Vayikra 20:7 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 20:7

Sanctify yourselves therefore
By abstaining from such impious and idolatrous practices, and separating themselves from all that gave into them, as well as by observing the holy commandments of the Lord; otherwise internal sanctification is not the work of man, but of the Lord himself, as in ( Leviticus 20:8 ) :

and be ye holy;
or a separate people from all others in worship and conversation:

for I [am] the Lord your God;
who is a holy God, and therefore it became them to be holy, in imitation of him, ( Leviticus 19:2 ) .

Vayikra 20:7 In-Context

5 Then I will set My face against that ish, and against his mishpochah, and will cut him off, and all that go awhoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.

6 And the nefesh that turneth to Ovos (Mediums) and Yidonim (Spiritists), to go a-whoring after them, I will even set My face against that nefesh, and will cut him off from among his people.

7 Consecrate yourselves as kadosh, therefore, and be ye kedoshim: for I am Hashem Eloheichem.

8 And ye shall be shomer over My chukkot, and do them: I am Hashem who sets you apart as kodesh.

9 For every one that curseth his av or his em shall be surely put to death; he hath cursed his av or his em; his dahm shall be upon him.
