Summary/Abstract: The theme of this article is about sanctity as described in the Old Testament texts. At the same time, it briefly talks about consecration with Holy oil as a basic act of performing consecration. Sanctity is a fundamental moral category relating primarily to the Divine Existence. Within the Old Testament time frame the relation to sanctity mainly concerns God – Father, Creator and Maker. Its aspects follow two directions: sanctity concerning God, and sanctity concerning all that serves God (people, times, objects, places, etc.).
