What was Israel to be like in their relationship to God? How were they supposed to live? How could they maintain their distinctive qualities as a people related to God when they settled in a land inhabited by pagan nations who did not know God? These questions are as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago. In the book of Leviticus, we see the walk and worship of the redeemed and are first introduced to the name Jehovah Mekadesh – The God who Sanctifies. While this name often gets overlooked in the English Bible, there is no other name for God that adequately expresses His nature and the requirements He places on His people.
