Sanctification of Hashem's Name
Exegetical Approaches
Result of Observance
Vayikra 22:31 declares that observance of Hashem's commandments will lead to a sanctification of Hashem's name, but does not obligate anyone to act so as to achieve this goal.
Passive form of "וְנִקְדַּשְׁתִּי" – The passive form of the word "וְנִקְדַּשְׁתִּי" supports this position, suggesting that the sanctification is a result rather than a command.
To whom are these words directed?
- Priests
- Nation
Positive Behavior
The phrase "וְנִקְדַּשְׁתִּי בְּתוֹךְ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל" obligates people to behave in a manner which will sanctify God's name.
Martyrdom
"וְנִקְדַּשְׁתִּי בְּתוֹךְ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל" is the positive commandment to die rather than transgress commandments in public.
