Dear Isaac,

Below is the information for XLL and for QD$ found in TWOT and BDB. Also when
looking at the bibliographies you will find that the authors also used TDOT.

Rev. Bryant J. Williams III

TWOT, Volume 1, pp. 288-289, "XALAL,"

660 חָלַל (ḥālal) I, wound (fatally), bore through, pierce. Survives in Arabic
ḥalla “pierce through.” Occurs ninety-six times, including derivatives.
Derivatives
660a חָלָל (ḥālāl) slain, fatally wounded.
660b חַלָּה (ḥallâ) cake (if pierced).
660c חַלּוֹן (ḥallôn) window (if taken as a piercing or hollow in the wall).
660d חָלִיל (ḥālı̂l) flute, pipe.
660e חָלַל (ḥālal) play the pipe. Denominative verb.
660f מְחִלָּה (mĕḥillâ) hole. Occurs only in Isa 2:19 (parallel to cave in
rocks).
The verb itself is used only eight times and mainly in poetry. It usually
means
a fatal wounding of persons, as does the adjective ḥālāl. Twice it refers to
the
fleeing serpent, parallel to the Lord’s action in smiting Rahab to death (Isa
51:9; Job 26:13; though in the latter passage KJV assumes ḥālal “create”).
In the messianic passage Isa 53:5, “wounded” (KJV marg. “tormented”; jb
“pierced
through”) follows the divine smiting (v. 4). The Poel form used (mĕḥôlāl) is
similar to that in Isa 51:9; cf. “pierced by the sword” (Pual, Ezk 32:26). The
quotation in Jn 19:12 (“they shall look on him whom they have pierced”) is
from
Zech 12:10 but this v. uses another verb (dāqar) “pierced through fatally”
(usually in retribution). In Jer 51:4 and Lam 4:9 dāqar is used as a synonym
of
ḥālal.
There is no need to read Ps 77:11 as “my sickness” (ḥălōtı̂) instead of “my
wounding” (ḥalōtı̂), an idea already expressed in Ps 109:22 (RSV here
“stricken,” but the context is of death). Proverbs 26:10 is to be read with
RSV
“an archer who wounds everyone” rather than the hypothetical KJV “the great
(God) who formed (created) all things.”
חָלָל (ḥālāl). Slain, fatally wounded. The rendering “pierced” rests on its
probable derivation from ḥālal I. This adjective is used eighty-seven times,
one-fourth of which are qualified with “by the sword.” That the action was
fatal
is confirmed by the context and circumstantial evidence in most instances. It
included the act of wounding and the resultant groans. The wounds were
inflicted
usually in war, but also in persecution (Ps 69:26 [H 27]) or hunger (Lam 4:9),
and ended in death. For this reason KJV sometimes equivocates (marg.) between
“wounded” and “slain” (e.g. I Chr 10:1). (In Lev 21:7, 14 the fem. hălālâ
refers
to a woman who had been violated.)

Regarding QD$ see the following taken from TWOT, Volume 2, pp. 786-789.

