The penalties section of Leviticus 20 is severe: specific violations of the Holiness Code carry the death penalty or being cut off from the community. The severity is proportional to the holiness of the God who dwells in the community's midst. What makes the death penalty appropriate for certain violations is not social utility but the incompatibility of persistent covenant violation with ongoing life in the presence of the holy God.
But the chapter closes not with the penalties but with the principle that produces the alternative: sanctify yourselves and be holy, for I am the LORD your God, and keep my statutes and do them, I am the LORD who sanctifies you. The divine sanctification and the human obedience are placed in the same breath. The community is commanded to keep and do, which requires genuine human cooperation. And the source of the sanctification is God himself, I am the one who sets you apart.
Thread 4 is in the keep and do: genuine compliance required of genuine agents. Thread 5 is the Mosaic administrative context: these statutes belong to a specific covenant administration; their penalties were specific to Israel's theocratic governance and are not directly transferred to the church age.
I am the LORD which sanctify you, the sanctification is God's act, but keep my statutes and do them is the people's. Both are in the same verse; the divine sanctification and the human obedience are not competitors but cooperative realities.
אֲנִי יְהוָה מְקַדִּשְׁכֶם (ani YHWH meqaddishkhem): I am the LORD which sanctify you: meqaddishkhem (Piel participle of qadash, the one who is actively setting you apart; the sanctifying is God's ongoing action; the same Piel intensive used for the priestly anointing and the Sabbath's sanctification; God is not the passive approver of human holiness-achievement but the active agent who produces it)

The penalties section of Leviticus 20 is severe: specific violations of the Holiness Code carry the death penalty or being cut off from the community. The severity is proportional to the holiness of the God who dwells in the community's midst. What makes the death penalty appropriate for certain violations is not social utility but the incompatibility of persistent covenant violation with ongoing life in the presence of the holy God.
But the chapter closes not with the penalties but with the principle that produces the alternative: sanctify yourselves and be holy, for I am the LORD your God, and keep my statutes and do them, I am the LORD who sanctifies you. The divine sanctification and the human obedience are placed in the same breath. The community is commanded to keep and do, which requires genuine human cooperation. And the source of the sanctification is God himself, I am the one who sets you apart.
Thread 4 is in the keep and do: genuine compliance required of genuine agents. Thread 5 is the Mosaic administrative context: these statutes belong to a specific covenant administration; their penalties were specific to Israel's theocratic governance and are not directly transferred to the church age.
I am the LORD which sanctify you, the sanctification is God's act, but keep my statutes and do them is the people's. Both are in the same verse; the divine sanctification and the human obedience are not competitors but cooperative realities.
