The Word

Holy (קדושׁ qâdôsh)

And to whom would you compare Me or equate Me? says the Holy One. (Is 40:25)

וְאֶל־מִי תְדַמְּיוּנִי וְאֶשְׁוֶה יֹאמַר קָדֽוֹשׁ׃

et cui adsimilastis me et adaequastis? dicit Sanctus.

Holy One, that is Somebody Else, Separated One, Being beyond this world. This is a particularly dear title for Isaiah, used by the prophet to name God. By acting toward His people, God makes them holy, too.
