Leviticus can also be called “The Book of the Law of the Priests” as it contains very little historical matter, concerning itself with priestly legislation and the practice of the Law among the people. Much importance is placed upon Israel’s separation from all heathen influences so that the nation may retain its religious purity.

Leviticus 24

24:14 Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
