In this episode, I begin working through the few new topics presented in the book of Leviticus. First, there are Suzerain Vassal treaties, a concept almost as old as society itself.

In this episode, I summarize the last few chapters of Leviticus. Most of these are either repetitions or expansions of God’s instructions to Moses on Sinai.
