set-apartness
| Root | קדש (q-d-sh) |
| Core Meanings | set apart, consecrate, make holy, dedicate, treat as sacred |
| Semantic Range | holiness, sacredness, consecrated state, holy thing, sacred object, sanctuary, holy portion, holy day |
| Conceptual Significance | קֹדֶשׁ expresses the fundamental biblical concept of being set apart to יהוה—whether a place, object, time, or people. It marks the boundary between the common and the sacred, underscoring covenant identity, divine presence, and the ordered distinction between what belongs to יהוה and what is ordinary. |
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew noun, common masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa); derived from the verbal root קדש; functions as both an abstract noun (holiness) and a concrete noun (holy thing/place). |
| Rendering Rationale | קֹדֶשׁ is a masculine singular absolute noun derived from the root קדש, "to set apart, consecrate." The rendering "set-apartness" preserves the core idea of separation unto sacred purpose while reflecting the singular noun form without adding number or gender not present in English. |
