Priestly Separation

About This Tag

Many passages in the Hebrew Bible incorporate priestly language centered on the theme of “separation,” even when the context is not explicitly about priestly activity. This use of this vocabulary and conceptual frameworks - such as distinguishing between holy and profane, pure and impure, or Israel and the nations - extends beyond ritual instruction into legal, narrative, and cosmological texts. Such language often functions to reinforce a priestly emphasis on divine order and their perceived role in maintaining it.
