2 "Seraphs were standing    above him;  3 "And one called to the other:
“Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah of armies. The whole earth is filled with his glory.”
      ( Isaiah 6:2)

Jehovah. The quality of holiness belongs to Jehovah. (Ex 39:30;Zec 14:20) 

Christ Jesus addressed him as “Holy Father.” (Joh 17:11) 

Those in the heavens are shown declaring: “Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah of armies,” attributing to him holiness, cleanness in the superlative degree. (Isa 6:3)

He is the Most HolyOne, superior to all others in holiness. (Pr 30:3; here the plural form of the Hebrew word translated “Most Holy” is used to denote excellence and majesty.) 

The Israelites were frequently reminded that Jehovah is the Source of all holiness as they observed the words “Holiness belongs to Jehovah” that were engraved on the shining gold plate on the high priest’s turban. This plate was called “the holy sign of dedication,” showing that the high priest was set apart to a service of special holiness. (Ex 28:36; 29:6) 

In Moses’ victory song after the deliverance through the Red Sea, Israel sang: “Who among the gods is like you, O Jehovah? Who is like you, proving yourself mighty in holiness?” (Ex 15:11; 1Sa 2:2) 

As an added guarantee of the carrying out of his word, Jehovah has even sworn by his holiness.—Am 4:2.

God’s name is sacred, set apart from all defilement. (1Ch 16:10; Ps 111:9) 

His name Jehovah is to be held as holy, sanctified above all others. (Mt 6:9) 

Disrespect for his name merits the punishment of death.—Le 24:10-16, 23; Nu 15:30.

Since Jehovah God is the Originator of all righteous principles and laws (Jas 4:12) and is the basis of all holiness, any person or thing that is holybecomes so because of relationship with Jehovah and his worship. 

One cannot have understanding or wisdom unless he has knowledge of the Most Holy One. (Pr 9:10) 

Jehovah can be worshiped only in holiness. One claiming to worship him but practicing uncleanness is disgusting in his sight. (Pr 21:27) 

When Jehovah foretold that he would make the way clear for his people to return to Jerusalem from Babylonian exile, he said: “The Way of Holiness it will be called. The unclean one will not pass over it.” (Isa 35:8)
