Wikki has a reasonable outline of Leviticus
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leviticus

Leviticus is such a bastion of fairness, tolerance and family values. Here's one of my favourites:
20:9 ‘For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.’

A kinder, gentler god might suggest a less extreme punishment for cursing your parents in the heat of an argument; like spanking or confining the child to their room.

And Leviticus 25:44 clearly states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations.

Does that mean I could buy both a Scottish and Welsh person?

Answer 2

What is strange in the book of Leviticus? The book of Leviticus describes the laws and rituals of the Levites and the Israelites.
GOD bless

Answer 3

By his do you mean God? The Book of Leviticus is a list of the laws God gave the Jewish nation, ONLY. The name of the book means "he calls". It was written, it is supposed, by Moses.

You would have to read through and enumerate one law after the other throughout the entire book. It cannot be summarized very well and even hit the high points since it is a summary, itself.

Answer 4

Are you really doing research? Should be interesting to read if you are.
You'll need to understand and appreciate the times they were written in, and the symbolism used.
But some are intriguing, for example chapter 12, apparently the differences in the days of purification for a girl (80 days) and a boy (40 days) can be also seen as maternity leave today. Maternity leave is a very new concept to atheists but not to religious people, it was a time to look after their young.
Newborn girls are generally more frail than newborn boys and so mothers of girls had longer time at home to care for them. About 3 times as many newborn girls die as boys.
Also you see women worked in those days - not only men. (Proverbs 31v10-31)
Funny how atheists think religions are all sexist?
Try to avoid what other ignorant people have written as they have missed some of the modern parallels and facts of life.

Answer 5

How is this research...they are already written down in Leviticus...read it, take notes, they are laid out one by one with no need for research. You don't need research to learn the four Ps of marketing, just pick up a basic marketing textbook and it is all written down.

Now if you meant to say that you want to research the meaning or purpose of those laws, then your best source is the one that wrote them...interview the author if you want to know what he was thinking when he wrote them!

Hope you're over the age of 16, otherwise there might be things in there you're not ready for.

Answer 7

It's in the Bible and you could read it.
But if you don't own a bible,then go to an online bible site and read it there.
Why would you want to take people's word for what is in Leviticus (we could lie to you, you know)?

Answer 8

It's got a big section about how to get rid of mildew from a house - really! There are also laws about not having sex with animals and what to do if you meet a wizard.

Answer 9

Go here and read. http://bibleresources.bible.com/passagesearchresults2.php?passage1=Leviticus+1&book_id=3&version1=31&tp=27&c=1 There are just too many to post here.

Answer 10

When you say I am collecting all His strange laws. Are you blaspheming?
