    Tim,

    Is this phrase, “Holiness to the LORD” in original, “classical” hebrew, or modern Hebrew?
    Also, some have translated the same phrase in some different ways including “Holy to the LORD”, “Holiness unto the LORD”, and “Holy unto the LORD”… does it really matter which one it really is since they are all generally the same (and are they all translated the same way in classical hebrew?)?
    If there are other examples/variations of this phrase, could you send me those in the classical hebrew as well?

    Thank you so much!

    - Bo

    Hi Jo,
    The phrase is in Biblical Hebrew, in other words, the Hebrew you will find in any number of Bibles of the ancient text. All of the translations you mentioned are legitimate. “Holy” or “holiness”can also be translated as “separated”. And “LORD” is the translation of Yahweh.

    Great! Thank you so much!

    Also, do you know of any other websites where I can find phrases and names in the original hebrew?
