거룩의 의미 (출 19:10-11)

19:10–11 Consecration means “making holy,” which means “making acceptable to be close to God.”283 The consecration demanded of the Israelites in this instance involved becoming spiritually ready to get close to God (thus the two days of preparation indicated in the words “be ready by the third day”) as well as eliminating that which was objectionable to God (thus the washing) and avoiding things that could distract from attention on God (thus the avoidance of sex required in v. 15).

283 The most basic meaning of the word “holy” (qādôš) in Hb. is “belonging to God.” In one way or another, anything that is correctly called holy is a thing that belongs specially to God.

Indeed, Israel’s law was not merely a law code but a covenant, a national agreement with Yahweh, whose purpose was to help people entrust themselves fully to him and live all of life under his gracious rule, not just a set of rules to control their behavior.

Douglas K. Stuart, Exodus (vol. 2; The New American Commentary; Nashville: Broadman & Holman Publishers, 2006), 541–542.

The greatest danger of allowing the inhabitants of the promised land to live was not the threat they could do harm to Israel’s peace but that they might keep Israel from being close and faithful to God, who was to be their exclusive focus (v. 33).
