what is the holy of holies in the old testament
Holy of Holies The Holy of Holies (Tiberian Hebrew: קֹדֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁים‎ Qṓḏeš HaQŏḏāšîm) is a term in the Hebrew Bible which refers to the inner sanctuary of the Tabernacle where God dwelt. The Ark is said to have contained the Ten Commandments, which were given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai. It is thought to be located under the Dome of the Rock.
Holiness code The Holiness Code is a term used in biblical criticism to refer to Leviticus chapters 17â€“26, and is so called due to its highly repeated use of the word Holy.[1] Critical biblical scholars have regarded it as a distinct unit and have noted that the style is noticeably different from the main body of Leviticus.[2] Unlike the remainder of Leviticus, the many laws of the Holiness Code are expressed very closely packed together, and very briefly.
