About this episode
This episode explores the Holiness Code in Leviticus 18-27 and its implications for the moral and spiritual life of Israel.
Leviticus 18–27 forms a distinct theological unit often called the Holiness Code. Its central refrain is unmistakable: “You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy.” What is striking here is who is addressed. In earlier chapters of Leviticus, holiness is largely concentrated in sacred space—the tabernacle—and sacred people—the priests. In these chapters, all Israel is called to holiness, and the entire land becomes morally and spiritually responsive to human behaviour. Holiness is not merely ritual purity, but a whole-of-life response to the presence of a holy God dwelling among His people.
