SIBI-P1 H6942-28
the One setting them apart as holy
| Root | קדש (q-d-sh) |
| Core Meanings | holiness, sacredness, set-apartness, consecration, sanctification |
| Semantic Range | to make holy, consecrate, dedicate, sanctify, declare holy, treat as sacred, set apart for divine use |
| Conceptual Significance | In the biblical text, קדש expresses the fundamental distinction between the sacred and the common. When used of YHWH as "the One setting them apart as holy," it underscores His role as the source of Israel’s holiness, marking them as distinct and belonging to Him. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil participle masculine singular construct with 3mp pronominal suffix; causative stem indicating the subject causes holiness in "them." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root קדש carries the idea of setting apart or making holy. This form is a Hiphil masculine singular participle with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix, indicating "the one who causes them to be holy." The rendering preserves the causative force ("setting apart") and the plural object ("them"). |
