Q: What do *qādôš* and *yiśrāʾēl* mean?

Hebrew qādôš (H6918) means holy or set apart; yiśrāʾēl (H3478) means Israel. Together they form Isaiah's title "the Holy One of Israel."

— Isaiah 54:5 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about Holy One of Israel want Scripture on Isaiah's covenant title the Holy One of Israel — Hebrew qādôš yiśrāʾēl (H6918 + H3478) — not only the broader Holy One survey, and not holiness as practice alone.

Holy One of Israel here means the Lord bound to his people by that Isaiah title — distinct from Holy One inventories or holiness-practice lists alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, קָדוֹשׁ qādôš (Strong's H6918; Bible Hub H6918) — holy, set apart; with יִשְׂרָאֵל yiśrāʾēl (H3478; Bible Hub H3478) — Israel. Isaiah joins them again and again as "the Holy One of Israel." This list tracks that Holy One of Israel / qādôš yiśrāʾēl vocabulary, not every Holy One or holiness inventory alone.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Isaiah 1 presses that the Holy One of Israel is provoked by a sinful nation that forsakes him (Bible Hub MHC Isaiah 1; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Isaiah 1). On Isaiah 41 he notes the Holy One of Israel as the Redeemer who helps Jacob's worm (Bible Hub MHC Isaiah 41; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Isaiah 41). On Isaiah 43 he presses the Lord's claim as Holy One and Savior of his people (Bible Hub MHC Isaiah 43; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Isaiah 43). (Holy One and holiness live on those pages; this list centers qādôš yiśrāʾēl.)
