Abstract

EVEN A CASUAL READING OF THE BOOK OF LEVITICUS reveals evidence of structure in the book. The sacrifices recorded in chapters 1:1-6:7, for instance, are arranged from the most costly to the least costly. Chapters 11-15 deal with the clean and the unclean; and some have called Leviticus 17-26 the "holiness code."
