What good can come by literal translation of the translations? That we will be sacrificing sheep and goats in our churches today? Leviticus represents the laws and customs of the day, as set forth by revelations made to Moses. And such laws were carried out to the letter. And death was served on even the sons of Aaron, the first high priest of the Sinai, for their sacrilegious acts. Death for breaking the sundry laws of which are spelled out in this book. For in this day we would have had to put to death Neil Bush, Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich and a host of other sinners. We'd probably be with out any government if we carried out the sentences in Leviticus. Point being that the Bible is best left as a history of where we came from, but not necessarily a prescription for the future, nor to be used as a guide for developing amendments to the constitution.

<<Leviticus is one of the books Jewish Scribes have been charged with carefully maintaining in original Hebrew,>> The Hebrew Bible wasn't written down until at least 500 years after the supposed time of Moses. Unless you accept the inerrancy of the Bible purely on faith, there's no way to make the argument that it's in any way accurate or reflective of the times it claims to describe. Around the time of King Josiah and the "discovery" of Deuteronomy the Bible becomes more of an historic document. Steve Dietrich
