And G-d said to Moses: Tell the entire community of Israel: You will be Kdoshim,1 for I, the L-rd your god, am Kadosh. | Vayedabeir Hashem el Moshe leimor: Dabeir el kol adat bnei Yisrael, ve-amarta aleihem: Kdoshim tihiyu, ki kadosh ani Hashem elokeikhem. | וַיְדַבֵּר ה’ אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר׃ דַּבֵּר אֶל־כׇּל־עֲדַת בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵהֶם קְדֹשִׁים תִּהְיוּ כִּי קָדוֹשׁ אֲנִי ה’ אֱלֹהֵיכֶם׃ |
