what is the holiness code in the bible
Holiness code The Holiness Code is a term used in biblical criticism to refer to Leviticus chapters 17â€“26, and is so called due to its highly repeated use of the word Holy.[1] Critical biblical scholars have regarded it as a distinct unit and have noted that the style is noticeably different from the main body of Leviticus.[2] Unlike the remainder of Leviticus, the many laws of the Holiness Code are expressed very closely packed together, and very briefly.
