Leviticus, Greek for "for the levites," is historically viewed as a set of rules and rituals for priests, not the common society. There's a reason that most of Leviticus is ignored by Christians (and even Jews) - it's not really intended to apply to them. Taking any of the rules as "rules for the masses" is a dramatic misunderstanding of the history of the Bible.
