Christians: Question about names of books in bible.?

Maybe leviticus is in reference to the 'tribe' of Levi.

It is a shame to think that the Churches around the world feel the Threat of God's true name Jehovah, and wish to exterminate it from every place that their remaining parishioners may see it while attending services or reading their own copy of the bible at home. Could the reason be that once again, Jehovah's Witnesses the exposed the false doctrine so much that Church officials think that if they take God's name out of the remaining 4 places it is found in most bibles that people will be more gullible and come back to false religion dressed as Christendom? Could be! For the time being, most bibles have Jehovah's Name at Exodus 6:3; Psalms 83:18 (19); Isaiah 12:2; 26:4 I put into parentheses Psalms 83:19 because in some German bible Jehovah's name is found there instead of verses 18.

Deuteronomy:

The name “Deuteronomy” comes from the Septuagint Greek title Deu‧te‧ro‧no′mi‧on, literally meaning “Second Law; Repetition of the Law.” Despite the meaning of the name Deuteronomy, this book is not a second law nor a repetition of the entire Law but, rather, an explanation of it.

Torah:

The word “law” in Hebrew (toh‧rah′) is derived from a root that in its verbal form means “to show,” “to teach,” “to instruct.” The Encyclopaedia Judaica states: “The meaning of the word [torah] is therefore ‘teaching,’ ‘doctrine,’ or ‘instruction.’”

Leviticus:

The third book of the Pentateuch, containing laws from God on sacrifices, purity, and other matters connected with Jehovah’s worship. The Levitical priesthood, carrying out its instructions, rendered sacred service in “a typical representation and a shadow of the heavenly things.” (Heb 8:3-5; 10:1.)

Numbers:

The fourth book of the Pentateuch. It derives its English name from the two numberings of the sons of Israel mentioned therein. It relates events that took place in the region of Mount Sinai, in the wilderness during the course of Israel’s wandering, and on the Plains of Moab. The narrative primarily covers a period of 38 years and 9 months, from 1512 to 1473 B.C.E. (Nu 1:1; De 1:3, 4) Although occurring earlier than the events in the surrounding material, the happenings narrated at Numbers 7:1-88 and 9:1-15 provide background information that forms an essential part of the book.

The English title of the book, Deuteronomy, comes from the word deuteronomion used as the title of the book in the Septuagint, the second-century BC translation of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek. This title, meaning "second law," arose from a misunderstanding of the term in 17:18, where it actually means "a copy of the law." Its Jewish name, Debarim (Heb., "words"), comes from the opening phrase: "These are the words. . . ."). This is actually a much more appropriate title for the book since the "words" of Moses and God are a central feature of the book. This book is the fifth and final book of the Pentateuch (Gk: "five books," i.e., Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy), or the Torah (Heb: "instruction") as it is known in Jewish tradition.

The above answer is from the website listed below.

The book of Leviticus had to do with the Levitical Priesthood. The book of Numbers was the numbering or census of the nation of Israel.

Torah means instruction, which relates to the ten commandments given which were at the time the instructions for the Hebrews. Deuteronomy is a book of summary note - guide for living good moral and social lives. Leviticus is book of law and ritual. The book of numbers is probably because it tells of the first census of the Nations. I hope this is somewhere near the truth for you - if you get any more revelation on this let me know please. Interesting question, thanks.

Deut=words

Torah=direction;instruction

Leviticus=relating to the Levites

Numbers, =twice numbered

deut:

The title is derived from the Greek Deuteronomion (Latin Deuteronomium), "second law", from to deuteronomion touto, "this second law", the erroneous Septuagint rendering of the Hebrew phrase mishneh ha-torah ha-zot, "a copy of this law" (Deuteronomy 17:18). Its Hebrew title is Devarim, דְּבָרִים, "words", specifically spoken words. [1], from the opening phrase Eleh ha-devarim, "These are the words...".

lev

The English name is derived from the Latin Liber Leviticus, which is derived in turn from the Greek βιβλίον το Λευιτικόν, (biblion to Levitikon), meaning "book of the Levites". The English title is somewhat misleading, as the book makes a very strong distinction between the priesthood, descended from Aaron, and mere Levites. The custom in the Hebrew bible is to name the books of the Torah by their first word, in this case Vayikra וַיִּקְרָא, "and He called"[2] - vayikra is also the name of the first weekly Torah reading or parshah in the book.

numbers:

The Hebrew title Bəmidbar, short for bəmidbar Sinai ("in the desert of Sinai"), is taken from the first verse, and "serves to foreground the years of testing in the wilderness that make up the central section of the book (chapters 11-21)."[2] The English title Numbers is derived from the Greek of the Septuagint, referencing the numbering of the Israelites in the wilderness of Sinai and later on the plain of Moab.
