 LEVITICUS 19:2

SPEAK TO THE WHOLE ISRAELITE COMMUNITY AND TELL THEM: BE HOLY, FOR I, THE LORD
YOUR GOD, AM HOLY.

• LEVITICUS IS ABOUT HOLINESS: GOD'S HOLINESS AND THE HOLINESS OF GOD'S

PEOPLE. "HOLY" APPEARS IN LEVITICUS FAR MORE FREQUENTLY THAN IN ANY OTHER
BIBLICAL BOOK. BECAUSE OF THIS CONCENTRATION, SCHOLARS HAVE OFTEN CALLED
LEVITICUS 17-26 THE "HOLINESS CODE.”
