Merrill gives an in depth look to Deuteronomy and how it is pertinent to us today.ĭavid Baker, Ph.D. The content covered in Numbers by Dale Brueggemann breathes new life into the book and gives us a new understanding of the content in Numbers. The information came from those who were part of history and the book gives background to how they had an impact on the ancient Near East. Thirdly, Leviticus is discussed from a historical perspective. Cornerstone Biblical Commentary: Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy gives the reader a greater understanding of worship and the importance it has in our lives. In today’s church, the who, where, when, why and how of worship and whether or not it can be accomplished in a group and the possibility of it being something that can between a person and God, something that can achieved one on one is discussed. The second reason to study Leviticus is that of religious reasons. Additionally, the story of the woman who was hemorrhaging in Mark 5:25–34 would not be as easily comprehended if we did not have Leviticus 15:25–27 as background. For example, in John 1:29 where it says Jesus is the “Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” would be unfathomable if Leviticus 4:32–35 was not kept in mind. The theological aspect of Leviticus is important because it gives a history of the people of Israel and many of the concepts and terms that were common to Jesus were first mentioned in Leviticus. ``from the Lord was this, said the builders this is marvellous in our sight, said the sons of Jesse.Studying the book of Leviticus is not something that many people do, but Baker, Brueggemann and Merrill mention that it is a necessary book to read for three reasons: theological, religious and historical. The stone itself is wonderful to look at, for its beauty, strength, and usefulness the wisdom, love, care, and power of God, in laying it, are astonishing the distinguishing grace of God in selecting some stones out of the common quarry, making them lively stones, and building them on this foundation stone, is exceeding marvellous: and so are both the rejection and exaltation of it that so precious a stone should be refused, and, when treated with so much neglect and contempt, should be exalted.

This stone is from the Lord, ( Genesis 49:24 ) it is of his choosing, appointing, and laying: the rejection of it by the builders is through his permission and will they did no other things than what his hand and counsel determined should be done, ( Acts 2:23 ) ( Acts 4:27 Acts 4:28 ) and the exaltation of it, or the making it the head of the corner, was of him he highly exalted him at his right hand, above every name, creature, and thing
