Why Leviticus Is Deserving of Death

Death is also the penalty, by the way, for idolatry and blasphemy. Why? It's crossing a pretty major holiness boundary. You can't just put god's house anywhere. The sacrificial animals also have zones the fat, called the suet. In first samuel, chapter two, you can read about what happens to priests who take the fat from themselves. Guess what happens? They die. Like nadab and abi who died. And it raises the question of why these behaviours are deserving of death,. which is a very hard question to answer.
