Qodesh signifie sainteté : être mis à part, sacré, consacré à Dieu. Le mot marque la différence fondamentale entre Dieu et tout ce qui est commun, et tout ce que Dieu consacre pour lui.

Qodesh is the quality of being set apart from the ordinary and devoted to God — the root behind “holy,” “sanctuary,” and “sanctify.” The temple’s inner room was the “Most Holy” (qodesh haqodashim) place.

Holiness flows from God’s own nature: he is utterly distinct, pure, and good. He calls his people to share that set-apart life — “you shall be holy, for I am holy” — not to earn his love but to reflect it.
