==Scripture Pages that Link to Here==

'''[[Exodus 3:1-8]]'''
:God speaks to Moses out of the burning bush. God was present, though only the fire was visible. Yet knowing that God was present - and knowing the utter contrast between God's holiness and greatness, and our sinfulness and smallness - was sufficient reason to not even look in the direction of the fire.

:Why would Moses take off his sandals? He wouldn't dare do otherwise! The shoes have a symbolic significance, because they would be covered ("defiled") with dust or dirt from the ground. By removing his dirt-covered shoes, Moses would be demonstrating (at least symbolically) the need to be holy and undefiled when approaching God. It would also be an expression of humility and reverence.

:The place was holy because God was there, not because there was anything special about the ground in that area.

'''[[Exodus 19:3-25]]'''
:God would be on the mountain (in the cloud). "Don't approach God or you will die."

:His presence would be accompanied by terrifying occurrences in the environment (thunder, lightning, trumpet sounds, earthquake).

'''[[Leviticus 9:7, 24; 10:1-7]]'''
:"I will show myself holy to those who come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified." (This is why the two priests who disobeyed him were killed by fire.)

:The surviving priests dared not mourn for those who died: "You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting (etc.), lest you die; for the anointing oil of Yahweh is on you."

'''[[Leviticus 11:1-47]]'''
:God's holiness - the basis for defining the "clean" vs. "unclean" animals; the reason ''we'' must be holy.

'''[[Psalm 105:1-45]]'''
:Psa 105:5 Remember his marvelous works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth, ... / Psa 105:7 He is Yahweh, our God. His judgments are in all the earth.

:God's judgments are an expression of holiness and righteousness.
