In this paper I proposed that these chapters have to do with "sustaining a functional social structure through maintaining the social identity." This is expressed in the prohibitions which may be grouped into three: (1) social roles or identity (vv. 7-18), sexual functions (vv. 19, 20, 22, 23), and cultic identity (v. 21). In these chapters, Israel is differentiated from other nations through its cultural and cultic distinctive. A short theological reflection is provided at the end of the paper. The theological reflection is partly for Philippines context.
