Jehovah-mekoddishkem

The God who sanctifies.

qâdash
kaw-dash'
A primitive root; to be made clean (ceremonially or morally): - appoint, bid, consecrate, dedicate, defile, hallow, (be, keep) holy (-er, place), keep, prepare, proclaim, purify, sanctify (-ied one, self)

 

Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God.

And ye shall keep My statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctify you. Lev 20:7-8

 

A God separate from all that is evil requires His people to be cleansed from all evil.

Oh, how we need this sanctifying power of God in our world, in our very lives today!
