to holy-separateness
| Root | קדש (q-d-š) |
| Core Meanings | set apart, consecrate, make holy, dedicate, be separate |
| Semantic Range | holiness, sacredness, consecrated state; a holy thing; sacred place (sanctuary); that which is set apart for divine use |
| Conceptual Significance | קֹדֶשׁ expresses the foundational biblical concept of being set apart unto YHWH. It marks persons, times, objects, and spaces as distinct from common use, underscoring Israel’s calling to live in devoted separation and covenantal dedication to their Elohim. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ ("to/for") + masculine singular noun in construct state (Ncmsc) from קֹדֶשׁ. The construct form indicates a relational link to a following noun, even when not explicitly represented here. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun קֹדֶשׁ derives from the root קדשׁ, expressing the state of being set apart or consecrated. The prefixed לְ indicates direction or purpose ("to/for"), and the masculine singular construct form links the idea of "holy-separateness" to what follows in context. "Holy-separateness" preserves the root sense of being set apart rather than using the more abstract "holiness." |
