward sin or God’s loathing of it, nor should we make light of it in any way.
실제 적용: 하나님은 그분의 거룩함을 매우 중요하게 여기시며 우리도 그렇게 해야 합니다. 포스트모던 교회의 경향은 하나님을 우리의 형상대로 창조하고, 하나님의 말씀이 묘사하는 속성 대신 우리가 원하는 속성을 부여하는 것입니다. 하나님의 완전한 거룩함, 그분의 초월적인 광채, 그분의 "범접할 수 없는 빛"(딤전 6:16)은 많은 기독교인에게 낯선 개념입니다. 우리는 빛 가운데서 걷고 우리 삶에서 어둠을 버려서 그분이 보시기에 기쁘게 하라는 부름을 받았습니다. 거룩하신 하나님은 그분의 백성의 노골적이고 부끄러움을 모르는 죄를 용납하지 않으시며, 그분의 거룩하심은 죄를 벌하실 것을 요구하십니다. 우리는 죄에 대한 우리의 태도나 하나님의 혐오에 대해 경솔해서는 안 되며, 어떤 식으로든 죄를 가볍게 여겨서도 안 됩니다.

Praise the Lord that because of Jesus’ death on our behalf, we no longer have to offer animal sacrifices. Leviticus is all about substitution. The death of the animals was a substitute penalty for those who have sinned. In the same way, but infinitely better, the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross was the substitute for our sins. Now we can stand before a God of utter holiness without fear because He sees in us the righteousness of Christ.
예수님이 우리를 대신해 죽으셨기 때문에 더 이상 동물 제사를 드릴 필요가 없음을 주님께 찬양합니다. 레위기는 대속에 관한 이야기입니다. 동물의 죽음은 죄를 지은 사람들을 위한 대속의 형벌이었습니다. 같은 방식으로, 그러나 훨씬 더 나은 방식으로 예수님의 십자가 희생이 우리의 죄를 대신했습니다. 이제 우리는 우리 안에서 그리스도의 의를 보시기 때문에 두려움 없이 완전한 거룩함을 지닌 하나님 앞에 설 수 있습니다.

Leviticus Summary
by Jay Smith

성경 요약
레위기 요약
by 제이 스미스

Leviticus is composed of two basic genres Narrative History and Law. It was written by Moses about 1445-1444 B.C. The setting of Leviticus mainly appears to take place at Mt. Sinai. The key personalities of Leviticus include Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu Eleazar, and Ithamar.

레위기는 내러티브(이야기체) 역사와 율법이라는 두 가지 기본 장르로 구성되어 있습니다. 레위기는 주전 1445~1444년경 모세에 의해 쓰여졌으며, 주로 시내산을 배경으로 하고 있는 것으로 보입니다. 레위기의 주요 인물로는 모세, 아론, 나답, 아비후 엘르아살, 이타마르 등이 있습니다.

It was written to draw the Israelites to the understanding of the infinite holiness of God, and that He desires them to act in a holy manner toward Himself. In doing this, God gives them many instructions to carry out. It describes Moses giving procedural instructions for the Israelites, especially to the Levitical priests, about how they are to carry out offerings, ceremonies, and celebrations. The word “Holy” is mentioned more times in Leviticus, than any other book in the Bible.

이 책은 이스라엘 백성이 하나님의 무한한 거룩하심을 깨닫고, 그분이 자신을 향해 거룩한 방식으로 행동하기를 원하신다는 사실을 깨닫게 하기 위해 쓰여졌습니다. 이를 위해 하나님께서는 이스라엘 백성에게 많은 지시를 내리십니다. 이 책은 모세가 이스라엘 백성, 특히 레위 제사장들에게 제물, 의식, 축제를 어떻게 수행해야 하는지에 대한 절차적 지침을 제공하는 것을 묘사합니다. 레위기에는 성경의 다른 어떤 책보다 "거룩하다"는 단어가 많이 언급되어 있습니다.

•    From chapter 1-7, Sacrifice and Offerings are laid out for Priests and individuals in detail. These passages also describe how to use the altar for the sacrifices and the offerings to God.

- 1장부터 7장까지는 사제와 개인을 위한 희생과 제물이 자세히 설명되어 있습니다. 이 구절들은 또한 하나님께 드리는 제사와 제물을 위해 제단을 사용하는 방법도 설명합니다.

•    In chapters 8-10, Moses describes the instructions for the Levitical Priesthood, since Israel is to be “a kingdom of priests” (Ex. 19:6). He does this from the doorway of his tent. Moses consecrates his brother Aaron and his sons who are the priests.

- 8-10장에서 모세는 이스라엘이 "제사장 왕국"이 될 것이므로(출 19:6) 레위 제사장직에 대한 지침을 설명합니다. 모세는 장막 문 앞에서 이 일을 행합니다. 모세는 동생 아론과 그의 아들들을 제사장으로 봉헌합니다.

•    From chapters 11-15 Moses teaches the importance and procedures for things that are unclean. These include food, diseases, animals, insects, dead bodies, birth, cleaning and many others. God’s purpose of all this is to protect His people from the illnesses and diseases that come from these sources.

- 11장부터 15장까지 모세는 부정한 것의 중요성과 절차에 대해 가르칩니다. 여기에는 음식, 질병, 동물, 곤충, 시체, 출산, 청소 및 기타 여러 가지가 포함됩니다. 이 모든 것의 하나님의 목적은 이러한 원인으로 인한 질병과 질병으로부터 하나님의 백성을 보호하는 것입니다.

•    In chapter 16, Moses gives instruction about the Day of Atonement. This was the day out of the year that the High Priest cleanses and prepares himself ceremonially to meet with God. This ceremony only takes place once a year. The High Priest enters into the Holy of Holies and offers a sacrifice to God for sins on behalf of the entire nation of Israel.

- 16장에서 모세는 대속죄일에 대해 가르칩니다. 이 날은 대제사장이 일 년 중 하나님을 만나기 위해 자신을 정결하게 하고 의식적으로 준비하는 날입니다. 이 의식은 일 년에 단 한 번만 거행됩니다. 대제사장은 지성소에 들어가 이스라엘 민족 전체를 대신하여 하나님께 죄를 위한 희생 제물을 바칩니다.

•    Chapters 17-27 pertain to the laws that apply generally for living a holy life. These are many laws including sexual immorality, idolatry, land laws, more priestly laws, religious festivals and celebrations, the Sabbath year and the year of Jubilee.

- 17~27장은 거룩한 삶을 사는 데 일반적으로 적용되는 율법에 관한 내용입니다. 여기에는 성적 부도덕, 우상 숭배, 토지법, 제사법, 종교적 축제와 기념일, 안식년과 희년 등 다양한 법이 포함됩니다.
