As I explained in the notes on Genesis, almost all Jewish and Christian scholars regarded Moses as the writer of all five books of the Law until about 100 years ago.2
God evidently revealed the material Moses recorded in Leviticus after He renewed the covenant with Israel (1:1).
Leviticus is unique in that it is largely a record of God's instructions to Moses.
"There is no book in the whole compass of that inspired Volume which the Holy Spirit has given us, that contains more of the very words of God than Leviticus. It is God that is the direct speaker in almost every page; His gracious words are recorded in the form wherein they were uttered."3
