The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 03: Leviticus

"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 03: Leviticus" is the third book of the Torah, reaching its present form during the Persian Period from 538 to 332 BC. Through divine speeches to Moses at Mount Sinai, it prescribes how the Israelites should make offerings in the Tabernacle and conduct themselves around the holy sanctuary. The text details sacrificial rituals, priestly duties, laws of purity and uncleanliness, the Day of Atonement, and the Holiness Code—providing means for the people to gain forgiveness and maintain God's presence among them.
