Its hot... in Topeka.

Leviticus deliberately puts the laws of honest dealings at the center and sexual sins at the periphery… This does not mean that sexual dieviations are not counted as sinful, but it does imply that they are less significant than sins against justice, false oaths, stealing, cheating, and false witnesses… The lesson here is not that holiness is purely a matter of the cult but that holiness requires in ritual contexts correspondence to what God’s people must do for each other in secular contexts.
