It took mw about 15 minutes to read through this section. God gives Israel some practical examples of applying the Law in their lives. Repeatedly he gives the admonishion; "be holy because I am holy." 19:1; 20:8, 25; and 21:9. Holiness is displayed in our lifestyle, but it is a seed planted in our desires. When our thought are focused on God we will think along the lines of hoiliness. But we won't display a holy life until following God's Law becomes our passion. When we thirst for God's word. When we hunger for God's righteousness. When we gasp for the breath of God's mercy to be expressed in our lives. These are the indicators of a holy life.
