I think we should. That system is what Christ fulfilled and made perfect. It explains in secular terms what Christ does for us, but Christ does so much better than that system did. It is in Leviticus 1-17.
It throws light on what Christ fulfilled.
I found it interesting that Christ will forgive sins we do not realize we are committing. I haven’t found that in the new testament telling us of all Christ does for us, have you?
definitely a huge benefit to help understand the gospel in studying not only the sacrifice but every element of the law which was a foreshadow ofnthe true things Christ brought forth
The best way to understand how the old covenant laws apply sacrificial , the priesthood laws and ordinations dressings and services ,Moses the mediators role in the law all
Of it is a foreshadow an earthly example of the true things in Christ
the best way is to study the New Testament writings regarding and teaching us how they apply in figure and teaching
to study the law of Moses will give any Christian insight into what the apostles were explaining look into the priesthood laws also d check out Hebrews it has a lot regarding the relation of old and new covenants it’s explained so we just have to hear and believe
“Then verily
the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. Now
when these things were thus ordained, the
priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:
The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but
by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the
purifying of the flesh:
How much more shall
the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
And
for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
For
where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
Whereupon
neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. For
when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but
into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:”
Hebrews 9:1, 6-24 KJV
Hebrews seems difficult because we don’t study the old covenant laws. It can be understood if we study the law looking back from the gospel and through the epistles of Peter John and Paul
notice how Christ doesn’t serve on earth , but the ot was a pattern of the true things to come in Christ a foretellings by figures and examples and prophecy. Ot was foretelling the gospel that would come at the apppinted time the law is immensely valuable if we understand were born of a new covenant , that the old covenant was foreshadowing
