These consequences are set out in terms of community relationships and behaviour.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first 16 chapters and the last chapter make up the Priestly Code, with rules for ritual cleanliness, sin-offerings, and the Day of Atonement, including Chapter 12, which mandates male circumcision. Chapters 17–26 contain the Holiness Code, including the injunction in chapter 19 to \"love one's neighbor as oneself\" (the Great Commandment). The book is largely concerned with \"abominations\", largely dietary and sexual restrictions. The rules are generally addressed to the Israelites, except for several prohibitions applied equally to \"the strangers that sojourn in Israel.\"\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to Jewish and Christian tradition, God dictated the Book of Leviticus to Moses as He did the other books of the Bible. Modern scholarship sees it as a product of the Priestly source and the 5th century BCE.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Leviticus","playStationPath":"/stations/114677041/play","stationId":114677041,"bioPath":"/music/Leviticus/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Benny+Page","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/cdc/cdc4cd84ade5be6f0c419f621d679baf_md.jpg","artistName":"Benny Page","artistId":122234,"station_id":283947260},{"musicPath":"/music/Krome+Time","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/3a0/3a0f7b010265a80fac0460dca5c31d52_md.jpg","artistName":"Krome \u0026 Time","artistId":5740,"station_id":114123556},{"musicPath":"/music/LTJ+Bukem","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/bf9/bf9a0b5902185a6a13c0f7673f821280_md.jpg","artistName":"LTJ Bukem","artistId":511,"station_id":113289159},{"musicPath":"/music/Photek","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e22/e2250b88d9e88e5b772f37c51db11c7e_md.jpg","artistName":"Photek","artistId":608,"station_id":113300507},{"musicPath":"/music/DJ+Rap","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/433/433894e63f96c800cfd082ba988e0851_md.jpg","artistName":"DJ Rap","artistId":4723,"station_id":113564182},{"musicPath":"/music/4Hero","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/165/1657cfb8f285fc34270980bad57c23e5_md.jpg","artistName":"4Hero","artistId":4307,"station_id":113504134},{"musicPath":"/music/Europe","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e18/e187827a36c275fd81279fa1b469a2dd_md.jpg","artistName":"Europe","artistId":390,"station_id":113263613},{"musicPath":"/music/Dokken","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/96f/96f6f3ccecc0656106cd64cab94d8e44_md.jpg","artistName":"Dokken","artistId":11373,"station_id":113263170},{"musicPath":"/music/Peshay","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b0b/b0b8886cd319b41ee5353747774dda45_md.jpg","artistName":"Peshay","artistId":3903,"station_id":115475651},{"musicPath":"/music/Guardian","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a3f/a3f413deeef5f9c575f0490cc0e16025_md.jpg","artistName":"Guardian","artistId":107368,"station_id":281656680},{"musicPath":"/music/Holy+Soldier","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/22f/22f533dcb30e5645288413521544649f_md.jpg","artistName":"Holy Soldier","artistId":121749,"station_id":283708821},{"musicPath":"/music/Ed+Rush","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/0d4/0d4ced5dec1138dcc47e6399e5c25a0b_md.jpg","artistName":"Ed Rush","artistId":132197,"station_id":285483978},{"musicPath":"/music/E+Z+Rollers","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/4ad/4adb42e4b6942ab27b10f3cafd773690_md.jpg","artistName":"E-Z Rollers","artistId":4300,"station_id":114058746},{"musicPath":"/music/Goldie","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/076/076b91996cc709a10813c8e3c5aeb94e_md.jpg","artistName":"Goldie","artistId":424,"station_id":113456487},{"musicPath":"/music/Magnum","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/608/6089757de8198d97059503928bb43b5c_md.jpg","artistName":"Magnum","artistId":13681,"station_id":113355937},{"musicPath":"/music/Wax+Doctor","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/472/472a2505cd8ac26ead122c790d601fa5_md.jpg","artistName":"Wax Doctor","artistId":3907,"station_id":115421581},{"musicPath":"/music/Savage+Grace","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d0a/d0a467eb6de312232895f2916cf40e00_md.jpg","artistName":"Savage Grace","artistId":113570,"station_id":282569418},{"musicPath":"/music/2+Bad+Mice","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/8b7/8b7ff71486b3a6f75ed4c787b8b1409c_md.jpg","artistName":"2 Bad Mice","artistId":132181,"station_id":285483971}]}
