Sanctify yourselves therefore, etc.] By abstaining from such impious and idolatrous practices, and separating themselves from all that gave into them, as well as by observing the holy commandments of the Lord; otherwise internal sanctification is not the work of man, but of the Lord himself, as in (<032008>Leviticus 20:8): and be ye holy; or a separate people from all others in worship and conversation: for I [am] the Lord your God; who is a holy God, and therefore it became them to be holy, in imitation of him, (<031902>Leviticus 19:2).
