The final verse of Leviticus provides an apt conclusion to the whole book: \u201cThese are the commandments that the Lord gave Moses for the Israelite people on Mount Sinai\u201d (Leviticus 27:34). The rabbinic sages often preferred to conclude their midrashic-aggadic homiletical compositions on a positive note, usually with the promise of the future messianic redemption. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Midrash Leviticus Rabbah (37:4) concludes its extensive and detailed elaboration of the Book of Leviticus with just such a \u201cmessianic peroration\u201d. \u201cRabbi Yaakov bar Avina\u2019 said: Anyone who makes a vow and fulfills (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">meshalem, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">literally \u2018pays\u2019) it may be assured that his prayer shall be heard. What is the Scriptural basis for this? \u2018Praise befits You in Zion, O God. Vows are paid to You. All mankind comes to You &#8212; You who hear prayer\u2019 (Psalms 65:2-3). Rabbi Aha said: Anyone who makes a vow and fulfills it, will in the Future merit to fulfill his vow in Jerusalem, for this is what is written in Scripture: \u2018I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all His people\u2019 (Psalms 116:18). Where? \u2018\u2026in the courts of the house of the Lord &#8212; in the midst of Jerusalem. Hallelujah!\u2019 (verse 19). \u2018Hallelujah! Praise the Lord for He is good.
