1st Day of Unleavened BYeHoVaH said that Israel (the New Nation of Israel, not the man Israel) was His firstborn. To Sanctify is to set apart, to consecrate, to make holy. By sanctifying the firstborn, man has been given the ability to hallow or make holy that which has been given to him by YeHoVaH.
We are commanded to be Holy as YeHoVaH is Holy. To be holy, as YeHoVaH is Holy, requires observing those things that YeHoVaH made Holy.
