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 18

18:28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
