Holy vs Profane: Understanding Ritual Purity and Moral Impurity in Scripture Lesson 7

The Holiness Code and Everyday Life

Exploring the Holiness Code in Scripture

Welcome to Lesson 7 of our Bible study series, "Holy vs Profane: Understanding Ritual Purity and Moral Impurity in Scripture." In this lesson, we will explore the Holiness Code, a critical section of Leviticus that provides detailed instructions on how the Israelites were to live holy lives.

This lesson will help us understand how these ancient laws were designed to instill holiness in the daily lives of the Israelites and how these principles can apply to our lives today.

What You'll Learn in Lesson 7

Lesson 7 will focus on the Holiness Code, which spans Leviticus chapters 17-26. This section contains a variety of laws covering moral, ethical, and ritual behaviors. These laws were intended to set the Israelites apart as God's holy people and to provide practical guidelines for living in a way that honors God.

Key Scripture Readings

Our study will be anchored in key passages from Leviticus 19, which is often considered the heart of the Holiness Code. This chapter includes a range of commandments that emphasize justice, compassion, and holiness in everyday actions. We will also reference other parts of the Holiness Code to understand its comprehensive nature.