"1990 קָדַשׁ (qādaš) be hallowed, holy, sanctified; to consecrate, sanctify,
prepare, dedicate. Denominative verb.
Parent Noun
1990a קֹדֶשׁ (qōdeš) apartness, holiness, sacredness.
1990b קָדוֹשׁ (qādôš) holy, Holy One, saint.
1990c קָדֵשׁ (qādēš) male temple prostitute (Deut 23:18; II Kgs 23:7).
1990d קֶדֶשׁ (qedeš) Kedesh.
1990e קָדֵשׁ (qādēš) Kadesh.
1990f מִקְדָּשׁ (miqdāš) holy place, sanctuary.
The verb qādaš in the Qal connotes the state of that which belongs to the
sphere
of the sacred. Thus it is distinct from the common or profane. In the Piel and
Hiphil it connotes the act by which the distinction is effected. It is a
denominative verb.
The suggestion that the root qdš is derived from an original biliteral qd
(“cut”) is attractive but tenuous in view of the uncertainties surrounding
the
transmission of biliteral roots to the triliteral form. The meaning “to
separate” is favored by many scholars, but the fact that qdš rarely, if ever,
occurs in a secular sense makes any positive conclusion in this regard
difficult
because of the limited evidence on which to base philological comparison.
The word occurs in several dialects of Akkadian with the basic meanings “to be
clean, pure, consecrated.” In the Canaanite texts from Ugarit, the basic
meaning
of the word group is “holy,” and it is always used in a cultic sense.
A definitive use of the term occurs in Num 16:38 [H 17:3]. The censers of the
Korahites were regarded as holy because they had been devoted to the Lord.
They
were thus regarded as having entered the sphere of the sacred by virtue of
cultic ritual (v. 17 [H 16:18]) and were accorded a special place in the
sanctuary. The devotion of the censers seems to have created a condition of
inviolable holiness that could not allow for their being treated in a common
way. It seems best to see the root qdš as serving to delineate the sphere of
the
“holy.”
In the Qal the verb qādaš is used most frequently to describe the state of
consecration effected by Levitical ritual. In Ex 29:21, 37; 30:29 certain
articles used in the Levitical service were consecrated to God and were thus
recognized as belonging to the realm of the sacred. Transmission of the state
of
holiness to anything that touched a person or object so consecrated (Ex 29:37;
30:29; Lev 6:18 [H 11], 27 [H 20]) does not necessarily imply that a
transferable divine energy exists in the “holy.” Rather, it seems that the
person or object entered the state of holiness in the sense of becoming
subject
to cultic restrictions, as were other holy persons or objects, in order to
avoid
diffusion of the sacred and the profane (cf. the state of holiness of the
priesthood [Lev 21:1–8] and the strictures applied to a garment accidentally
sprinkled with the blood of the sin offering [Lev 6:27, [H 20]).
In the Piel the word is used most frequently of the act of consecration. In Ex
19:23 the consecration of Mt. Sinai by establishing boundaries around it
served
to keep out all that might have profaned God’s holy presence.
The ethical connotations of the concepts of holiness find their basis in the
proscriptions against diffusing the realms of the sacred and the profane (Lev
22:32).
In the Niphal the verb qādaš may connote the concept “to prove one’s
holiness.”
God proves his holiness by judging sin (Lev 10:3; cf. 1–2; Num 20:13; Ezk
28:2).
His holiness is also demonstrated in his adherence to his promises (Ezk 20:41;
28:25; 39:27).
קֹדֶשׁ (qōdeš). Apartness, holiness, sacredness, hallowed, hotly (ASV, RSV,
similar). The noun qōdeš connotes the concept of “holiness,” i.e. the
essential
nature of that which belongs to the sphere of the sacred and which is thus
distinct from the common or profane. This distinction is evident in Lev 10:10
and Ezk 22:26 where qōdeš occurs as the antithesis of ḥôl (“profane,”
“common”).
There is some truth in the idea of R. Otto (see bibliography) that the word
“holy” refers to the mysterium tremendum. It speaks of God with a measure of
awe. It can be used almost as a synonym of deity. “His holy name” is the name
of
God. The inner room of God’s dwelling is called the Holy of Holies—the most
holy
place.
But the biblical viewpoint would refer the holiness of God not only to the
mystery of his power, but also to his character as totally good and entirely
without evil. Holy objects therefore are those with no cultic pollution which
is
symbolic of moral pollution. They are not merely dedicated, but dedicated to
what is good and kept from what is evil. The separation of men from what
defiles
ceremonially is but typical of the holiness that is spiritual and ethical. “Be
ye holy for I am holy” is quoted from the ot (I Pet 1:16; Lev 19:1; 20:7,
etc.)
and the so-called holiness code is heavily ethical. “Man was made in the image
of God and capable of reflecting the Divine likeness. And as God reveals
himself
as ethically holy, he calls men to a holiness resembling his own” (ISBE,
“Holiness”).
A basic element of Israelite religion was the maintenance of an inviolable
distinction between the spheres of the sacred and the common or profane (Num
18:32). That which was inherently holy or designated so by divine decree or
cultic rite was not to be treated as common. The sabbath was holy, and the
restrictions connected with that day served to maintain its distinctive nature
and to guard against its being treated as common (Ex 16:23–26; Isa 58:13, 14).
Special restrictions were placed on the priests to guard against profanation
of
its holy status (Lev 21:6ff.). Sexual intercourse was not considered inmoral
in
the ot but it did effect a state of Leviti-cal defilement (Lev 15:18) which
prohibited contact with that which was holy (I Sam 21:4). The same principle
applied to the peace offering (Lev 19:5–8), the holy oil (Ex 30:32–33), and
holy
incense (Ex 30:37).
That which was dedicated to God was conceived of as entering the sphere of the
“holy.” This included the various elements of Levitical worship called “holy
things” in Lev 5:15–16, the produce of the land (Lev 19:24), personal property
(Lev 27:28), and spoils obtained in military action (Josh 6:19). The
sacrifices
that were to be eaten only by the priests were denominated “holy” by virtue of
their absolute dedication to the sphere of the sacred as represented by the
priesthood (Lev 19:8).
While the realm of the holy was conceptually distinct from the world with its
imperfections, it could nevertheless operate within the world as long as its
integrity was strictly maintained. The maintenance of the integrity of the
“holy” was a function of the Israelite cultus. The holy God came to man in
redeeming love within the context of regulations and proscriptions that were
designed to maintain the purity of holiness that characterized God’s essential
nature. Even before the establishment of the Levitical system, this principle
was recognized (see Ex 3:5).
The cultus also effected the holiness of those who participated in it. This
was
essential to the concept of redemption for, by definition, holiness is
separate
from all that is sinful and profane. God, therefore, calls man to holiness
because he himself is holy (qādôš) (Lev 19:2; cf. I Pet 1:15).
Because of his holiness, God is above the weaknesses and imperfections of
mortals and thus can accomplish the deliverance of his people (Ex 15:11–12).
Only those who are holy will dwell in God’s holy hill (Ps 15:1ff.). Because
God
is holy by nature and separate from moral imperfection, he can be trusted to
be
faithful to his promises (Ps 33:21).
Inherent within the redemptive work of God is the promise of the ultimate
manifestation of God’s holiness in the glorification of his people and the
deliverance of the creation from the imperfections resulting from the edenic
curse (Rom 8:18–23).
קָדוֹשׁ (qādôš). Holy, Holy one, saint (ASV, Rsv similar). The adjective qādôš
(holy) denominates that which is intrinsically sacred or which has been
admitted
to the sphere of the sacred by divine rite or cultic act. It connotes that
which
is distinct from the common or profane.
God is intrinsically holy and he calls his people to be holy, providing for
them
the standard of obedience whereby that holiness may be maintained (Lev
19:2ff.).
Because God is holy, he is free from the moral imperfections and frailties
common to man (Hos 11:9) and can be counted on to be faithful to his promises
(Ps 22:3–5). This aspect of God’s character forms the basis of Habakkuk’s hope
that his people would not perish (Hab 1:12).
The title “The Holy One of Israel” is applied to God numerous times in the ot,
but is especially frequent in the prophecy of Isaiah (in all parts). It serves
to place the sins of Isaiah’s society in stark contrast to God’s moral
perfection (Isa 30:11) and expresses God’s absolute separation from evil (Isa
17:7).
The inviolability of the spheres of the sacred and the profane forms the
ground
for the ethical aspects of the concept of holiness. Because God is holy, the
Israelites could not serve him when they persisted in their idolatrous
practices
(Josh 24:19ff.). They were to be separate from all that was unholy (Lev
11:44-45; Deut 14:21). Stipulations were imposed on them that they might not
engage in practices common to other peoples (Lev 19:2; 20:7; Num 15:40). Their
call to holiness was based on the fact that they had become God’s possession
by
virtue of his separating them from the nations (Lev 20:26; Deut 7:6; 14:2;
26:19).
It is unthinkable that a holy God could condone sin; such a concept would
involve a diffusion of the sacred and profane, thus destroying the nature of
holiness. The call to be holy was accompanied by the imposition of certain
restrictions that served to ensure the continuing holiness of those who
believed
(Lev 11:44–45; 19:2ff.; Deut 14:2, 21; Num 15:40).
Various aspects of the cultus were denominated holy by virtue of their being
conceived of as belonging to the realm of the sacred and were not to be
treated
as common. This included portions of the sacrifices (Lev 6:16; 7:6), the
temple
and its aspects (Ps 65:4 [H 5]; Lev 6:16, etc), and the priests (Lev 21:6, 8)
and Levites (II Chr 35:3).
The presence of God within the world delineated a sphere that was holy, for
God’
s holiness cannot be diffused by the common (Deut 23:14).
That which is “holy” is not only distinct from the profane but in opposition
to
it as well. God, therefore, hates and punishes sin (Josh 24:19; Isa 5:16, 24).
In the light of God’s holiness, Isaiah saw himself and his people as sinners
(Isa 6:3; cf. v. 5).
קָדֵשׁ (qādēš). Temple prostitute, male or female. The adjective qādēš, like
the
name Kadesh, means “holy,” but holy to what? The female functionaries in the
pagan shrines were called qĕdēšâ, temple prostitutes, because that is what
they
were. The name is a sad commentary on the licentiousness of Canaanite worship.
The masculine form is used similarly for the male counterpart (Deut 23:17 [H
18]). In Gen 38:21–22 the usage may be extended to refer to prostitution in
general.

