In which Aaron has to kill some animals and say he's really, really sorry for the horrible crime that his sons committed that caused God to kill them. (They burned the wrong incense while making an offering to God, so God killed them.)

Leviticus 12

Leviticus 11
We finally learn what "clean" vs. "unclean" means, and get a list of animals we can and can't eat. And nobody bothered to count the number of legs a grasshopper has.

Leviticus 1-9
Today I start Leviticus. I don't know what to expect in terms of the story (other than more of the same). If you had asked me what was in Genesis or Exodus before I read them, I could have given you the broad strokes (while likely underestimating the atrocities); but with Leviticus, I have no idea.
Okay, for these first 9 chapters, it's all just about killing animals. Seriously.
