[The Holiness Code and the Priestly Code. Studies of Leviticus 17:1-26:2 from a Literary Historical and Legal Point of View. By Andreas Ruwe.]Published in German. In his study, the author presents a complete analysis of the so-called "Holiness Code" (Lev 17-26), one of the most important bodies of law in the Old Testament. Andreas Ruwe shows that the sequence of rules and legal regulations combined in this text possesses a systematic consistency. In addition, he succeeds in demonstrating that the Holiness Code is an integral part of the Priestly Code and the priestly role in the forming of the Pentateuch, since two of the commands contained it, observing the Sabbath and revering the sanctuary, not only form the conceptional basis for the structure of Lev 17-26 but also deal with the central religious institutions of the Priestly Code: Sabbath and sanctuary.
