Leviticus 18:22, 20:13. Laws found in Leviticus 17-26 concern ritual purity in the daily life of Hebrew society. These laws have been recognized as a discrete entity and designated a “Holiness Code.” Moses prefaces chapter 18 with an injunction to refrain from following the practices of the idolatrous nations of Canaan and Egypt. The intent of laws that forbid mixing two kinds of crops in a field, wearing garments woven of two kinds of fabric, cross-breeding two kinds of animals, or trimming hair and beards in the fashion of heathen nations, seems to be, either symbolically or in actual practice, separation from the practices of heathen peoples.
