Jehovah-M’Keddesh (sometimes written as Yahweh-M’Kaddesh) translates to “The Lord Who Sanctifies” or “The Lord Who Makes Holy.” This name reflects God’s role in sanctifying or setting apart His people for holiness and service. It emphasizes God’s active role in purifying and consecrating His followers to live according to His will.
