External Religion? u Is religion uniquely personal with few external requirements? u What is the “cult” in OT? u Importance of externals, approach and presence

What in life is secular and what is sacred? u What things are secular to you? u What things are sacred to you? u Leviticus=Whole of person’s life lived out in presence of God

What does holiness mean? u Key verse: Lev 19:2 “Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy (1 Pet 1:15f) u Root idea = separateness/distinctness/uniqueness u Isa 40:25: “To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal? Says the Holy one”—incomparability of YHWH

What does holiness mean? u Separateness does not = remoteness u Isa 57:15 “For this is what the high and lofty one says-- he who lives forever, whose name is holy; I live in a high and holy place but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit.”

What does holiness mean? u Does holiness mean we should be afraid of Him? u Dread: covering emphasis: Isa 6: holy, holy, holy,... I am a man of unclean lips...

What does holiness mean? u Holiness moves to the selection of a special people u Exod 19:6 “you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” u Can we make something holy? u Remember Sabbath to keep it holy; (Exod 20:8,11) u Sanctify something = make it holy (separate it); special things

What types of things can be holy? u Holy Things: u Olive Oil (Exod 30:25) u Incense (Exod 30:35) u Holy places u Exod 3:5 holy ground u Holy of holies place (Lev 16:16f) u Temple (Hab. 2:20) u Holy Mountain (Ps 2:6)

How are things made holy? u Designation / sanctified / set apart for special purpose u Transmission of holiness: touch + oil u Touch altar = holy (Exod 29:37) u —Jesus Mt 9:20ff unclean woman
