And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.

And thou shalt sanctify all, and they shall be most holy: he that shall touch them shall be sanctified.

And thou shalt hallow them, that they may be most holy: whatever toucheth them shall be holy.

And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatever toucheth them shall be holy.

and thou hast sanctified them, and they have been most holy; all that is coming against them is holy;

And you are to make them most holy; anything touching them will become holy.

And you shall sanctify everything, and they shall be the Holy of holies. He who will touch them must be sanctified.

Ita sanctificabis ea, erunt sanctitas sanctitatum: quicquid tetigerit ea, sanctificabitur.

And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy,.... By anointing them, and so be set apart for sacred uses only; as by the grace of the Holy Spirit, the people of God, the vessels of mercy, are really sanctified, and made meet for the master's use; and therefore it is called the sanctification of the Spirit, which is true holiness, in opposition to typical or ceremonial holiness, here intended; and if this holy anointing oil made those things most holy that were anointed with it, how much more must the grace of the Spirit those who partake of it; and though it is at present imperfect, it will be perfected, and become complete holiness, without which no man can see the Lord:
whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy; as is said of the most holy altar; see Gill on Exodus 29:37. The Targum of Jonathan interprets it of persons that approach these holy places, and things so anointed and sanctified, paraphrasing the words thus;"whosoever cometh unto them of the priests shall be holy, but of the rest of the tribes shall be burnt with flaming fire before the Lord.''
