Exegesis
kodesh kodashim {קֹדֶשׁ קֽ͏ָדָשִׁים | qō-ḏeš qo-dā-šîm} ‘holy of holies’ employs a constructive superlative to intensify the sanctity of the offering reserved for the priest. The English translation preserves the original parallel structure and formal cadence of the legislation.
In context — Leviticus 14:13
He shall slaughter the lamb in the place where he slaughters the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place ; for as the sin offering so is the guilt offering—it is for the priest, it is most holy.
