Leviticus 22:1-3

What God is saying here in effect is that it is one thing to be a priest. It is another thing entirely to be a clean priest.

He is saying, "I am a holy God, and those who serve Me are also going to be holy." We read this back in the New Testament in the book of I Peter where Peter says, be you holy because He is holy. Holy means sanctified. Holy means different. Holy means clean. There are a number of connotations that you can put on it. God is saying that I am a clean God and I want those who serve Me also to be clean. Now, what manner of thing would render a person unclean?

Leviticus 22:1-2

That word "separate" could better be translated that they consecrate themselves—meaning dedicate themselves.
