Today's reading finishes Leviticus. Read 26 & 27
The first part of the readings is full of warnings, with promises mixed in for following the Lord with heart, soul and mind. Much of it contains promises, at first, that God gives to them for faithfulness to the law. Eventually there are warnings issued that relate to unfaithfulness. There are some who read in this a later addition to the law and it's possible that these last two sections are addendums to rest of the law - clarifying what should happen, or will happen in certain situations.
We've finished Leviticus. Much of what is written seems distant to our own experiences; but take a bigger look. There are many things from the law that translate into our own modern laws. They seek to protect human rights, property rights, dignity of humans and an understanding of what happens when humans have free reign to try to dominate others.
