Leviticus 11:41-44
Summary for Lev 11:44-45: 11:44-45 a I am the Lord your God: See study note on 18:2.• be holy, because I am holy: These words express the dominant theme of Leviticus: God is holy. He must be regarded and treated as holy, and he expects holiness from his people (10:3 b; 19:2 c). The profound teaching of this verse is that God’s own nature permeates those who covenant with him (see also 11:45 d; 20:7 e, 26 f; 21:8 g, 15 h; 22:9 i, 16 j, 32 k), and they become his holy people (Exod 22:31 l; Deut 28:9 m; cp. 1 Pet 1:16 n).
