 | | This interpretation is scripturally referred to within the Epistle to the Hebrews, and Leviticus is said to contain in its law a gospel of the grace of God. | | | The second part, Leviticus 17-26, is known as the Holiness Code, and places particular, and noticeable, emphasis on holiness, and the holy. | | | The first part Leviticus 1-16, and Leviticus 27, constitutes the main portion of the Priestly Code, which describes the details of rituals, and of worship, as well as details of ritual cleanliness and uncleanliness. |

| | The book of Leviticus is the book in the Bible that establishes the foundation for this great central column of biblical truth – the doctrine and the reality of the holiness of God. | | | The theme of Leviticus is that God is holy, and His holiness is to be the standard of our conduct and behavior. | | | The purpose of Leviticus is to give us a sense of the holiness of God that we might be able to distinguish between holy and unholy, between the clean and the unclean. |

| | There is no note of a definite time in Leviticus itself, but from the references cited it is clear that in the continuous narrative of the Pentateuch this is the chronological position of the book. | | | In Jewish writings it is customary to cite the book by its first word," Wa-yiḳra." The book is, composed of laws which treat of the functions of the priests, or the Levites in the larger sense. | | | If any of these collections were made during the Exile, it must have been the desire of the priests who collected them to preserve the sacred ritual of the Temple at Jerusalem. |

| | Serious Hebrew Study Of Leviticus "Abomination" |
| | Summary: Leviticus verses do not deal with homosexuality but rather the Canaanite sex rituals performed by Molech's male priests/ prostitutes who dressed up as women, wore goddess vestments, and goddess masks and whose customers were male- hence laying with a male as though a female. | | | The Yahwist and Priestly authors of Genesis, Leviticus and Deuteronomy equated sacred prostitution (an important part of Canaan's worship of fertility with idolatry. | | | You shall never bring the gains of a harlot or the earnings of a male prostitute as a votive offering to the temple of the Lord your God; for both are abominable to the Lord your God." In Leviticus 18:22, 20:13 the Holiness Code establishes the association of homosexual acts and idolatry. |

| | Leviticus, Deconstruction and the Body |
| | For him, the chapters on sexual transgression homologised women with the forbidden world of idolatry (an argument rather similar to Robert Carroll's)[2]; he was interested by the absence of Ezekiel's excremental fantasy in Leviticus, except in the pornoprophetic chapter 26, and its replacement by imagery of annihilation. | | | Richard Whitekettle persuasively argues that the womb in Leviticus corresponds to the waters of chaos in Genesis 1.2, which have to be contained for creation to unfold. | | | The second is the narrative account of the fate of the recreant, who is taken outside the camp and stoned, after the witnesses have laid their hands on him. |

| | The Sacred and the Mundane: The Message of Leviticus |
| | This historical context does not mean, however, that scholars think Leviticus was made up out of whole cloth by exiled priests in the sixth century B.C.E. No doubt the priestly writers brought to their task memories or traditions of what once had been and so should be again. | | | The third approach is to treat Leviticus as a symbolic or allegorical system that has little or nothing to do with sacrifices per se, but everything to do with teaching important lessons. | | | Although we do not have to do things exactly according to Leviticus, the book is not irrelevant. |
