Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Many readers find Leviticus and Numbers the most difficult parts of the Bible. Did Cobble's recaps help you find them more accessible or meaningful? What specific reframe did she offer that helped — or what are you still struggling with?
2.The elaborate instructions for the Tabernacle in Exodus 25–40 are famously detailed. Cobble points out that God's attention to detail is itself a theological statement — He cares about how His people approach Him. What does that level of specificity suggest about the holiness of God and the seriousness of sin?
3.The sacrificial system in Leviticus is the engine of Israel's worship life. Cobble helps readers see that every sacrifice points forward to Jesus. As you read about the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16) — the two goats, the blood in the Holy of Holies — what did you understand about the cross that you hadn't seen as clearly before?
a.The high priest entered the Holy of Holies once a year. Jesus entered "once for all" (Hebrews 9:12). What difference does that "once for all" make to you personally?
b.What does the scapegoat — carrying Israel's sins into the wilderness — tell you about what Jesus absorbed for you?
