- Sanctify:
- The word kadash is to consecrate, separate, and set apart a person or thing from all common or secular purposes to some religious use; and exactly answers to the Greek αγιαζω, from α, privative, and γη, the earth; because everything offered or consecrated to God was separated from all earthly uses. "That thou shalt set apartª° unto the LORDª all¹ that openethª the matrix,ª and every¹ firstlingª that comethª of a beastª which¹ thou hast;¹ the malesª [shall be] the LORD'S.ª ... And it came to pass,¹ when¹ Pharaohª would hardlyª° let us go,ª° that the LORDª slewª° all¹ the firstbornª in the landª of Egypt,ª both the firstbornª¹ of man,ª and the firstbornª of beast:ª therefore¹¹ I¹ sacrificeª° to the LORDª all¹ that openethª the matrix,ª being males;ª but all¹ the firstbornª of my childrenª I redeem.ª°" {Exd 13:12-15} + "And thou shalt sayª° unto¹ Pharaoh,ª Thus¹ saithª° the LORD,ª Israelª [is] my son,ª [even] my firstborn:ª" {Exd 4:22} + "Thou shalt not¹ delayª° [to offer] the first of thy ripe fruits,ª and of thy liquors:ª the firstbornª of thy sonsª shalt thou giveª° unto me. ... Likewiseª shalt thou doª° with thine oxen,ª [and] with thy sheep:ª sevenª daysª it shall be¹ with¹ his dam;ª on the eighthª dayª thou shalt giveª° it me." {Exd 22:29-30} + "The firstª of the firstfruitsª of thy landª thou shalt bringª° into the houseª of the LORDª thy God.ª Thou shalt not¹ seetheª° a kidª in his mother'sª milk.ª" {Exd 23:19} + "All¹ that openethª the matrixª [is] mine; and every¹ firstlingª among thy cattle,ª [whether] oxª or sheep,ª [that is male].²°¹ ... But the firstlingª of an assª thou shalt redeemª° with a lamb:ª and if¹ thou redeemª° [him] not,¹ then shalt thou break his neck.ª° All¹ the firstbornª of thy sonsª thou shalt redeem.ª° And none¹ shall appearª° beforeª me empty.ª" {Exd 34:19-20} + "Only¹ the firstlingª of the beasts,ª which¹ should be the LORD'Sª firstling,ª° no¹ manª shall sanctifyª° it; whether¹ [it be] ox,ª or¹ sheep:ª it¹ [is] the LORD'S.ª" {Lev 27:26} + "Because¹ all¹ the firstbornª [are] mine; [for] on the dayª that I smoteª° all¹ the firstbornª in the landª of Egyptª I hallowedª° unto me all¹ the firstbornª in Israel,ª both manª¹ and¹ beast:ª mine shall they be:¹ I¹ [am] the LORD.ª" {Num 3:13} + "For¹ they¹ [are] wholly givenª° unto me from amongª¹ the childrenª of Israel;ª instead of¹ such as openª every¹ womb,ª [even instead of] the firstbornª of all¹ the childrenª¹ of Israel,ª have I takenª° them unto me. ... For¹ all¹ the firstbornª of the childrenª of Israelª [are] mine, [both] manª and beast:ª on the dayª that I smoteª° every¹ firstbornª in the landª of Egyptª I sanctifiedª° them for myself." {Num 8:16-17} + "Every thing¹ that openethª the matrixª in all¹ flesh,ª which¹ they bringª° unto the LORD,ª [whether it be] of menª or beasts,ª shall be¹ thine: nevertheless¹¹ the firstbornª of manª shalt thou surely²° redeem,ª° and the firstlingª of uncleanª beastsª shalt thou redeem.ª°" {Num 18:15} + "All¹ the firstlingª malesª that¹ comeª° of thy herdª and of thy flockª thou shalt sanctifyª° unto the LORDª thy God:ª thou shalt do no¹ workª° with the firstlingª of thy bullock,ª nor¹ shearª° the firstlingª of thy sheep.ª" {Deu 15:19} + "(Asª it is writtenª° inª the lawª of the Lord,ª² Everyª maleª that openethª° the wombª shall be calledª° holyª to the¹ Lord;)ª" {Lke 2:23} + "To the general assemblyª andª churchª of the firstborn,ª which are writtenª° inª heaven,ª andª to Godª the Judgeª of all,ª andª to the spiritsª of just menª made perfect,ª°" {Hbr 12:23}
