The deeper I get into the full reading of Leviticus, the more I have come to believe that the obedience expected by the Lord back then had several purposes - just as it does for us today.
Back then, the Lord had them follow strict requirements to keep them safe from the physical world around them. Today, I think that complete obedience also keeps us safe from the world, but it's not the physical world, so much as it is the spiritual world. Their obedience also showed that they were set apart as children of the Lord, just as our obedience does the same thing today.
With all of those rules and requirements, I'm guessing it did set them apart from the rest of the people around them, and, in truth, isn't that exactly how we should be today?
