In before the "Drink your Ovaltine" post. But seriously, it's amazing what they are able to decipher. Took a long time in the article to get to the actual text of the scroll, but it's pretty cool.
I'm still not quite sure why God was interested in burnt offerings and animal sacrifices, but I suppose I can't wrap my mind around the context of the time.

He was teaching His people there was a blood price for sin.

Another thing that’s amazing is that in millenia of copying and re-copying Torah scrolls by hand, that not so much as a letter ever changed. The text is identical to any book of Leviticus at any synagogue in New Jersey. All by hand, on sheepskin.

As to why God wanted animal sacrifices, that’s pretty obvious. The priests had to eat something!

Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins. - Why Christ’s blood was shed on the cross; and why animal sacrifice is no longer needed.
