Set Apart for God's Use

Commentators explain that God 'sanctifying' the tent, altar, and priests primarily means He was ceremonially setting them apart for His holy purpose. John Gill clarifies this is different from the internal, saving grace a person receives, though the two are related. It's about designating people and places for sacred use.
