The chosen methodology of rhetorical analysis (with an emphasis upon terminological patterns) shows a carefully composed text. The basic working hypothesis that "Leviticus" has been artistically structured around 37 divine speeches ("and the Lord spoke/sad to Moses (and Aaron)") with chapter 16 as its possible structural and theological centre has been substantiated both on the microstructural and macrostructural levels. The plethora of significant micro- and macrostructural terminological patterns suggests original literary cohesiveness and hence single-handed authorship. These findings are of special significance regarding the so-called "P" and "H" passages, a "layer of priestly reworking", and, even more, the exegesis and theology of "Leviticus".
