This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
The whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. This superlative, "most holy," which had been used exclusively of the holy of holies (Exodus 26:34 ), was now to characterize the entire building.
Behold, this is the law of the house. This all-pervading sanctity was to be "the law of the (whole) house," as distinguished from the Levitical law, which confined the special sanctity to a single apartment of it.
