HOLINESS IS LINKED WITH ABSTAINING FROM BLOOD

Leviticus 20:7 Sanctify yourselves therefore and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God.

Leviticus 20:18 And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness and shall uncover her nakedness; he has discovered her fountain and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
