===Leviticus===
{{Main|Book of Leviticus}}

The Book of Leviticus begins with instructions to the Israelites on how to use the [[Tabernacle]], which they had just built (Leviticus 1–10). This is followed by rules of [[tumah and taharah|clean and unclean]] (Leviticus 11–15), which includes the laws of slaughter and animals permissible to eat (see also: [[Kashrut]]), the [[Yom Kippur|Day of Atonement]] (Leviticus 16), and various moral and ritual laws sometimes called the [[Holiness Code]] (Leviticus 17–26). Leviticus 26 provides a detailed list of rewards for following God's commandments and a detailed list of punishments for not following them. Leviticus 17 establishes sacrifices at the Tabernacle as an everlasting ordinance, but this ordinance is altered in later books with the Temple being the only place in which sacrifices are allowed.{{citation needed|date=February 2024}}
