So there are two components integral and inseparable in the concept of holiness: initial assignment of holy status by God and establishment of rules to preserve that holy status, and secondly, actualization of that holiness by humans through the observance of the commandments and rules that mark that thing off as holy.

因此在神圣这一概念中，有两个组成部分,一个是上帝最初形成的神圣状态,和为了保持这个神圣状态而建立的规则制度，第二个是，人们通过遵守戒律,而将神圣现实化到生活中,将神圣的事物标记出来。
