Bible Verses About the Holy One of Jacob: 12

"When they see among them their children, the work of my hands, they will keep my name holy; they will acknowledge the holiness of the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel."

— Isaiah 29:23 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about the Holy One of Jacob want Scripture on Isaiah 29:23's qedosh ya'akov — the LORD named Holy One of Jacob whose holiness Jacob's children acknowledge — not only the Holy One of Israel qadosh yisrael title alone, or the Mighty One of Jacob abir ya'akov title alone (Isaiah 49:26 stays on that page). This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about the Holy One of Israel, Bible verses about the Mighty One of Jacob, Bible verses about the rock of Israel, Bible verses about the living God, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about God's love, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about Christ, Bible verses about worship, Bible verses about salvation, and Bible verse of the day. Holy One of Jacob here means Isaiah 29:23's distinct Jacob title — not Holy One of Israel alone and not Mighty One of Jacob alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, קָדוֹשׁ / קְדוֹשׁ qadosh / qedosh (Strong's H6918; Bible Hub H6918) means holy / set apart, and יַעֲקֹב ya'akov (Strong's H3290; Bible Hub H3290) is Jacob. Isaiah 29:23 joins them — the Holy One of Jacob. This list tracks that Holy-One-of-Jacob title and related God-of-Jacob / holiness-acknowledged-with-Jacob speech, not every Holy One of Israel verse and not abir ya'akov (Mighty One of Jacob) verses. (Isaiah 29:23's parallel "God of Israel" line stays here as context for the Jacob title — it is not used as a lead on the god-of-israel page.)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Isaiah 29 presses that Jacob's children will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob and fear the God of Israel (Bible Hub MHC Isaiah 29; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Isaiah 29). (Holy One of Israel and Mighty One of Jacob live on those pages; this list centers qedosh ya'akov.)

Questions people ask

What is a good Bible verse about the Holy One of Jacob?

Isaiah 29:23 (acknowledge the holiness of the Holy One of Jacob) is the clear starting place; Exodus 3 and Matthew 22:32 press God-of-Jacob speech that frames the same holy Name.

How do Bible verses about the Holy One of Jacob differ from Holy One of Israel or Mighty One of Jacob alone?

Holy One of Israel tracks Isaiah's qadosh yisrael; Mighty One of Jacob tracks abir ya'akov (Isaiah 49:26). This list centers qedosh ya'akov — Holy One of Jacob — a distinct Jacob title.

What Hebrew words sit under Holy One of Jacob?

Qedosh / qadosh (H6918) — holy — and ya'akov (H3290) — Jacob.

Why isn't Isaiah 49:26 on this page?

Isaiah 49:26 names the Mighty One of Jacob (abir); that exclusive lead stays on the mighty-one-of-jacob page so the two Jacob hubs stay distinct.

Where should I start if I only read one page?

Start here for Holy One of Jacob; open Holy One of Israel for qadosh yisrael; open Mighty One of Jacob for abir ya'akov.
