	Holiness code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Holiness Code appears at Leviticus 17-26, and is so called due to its highly repeated use of the word Holy.
		In the documentary hypothesis, the Holiness Code is considered part of the Priestly source.
		A similar comparison with the covenant code implies that the date of the Holiness Code is between that of the Covenant Code, and that of the Deuteronomic Code, highly suitable for the position it finds itself within the torah.

		It is not a unitary, harmonious code: the two parts have a different order, the peace-offering occurring in a different position in the two parts.
		The regulations of this code sometimes resemble those of Deuteronomy, sometimes those of P; and as it traverses at times the legislation of both, there can be no doubt that it once formed a separate body of laws.

		The very first sentence of the Holiness code assumes the ethical basis of our relationship with God, and that that very ethical basis should be our guide in our life’s quest to find out what it is that God demands from us.
		Just as God is holy — so are we to be holy — the very essence of this is further expanded in the Holiness Code as ethical behaviour, interspersed with proper ritual conduct.
		What makes the Holiness Code so appropriate for Yom Kippur is that it focuses on what this day really means to achieve; namely an active, conscious commitment to change from personal indifference towards a dedication to attain a just society.

		Holiness is not simply one positive God quality among many; it defines all of God’s other attributes or characteristics.
		When we speak of God’s qualities or characteristics, we sometimes say that He is holy, and just, and loving, and all-powerful, etc. But His holiness really is not just one of those characteristics, it is who He is, and all other characteristics of God stem from His holiness and are defined by His holiness.
