Holiness Code

The "Holiness Code" is a literary and legal unit within the Pentateuch, specifically comprising Leviticus 17–26, that is distinguished by its recurring emphasis on ritual purity, ethical injunctions, and the divine imperative to holiness as expressed through the formulaic refrain "You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy."
