Additional Notes on Leviticus in the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament Series

by Jay Sklar

A WONDERFUL COMPLEMENT TO SKLAR'S ZECOT COMMENTARY. Jay Sklar's commentary on Leviticus for the ZECOT series is guided by the question, "What is most necessary to know to teach or preach well on this passage?" Any of its technical or in-depth discussions, or interactions with the secondary literature, focus on those aspects of the passage most central to its meaning. This book is guided by the question, "What else might the reader like to know when interacting with the secondary literature, or when looking very in-depth at technical aspects of the Hebrew?" It thus supplements the commentary so that readers wanting to go even further in their study of Leviticus are well equipped to do so.
