In today’s episode of Word for Word: The Bible, we continue our journey through Leviticus with a word-for-word reading of chapters 19–21. These chapters reveal how God’s call to holiness extends beyond worship into everyday life, relationships, justice, and leadership. God instructs His people to reflect His character through obedience, honesty, compassion, and reverence. We also see the heightened responsibility placed on the priests, reminding us that those who serve before the Lord are called to live with care, integrity, and faithfulness. Leviticus 19–21 shows that holiness is not abstract—it shapes how God’s people live, love others, and represent Him in the world.