מִקְדָּשׁ (miqdāš). Holy place, sanctuary, chapel, hallowed part. (ASV and RSV
similar except that RSV translates “holy things” in Num 10:21, Ezk 44:8;
“sacred
area” in Ezk 43:21 and “temple” in Dan 11:31.
The noun miqdāš is used most frequently in the ot as the designation of the
tabernacle and the temple. It is frequently translated “sanctuary,” in these
cases. In keeping with the basic meaning of the word group that it represents
(qdš), miqdāš denotes that which has been devoted to the sphere of the sacred.
When it refers to the sanctuary, it connotes the physical area devoted to the
worship of God. This area was sacred because it was the place where God
dwelled
among the people (Ex 25:8) and its sanctity was not to be profaned (Lev 12:4;
19:30; 20:3; 21:12, 23).
The word also designated sanctuaries that were devoted to false worship (Lev
26:31; Isa 16:12; Ezk 21:7; Amos 7:9).
The word is used for the articles of the tabernacle that were devoted to the
Levitical worship (Num 10:21). The portions of the sacrifices that were
particularly holy were called miqdāš (Num 18:29). The word miqdāš may refer to
the abode of God in Ps 68:35 [H 36], but some commentators seethis as the
temple
in Jerusalem. Metaphorically the word is used to refer to a place of refuge
(Isa
8:14; Ezk 11:16).

pl. of sanct. to be destroyed by י׳ Lv 26:31 (H); מִקְדְּשֵׁי יִשׂ׳ in N. Isr.
Am 7:9; מִקְדַּשׁ־מֶלֶךְ v 13 (Bethel). 2. of the nations: Moab Is 16:12 pl.

מַקְדֵּשׁ in this sense; < read קָדְשׁוֹ (v. קֹדֶשׁ 3 d), םִ being dittogr.
