If by "where," you mean what geographic place, it is the account of the things that happened to Moses -- and what he was told by God -- on Mt. Sinai.

If you mean "where in history," or "when," it is said by scholars to have been written in 1446 BC, at the time of the completion of the Tabernacle, as the Israelites emerged from Egypt.

Of course, because we are talking about ancient times, there is some conjecture among scholars about the exact year, but approximately 1446 BC is generally accepted, from all I can ascertain.

The Book of Exodus covers the building of that Tabernacle, and Leviticus, written priests, tells the Israelites how to worship, the principle of physical cleanliness and spiritual holiness, and dietary health.

The time period it covers approximately one month, from the construction of the Tabernacle until the numbering of the Israelites for war.

How many years of history does the book of Leviticus cover?

A:The Book of Leviticus is not about history, being primarily a book of laws and codes relating to sacrifices, the Levite priesthood and ritual purity. It does not actually mention its author and, apart from the brief references to Moses, there is no context provided for the material contained. Leviticus could as readily have been written any time in Jewish history up to the post-Exilic period. In fact, modern biblical scholars say Leviticus was largely written by an anonymous source now known as the Priestly Source, writing during or shortly after the Babylonian Exile and therefore nearly a thousand years after the time of Moses.
