Leviticus is dominated by the topic of holiness. Its prominence derives from the fact that God is holy. Although Leviticus emphasizes God’s power to sanctify, or make holy, other people or objects, it also highlights the danger posed by the moral and ritual uncleanness associated with human behavior. Holiness and uncleanness are presented as mutually exclusive. Consequently, for the Israelites to enjoy a close and meaningful relationship with God, they must reflect his holiness in their daily lives. Since differing degrees of holiness and uncleanness exist, the Israelites are divinely exhorted, “Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy” (19:2; cf. 11:44-45; 20:26).
