Leviticus is the book most people quote a single verse from and never actually read, which is a shame, because the rest of it is an absolute goldmine of bizarre purity codes, sacrifice instructions, and rules about mildew. We read the whole thing front to back, all 27 chapters, so you don’t have to, though we’d still recommend it if you enjoy being baffled.
You’ll also see 7 episodes marked Dig Deeper below. The show’s format is an unstudied first read, reactions and all, so those episodes are where the hosts go back into a book or chapters they already covered to chase down their own questions and pick up what they missed the first time through. They’re not listener Q&A, just the hosts grading their own homework.
