  1. As deSilva frames it, holy is a term “referring to special spaces or things that have been set apart from the ordinary (the common) as belonging in some special way to God.” Holiness is then the quality of being set apart in this way. How does this quality relate to the conditions of purity and impurity? Record your own answer in your Workbook Journal and then click below to check your answer.
Holiness

The state of purity made people compatible with holiness and capable of approaching holy spaces. Impurity conflicted with holiness and rendered people incapable of interaction with holiness. Only once impurity was cleansed was one able to approach the holy.
