Contextual Overview

¹And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying, ²"And you say to the sons of Israel: Any man of the sons of Israel, and of the sojourners who is sojourning in Israel, who gives to the Molech from his seed, is certainly put to death; the people of the land stone him with stone; ³and I set My face against that man, and have cut him off from the midst of his people, for he has given to the Molech from his seed, so as to defile My sanctuary, and to defile My holy Name. ⁴And if the people of the land really hide their eyes from that man, in his giving to the Molech from his seed, so as not to put him to death, ⁵then I have set My face against that man and against his family, and have cut him off, and all who are going whoring after him, even going whoring after the Molech, from the midst of their people. ⁶And the person who turns to those having familiar spirits, and to the wizards, to go whoring after them, I have even set My face against that person, and cut him off from the midst of his people. ⁷And you have sanctified yourselves, and you have been holy, for I [am] your God YHWH;⁸and you have kept My statutes and have done them; I [am] YHWH, sanctifying you. ⁹For any man who reviles his father and his mother is certainly put to death; he has reviled his father and his mother: his blood [is] on him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Sanctify yourselves therefore,.... By abstaining from such impious and idolatrous practices, and separating themselves from all that gave into them, as well as by observing the holy commandments of the Lord; otherwise internal sanctification is not the work of man, but of the Lord himself, as in Leviticus 20:8:

and be ye holy; or a separate people from all others in worship and conversation:

for I [am] the Lord your God; who is a holy God, and therefore it became them to be holy, in imitation of him, Leviticus 19:2.
