BrLXX ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ ἀναγαγὼν ὑμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου εἶναι ὑμῶν Θεός· καὶ ἔσεσθε ἅγιοι, ὅτι ἅγιός εἰμι ἐγὼ Κύριος.

11:45 brought you up from the land of Egypt: This or a similar phrase is found often throughout the Pentateuch (see 19:36; 22:33; 25:38; 26:13; Exod 13:9; 20:2; Num 15:41; Deut 4:37). Each time, it reminds the Israelites, God’s covenant people, of God’s great act in liberating them from Egypt. The Exodus event is frequently commemorated elsewhere in the Old Testament (Pss 80:8; 106:21; Isa 11:16; Jer 34:13; Hos 12:9; 13:4; Amos 2:10).
Holiness by Relationship
Holiness refers to God’s transcendent character (Lev 10:3). How can we, finite creatures who have fallen into sin, be holy as God is holy?
We can never become transcendent like God. We will always be finite creatures, and our holiness cannot be absolute the way God’s holiness is. Thus our holiness does not refer to our own nature and character. Instead, it refers to our relationship with God.
When God declares a place to be holy, it is because he manifests himself there (see Exod 3:5); if his presence is withdrawn, the place reverts to being ordinary. When God declares an object to be holy, such as an altar (Exod 29:44-46), it is because it was built in the manner prescribed by God and has been accepted by God for his service. Its relationship to God makes it holy as nothing else could.
It is the same for people. We are told to be holy because God is holy (Lev 19:2; 1 Pet 1:15-16). Such holiness can only be imputed to humans. Without a relationship with God, true holiness remains elusive, no matter how good, pious, or disciplined a person’s life might be. Only God can make people holy (Exod 31:13; Lev 20:8; 22:32). God promises to be with his people and make their holiness possible (Hos 11:9; see Isa 35:8-10).
The church, like Israel of the Old Testament, shares a relationship with God. Our adoption as God’s children allows us to become godly people (see Exod 4:22; Rom 8:14; Gal 3:26; 1 Jn 3:2). The atoning death of Jesus, the Holy One, makes it possible for all who call on him by faith to enjoy a right relationship with him (Rom 5:12-21), which serves as the basis of our holiness (see 1 Cor 6:11). We can be holy in our standing with God as well as in our conduct toward other people—but only through our connection to the holy God.
