Consecrated and Tested: Reflections on Leviticus and Numbers (The Daily Quiet Time Reflections Series)

By Eugene Han

What does it cost to be set apart for a holy God - and what does it take to actually trust Him once you are?

Consecrated and Tested: Reflections on Leviticus and Numbers combines two studies into a single volume, continuing a project begun in Beginnings: Reflections on the Book of Genesis and Deliverance: Reflections on the Book of Exodus. Drawn from more than a decade of daily Quiet Time writing and a weekly Sunday School class called Flourish, Eugene Han and Eunmi Kim walk through Leviticus and Numbers one reading at a time.

Part One: Holiness traces Leviticus's answer to a question Exodus left hanging in the air - now that a holy God dwells among an unholy people, how exactly are they to live? The sacrifices, the Day of Atonement, the call to "be holy, because I am holy," and the sabbatical and jubilee years all get an honest, unhurried reading, without smoothing over the book's hardest moments: the deaths of Nadab and Abihu, the total absence of any sacrifice for willful sin, the exacting detail modern readers so often skip past.

Part Two: Wanderings picks up where Leviticus leaves off, following Israel from Sinai into forty years of testing in the wilderness. The twelve spies at Kadesh-barnea, Korah's rebellion, the bronze serpent, Balaam's oracles, the daughters of Zelophehad - this is the most narrative-driven book since Genesis, and also one of the most emotionally honest, tracing exactly what unbelief costs a people who had already seen God part a sea and thunder from a mountain.

Each chapter includes: A close, readable walk through that section's text, grounded in careful study but written for everyday readersCross-references that trace how a theme echoes through the rest of Scripture, from the Psalms to the Gospels to the letter to the HebrewsHonest engagement with the hardest parts - sudden judgment, exacting law, difficult history - without flattening them into easy answersReflection and discussion questions, ideal for personal devotion or small-group Bible studyTwenty-six chapters in all, spanning two of the Bible's most under-read books. Whether you are working straight through the Pentateuch, leading a Bible study, or simply picking up where Beginnings and Deliverance left off, this volume offers a companion for two books more people abandon than finish - and a case for why both are worth finishing.
