Revised and updated, these bestselling Bible studies will reach a whole new generation. The Israelites’ exodus from Egypt marked the end of a period of oppression in their history. It also marked the beginning of God fulfilling His covenantal promise to a man named Abraham, that his descendants would not only reside in the Promised Land but would also multiply and become a great nation. So, at various times, God gave the Israelites a body of legislation—known as the law—to instruct them on how to live properly as the people of God. By this, they were to be distinct from all other nations on the earth. In the twelve studies within, John MacArthur explores these laws that God gave to His people as recorded in the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy.
