Bible Question: what is the difference between the word consecrate (ex.28:3) and sanctify (ex.13:2) i have searched and still can't get a clear understanding. maybe it's just me. |
Bible Answer: It's not you. There is no difference as far as I can tell. The words are used interchangeably both meaning to set apart as holy. If I’m not mistaken, the same Hebrew word is used in the original text in both verses. I’ve read however, that sanctify in the NT also took on the meaning to free from guilt and sin, to cleanse externally or purify as well as setting apart as holy. WOS |
