“You must be a distinctive people, because YHWH is a distinctive God…For Israel to be holy then meant that they were to be a distinctive community among the nations…Israel was to be YHWH like rather than like the nations, they were to do as YHWH does, not as the nations do. Holiness for Israel is a practical, down-to-earth reflection of the transcendent holiness of YHWH himself.” Chris Wright
