Leviticus (Hebrew ויקרא wayqrà' , "and called", from the Greek incipit Λευιτικόν, levitikòn; Latin Leviticus) is the third book of the Jewish Torah and the Christian Bible.

It consists of 27 chapters, written in Hebrew, containing almost exclusively religious and social laws, for the use of the priests and Levites, which Moses gave to the Jews during their stay in the Sinai desert (about 1200 BC).
