8 [1] FOR I THE ETERNAL, WHO SANCTIFY YOU, AM HOLY. The sense [of the plural form of *you*] is that it is addressed to the priests, just as He began, *Say unto the priests*. Or it may be that the expression *I the Eternal, Who sanctify you* means “Who sanctifies all of you — priests and [the rest of the] people,” and the meaning thereof is as follows: “Since the priest offers ‘the bread’ of your G-d, *he shall be holy unto thee*, for through him I sanctify all of you and make My *Shechinah* (Divine Glory) dwell in your Sanctuary.” It is possible by way of the Truth, [the mystic teachings of the Cabala] that the above phrase refers back to the beginning of [this] verse, a matter which has already been explained.
