Berean Strong's Lexicon qadash: To consecrate, sanctify, set apart, make holy Original Word: קָדַשׁ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G37 (ἁγιάζω, hagiazō) - to make holy, consecrate, sanctify - G40 (ἅγιος, hagios) - holy, set apart Usage: The Hebrew verb "qadash" primarily means to set apart or consecrate something or someone for a sacred purpose. It is often used in the context of making something holy or dedicating it to God. This term is frequently applied to people, places, objects, and times that are designated for divine service or worship. The act of sanctification involves a separation from common use and a dedication to God's purposes. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of holiness was central to the community's relationship with God. The Israelites were called to be a holy nation, distinct from other peoples, reflecting God's holiness in their lives. The process of sanctification was integral to maintaining purity and devotion to God. This involved rituals, sacrifices, and adherence to the Law, which set the Israelites apart from surrounding nations. The tabernacle, temple, priests, and certain festivals were all sanctified, emphasizing their special status and purpose in worship.
