Holiness, Purity, the Body, and Society: the Evidence for Theological Conflict in Leviticus

Gonzaga University Spokane, WA 99258, USA

Israel Knohl's recently advanced hypothesis that the Holiness Code answers and mildly corrects the Priestly Work receives qualified support in a study of the use of words related to the roots ? and ? in Leviticus 1-16 and 17-26. But contrary to Knohl's view that the Holiness Codes still reflects priestly interests, this study shows that the different uses of the roots in the two parts of Leviticus suggest a democratization and laicization of holiness in Leviticus 17-26 and may imply a pol emic on the part of the Holiness Code's authors against the authors of Leviticus 1-16.
