That's where Leviticus belongs because that is for the priests and it is for the people, the holiness code. So we have the priesthood, but then there's two other things at Sinai that are huge. One is the tabernacle. And this comes as a result of Moses being up on the mountain and seeing like a heavenly vision of what it looks like to worship.
And we see that also at the end of the Bible in John's revelation. And you'll see it at your local Catholic church, I might add. Exactly. But then the third thing is, is that God gives him his Torah.

He's making my life miserable. No, he loves you. And so the more sin, the more law, and the law is to get you to focus on on your relationship with God, that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. So as we move forward, we got to keep track of the Levites. We keep track of the tabernacle.

No, that's a great question. And I would have to say that in my studies over the years, and in the beginning, it was like Leviticus, skip. And now it's not. It's a very critical book.
