But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a set-apart nation, a people for a possession, that you should proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light,
you also, as living stones, are being built up, a spiritual house, a set-apart priesthood, to offer up spiritual slaughter offerings acceptable to Elohim through ืืืืฉืขย Messiah.
“For you are a set-apart people to ืืืืย your Elohim. ืืืืย your Elohim has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a treasured possession above all the peoples on the face of the earth.
“ืืืืย does establish you as a set-apart people to Himself, as He has sworn to you, if you guard the commands of ืืืืย your Elohim and walk in His ways.
so as to set you high above all nations which He has made, for a praise, and for a name, and for esteem, and for you to be a set-apart people to ืืืืย your Elohim, as He has spoken.”
I call upon you, therefore, brothers, through the compassion of Elohim, to present your bodies a living offering โ set-apart, well-pleasing to Elohim โ your reasonable worship.
Blessed and set-apart is the one having part in the first resurrection. The second death possesses no authority over these, but they shall be priests of Elohim and of Messiah, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
But you shall be called, ‘Priests of ืืืื,’ ‘Servants of our Elohim’ shall be said of you. You shall consume the strength of the gentiles, and boast in their esteem.
“Do not eat whatever dies of itself. Give it to the stranger who is within your gates, to eat it, or sell it to a foreigner. For you are a set-apart people to ืืืืย your Elohim. Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.
only, he does not go near the veil or approach the altar, because he has a defect, lest he profanes My set-apart places. For I am ืืืื, who sets them apart.’ ”
‘But I say to you, “You are going to possess their land, and I Myself give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am ืืืืย your Elohim, who has separated you from the peoples.
And He said, “If you diligently obey the voice of ืืืืย your Elohim and do what is right in His eyes, and shall listen to His commands and shall guard all His laws, I shall bring on you none of the diseases I brought on the Mitsrites, for I am ืืืืย who heals you.”
“For You have separated them unto Yourself for an inheritance, out of all the peoples of the earth, as You spoke by the hand of Your servant Mosheh, when You brought our fathers out of Mitsrayim, O Master ืืืื.”
“But this word I did command them, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and I shall be your Elohim, and you be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, so that it be well with you.’
And they assembled against Mosheh and against Aharon, and said to them, “Enough of you! For all the congregation is set-apart, all of them, and ืืืืย is in their midst. Why then do you lift up yourselves above the assembly of ืืืืย ?”
