In the middle of Parshat Acharei Mot, an abrupt change takes place in Sefer Vayikra.
Even though its first 17 chapters dealt exclusively with laws that relate to the Mishkan, in chapter 18 we find a complete section about forbidden marital relationships [better known as the “arayot”] that appear to be totally unrelated to the Mishkan.
Then, in Parshat Kedoshim, we find yet another set of laws (mostly ethical) that have almost no connection at all to the Mishkan.
So what keeps Sefer Vayikra together?
