What does holiness look like?

Leviticus (Lévitique) 20:7 (ESV)

7 Consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, for I am the LORD your God.

The first part of the exhortation is to consecrate yourselves. The verb consecrate (qdš) is in the Hithpael form. This is a reflexive verb which means that the Hebrews were to keep themselves holy. But this refers to more than outward forms. Holy actions must stem from a holy nature.
