TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

God’s Absolute Holiness

Holiness is the fundamental descriptor of who God is. It is not merely one of his many attributes; it is the key to his very being. Calling God “the Holy One” speaks to the transcendence of his nature, in sharp contrast to the finite creation, whose creatures are bound by time and space. God speaks of himself as “I Am Who I Am” (Exod 3:14), defining himself by himself. God is the Wholly Other, the One who is completely self-sufficient and distinct from the created order.

God’s holiness also speaks of his character. It is common to describe God’s holiness in terms of his separation from sin and his wrath against it, but the notion of holiness embraces all of God’s character, including his mercy. God revealed himself to Moses as the “God of compassion and mercy.” He said, “I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.” In his holiness, God shows this “unfailing love to a thousand generations. I forgive iniquity, rebellion, and sin. But I do not excuse the guilty” (Exod 34:6-7).

God’s holiness can be deadly to uninvited intruders (Isa 6:3, 5; see Exod 28:35) or to those who treat it with contempt. His infinite holiness is too much for finite, fallen mortals and would utterly destroy them apart from God’s mercy. Understanding God’s holiness should thus trigger a response of awe and reverence. Anything less would be profane. Perhaps this was the error that cost Nadab and Abihu their lives (Lev 10:1-3). Only in recognizing the awesomeness of God can we appreciate his great love for us and worship him appropriately and authentically.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

הוּא֩ אֲשֶׁר־ דִּבֶּ֨ר יְהוָ֤ה׀ לֵ⁠אמֹר֙ בִּ⁠קְרֹבַ֣⁠י אֶקָּדֵ֔שׁ וְ⁠עַל־ פְּנֵ֥י כָל־ הָ⁠עָ֖ם אֶכָּבֵ֑ד

he/it which/who he/it_had_said YHWH to=say in/on/at/with,near,me show_~_holy and,in face/surface_of all the,people honoured

This has a quotation within a quotation. You can state this as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: “This is what Yahweh spoke when he said that he would show himself to be holy among those who draw near to him and that he would be honored on the faces of all the people”

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

לֵ⁠אמֹר֙

to=say

The word translated as saying introduces a direct quotation. In your translation, consider ways in which you might introduce this quotation naturally in your language.

בִּ⁠קְרֹבַ֣⁠י

in/on/at/with,near,me

Alternate translation: “Among the priests who offer sacrifices to me”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֶקָּדֵ֔שׁ

show_~_holy

The expression I will show myself to be holy implies that, by killing Aaron’s sons who had sinned, either: (1) Yahweh demonstrated that he alone is God. He is not only set apart from sin, but he is also perfect and powerful. Alternate translation: “I will show that I am God and that I alone am set apart from sin” or (2) Yahweh removed the impurity caused by the sins of Nadab and Abihu, thus purifying himself. Alternate translation: “I will purify myself from the impurity of people’s sin”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠עַל־פְּנֵ֥י כָל־הָ⁠עָ֖ם

and,in face/surface_of all the,people

Here, the faces of all the people refers to the people’s faculties of sight and, by extension, what they can see. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “And in the sight of all the people”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

אֶכָּבֵ֑ד

honoured

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “people will honor me”
