The Priestly Code is the name given, by academia, to the body of laws expressed in the Torah which do not form part of Deuteronomy, the Holiness Code, the Covenant Code, the Ritual Decalogue, or the Ethical Decalogue. The Priestly Code thus constitutes the majority of Leviticus, as well as most of the laws expressed in Numbers. The code forms a large portion, approximately one third, of the mitzvos of the torah, and thus is a major source of Jewish Law.

  • The Priestly Code is the name given, by academia, to the body of laws expressed in the Torah which do not form part of Deuteronomy, the Holiness Code, the Covenant Code, the Ritual Decalogue, or the Ethical Decalogue. The Priestly Code thus constitutes the majority of Leviticus, as well as most of the laws expressed in Numbers. The code forms a large portion, approximately one third, of the mitzvos of the torah, and thus is a major source of Jewish Law. It is termed the priestly code due to its large concern with ritual and the priesthood, and also, in critical scholarship, it is defined as the whole of the law code believed to be present in the Priestly Source except for the Holiness Code. It should be understood that, under the documentary hypothesis, while the Priestly Code is believed to be created to rival the Ethical Decalogue and Covenant Code, it is thought, however, to have been intended as only supplementary to the Holiness Code.
