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 [hagiazo,] from [a,] privative, and [gé,] the earth; because everything offered or consecrated to God was separated from all earthly uses. 12-15; 4:22; 22:29,30; 23:19; 34:19,20; Le 27:26; Nu 3:13; 8:16,17Nu 18:15; De 15:19; Lu 2:23; Heb 12:23Exodus 13:12

Heb. pass.This is an allusion to the solemn ceremony used by several ancient nations, when they entered into a covenant with each other. The victims, slain as a sacrifice on this occasion, were divided, and and parts laid asunder: the contracting parties then passed between them, imprecating, as a curse on those who violated the sacred compact, that they might in like manner be cut asunder. (Ge 15:10.) St. Cyril, in his work against Julian, shows that passing between the divided parts of a victim was used also among the Chaldeans and other people. into his oath.14; 2Ch 15:12-15; Ne 10:28,29Ezekiel 16:21

Aholibah, the name given to Judah, implies that the worship established there was from God, and that His temple was truly at Jerusalem. the elder.16:40; 1Ki 12:20they were.16:8,20; Ex 19:5,6; Ps 45:11-16; Jer 2:2,3; Ro 7:4Aholah. that is, His tent, or tabernacle.1Ki 12:26-33; Joh 4:22Aholibah. that is, My tabernacle in her.1Ki 8:29; Ps 76:2; 132:13,14
