In Leviticus 17 & 18, we are reminded of the importance of the life blood in every being. Life is found in the blood. Jesus' life was poured out when He died on the cross for us so we could live for all eternity instead of facing the death we all deserve. The trust that was once put in the sacrifices of Leviticus are now put in Jesus. Jesus' blood gives life to us who should have had to pay for our sinfulness. Outlines are further given for how to remain morally pure as they are about to enter a very pagan, sinful nation full of idolatry and lust. God wants to continue to dwell with His people and wants them to stay set apart and safe with Him for all eternity.
