Bible Verses About Jehovah Mekoddishkem: 12

"Say to the Israelites, 'You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy.'"

— Exodus 31:13 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about Jehovah Mekoddishkem want Scripture on the Exodus 31:13 Name — YHWH meqaddishkem / "The Lord who makes you holy" — not only the broader sanctification inventory alone, not holiness alone, and not Holy God alone. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about sanctification, Bible verses about holiness, Bible verses about Holy God, Bible verses about Jehovah Jireh, Bible verses about Jehovah Shalom, Bible verses about Jehovah Raah, Bible verses about Jehovah Shammah, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about salvation, Bible verses about God's love, Bible verses about worship, and Bible verse of the day. Jehovah Mekoddishkem here means Ex 31:13's compound Name — the Lord who sanctifies his people — distinct from sanctification / holiness inventories alone and from other Jehovah compound Names.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, the Name joins יְהוָה YHWH (Strong's H3068; Bible Hub H3068) with a piel participle of קָדַשׁ qadash (Strong's H6942; Bible Hub H6942) — to set apart, consecrate, make holy — yielding meqaddishkem / "who sanctifies you." Exodus 31:13 ties that Name to Sabbath as a sign so Israel may know the Lord who makes them holy. This list tracks that sanctifying-Lord Name and related "I the Lord sanctify" lines, not every holiness verse and not sanctification as a general topic alone.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Exodus 31 presses that the Sabbath is a sign between God and Israel, that they may know he is the Lord who sanctifies them (Bible Hub MHC Exodus 31; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Exodus 31). (Sanctification, holiness, and Holy God live on those pages; this list centers the Jehovah-Mekoddishkem Name.)
