Strong's Lexicon qadosh: Holy, sacred, set apart Original Word: קָדוֹשׁ Word Origin: Derived from the root קָדַשׁ (qadash), meaning "to be set apart" or "to be holy." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - ἅγιος (hagios) - Strong's Greek 40: Often used in the New Testament to describe the holiness of God, His people, and the Holy Spirit. Usage: The term "qadosh" primarily denotes something or someone that is set apart for a special purpose, often in relation to God. It signifies purity, sanctity, and separation from the common or profane. In the Hebrew Bible, "qadosh" is frequently used to describe God Himself, His people, places, and objects dedicated to His service. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, holiness was a central concept that defined the relationship between God and His people. The Israelites were called to be a "holy nation" (Exodus 19:6), distinct from other nations through their covenant with God. Holiness involved both moral purity and ritual cleanliness, reflecting God's nature and His requirements for worship and community life. The concept of holiness permeated various aspects of life, including the priesthood, the temple, and the observance of the Law.
