Gill's Notes on the Bible
And ye shall be holy unto me,.... Separated from all unclean persons and things, and devoted to his service, and obedient to all his commands, and so live holy lives and conversations, according to his will, and to his honour and glory:
for I the Lord [am] holy; and therefore they, his people, should be like him, and imitate him, and observe those things which are agreeable to his holy nature and will, and yield a cheerful obedience to his holy precepts:
and have severed you from [other] people, that ye should be mine; which is a very forcible argument, a strong motive, and which laid them under great obligation to obedience and holiness.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The ground is here again stated on which all these laws of holiness should be obeyed. See Leviticus 18:24-30 note.
Leviticus 20:24
Compare the margin reference.
Leviticus 20:25, Leviticus 20:26
The distinction between clean and unclean for the whole people, and not for any mere section of it, was one great typical mark of âthe kingdom of priests, the holy nation.â See the Leviticus 11:42 note.
Leviticus 20:25
Any manner of living thing that creepeth - Rather, any creeping thing; that is, any vermin. See Leviticus 11:20-23. The reference in this verse is to dead animals, not to the creatures when alive.
