Parallels

  • Lev.19.1 (verbal): Same introductory formula—'And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying'—leading into the Holiness Code; a close verbal and structural parallel within Leviticus.
  • Lev.20.1 (verbal): Identical formula introducing a subsequent set of commands and penalties; demonstrates the repeated Levitical pattern of divine speech to Moses.
  • Num.15.1 (verbal): Uses the same wording ('And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying') to introduce laws about offerings and vows—shows continuity of Mosaic legal instructions across the Pentateuch.
  • Exod.20.1 (thematic): 'And God spoke all these words, saying' functions similarly as a divine speech formula introducing commandments; thematically parallels Leviticus 18.1 as an authoritative legal pronouncement from God to Israel (note slight variation in divine name and wording).

Parallels

  • Lev.19.2 (verbal): Same introductory formula addressed to Israel — 'Speak to the whole congregation of the people of Israel... I am the LORD your God' (call to holiness and obedience).
  • Lev.20.7 (verbal): Repeats the divine self-identification in a parallel exhortation to consecrate and be holy: 'Consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, for I am the LORD your God.'
  • Lev.11.44 (verbal): Uses the same phrase 'for I am the LORD your God' as the basis for ritual/ethical instruction (here dietary and purity laws), linking legislation to divine identity and holiness.
  • Exod.20.2 (structural): Covenantal preface 'I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt' — the same divine claim functions as the ground for commandments (structurally analogous to Lev.18.2's legal introduction).

Parallels

  • Lev.18.4 (structural): Immediate continuation/contrast within the same chapter: commands to follow God's statutes rather than the practices of Egypt or Canaan.
  • Lev.20.23 (verbal): Repeats warning not to follow the statutes of the nations (Egypt and Canaan) and links obedience to possession/cleansing of the land.
  • Deut.18.9 (thematic): General prohibition against adopting the 'abominable practices' of the inhabitants of the land — same concern about imitating local cultic/sexual customs.
  • Deut.12.29-31 (thematic): Warns Israel, upon entering Canaan, not to inquire after the nations' gods or copy their ritual practices — parallel motive and language.
  • Exod.34.12-16 (allusion): Commands against making covenants with Canaanites or adopting their gods, lest Israel be led into idolatry — similar prohibition against assimilating local ways.

Parallels

  • Leviticus 20:22 (verbal): Repeats the command to keep all God's statutes and judgments and the concluding designation 'I am the LORD your God,' echoing Lev 18:4's authority claim.
  • Leviticus 19:37 (verbal): Another close command to observe God's laws with the same closing affirmation 'I am the LORD,' reinforcing the legal/culpability theme.
  • Deuteronomy 5:33 (thematic): Commands Israel to walk in all the ways the LORD has commanded so that they may live and prosper—the broader Deuteronomic theme of obedience to divine statutes for life.
  • Leviticus 26:3 (thematic): Promises blessing if Israel walks in God's statutes and observes his commandments, paralleling Lev 18:4's call to follow God's laws and the covenantal consequences of obedience.
