וַיִּקְרָ֖א אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֑ה וַיְדַבֵּ֤ר יְהוָה֙ אֵלָ֔יו מֵאֹ֥הֶל מֹועֵ֖ד לֵאמֹֽר׃
"In the Book of Leviticus the children of Israel were marking time
at Mount Sinai.
The book opens and concludes at the same geographical spot, Mount Sinai, where God gave the Law.
Exodus concludes with the tabernacle constructed and the glory of the Lord filling it.
Leviticus gives the order and rules of worship in the tabernacle. The Hebrew word Vayikrah opens the book, and it means “and He called.”
God moves into the tabernacle and speaks from there rather than from Mount Sinai.
He calls the people to Him and tells them how to come.
This is the exact meaning of the church — ekklesia, “called out ones.”
The Lord Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice” (John 10:27)."
