Leviticus
Leviticus
Noun
Leviticus is a proper noun referring to a specific sacred text. As a title of a book in the Bible, it is always capitalized and treated as a singular entity. It does not have a plural form because it refers to a unique, individual volume of scripture.
In academic or theological discourse, the term is used to refer to the entire book or specific chapters within it. It is typically preceded by the definite article "the" when referring to the book as a whole (e.g., "the Book of Leviticus"), though the article is omitted when citing it as a source (e.g., "as seen in Leviticus 11").
