Footnote

d Besides translating the Hebrew expression “fill the hand” by the word “consecrate”, the King James Version also renders another Hebrew word, qahdásh, by the word “consecrate”, at Exodus 30:30; 28:3; 2 Chronicles 26:18; 31:6; and Ezra 3:5. In most other verses the Hebrew word is translated “sanctify”, and Young’s translation renders the word as “sanctify” at these verses here cited.

The King James Version renders still another Hebrew word, nahzár, by the word “consecrate”, at Numbers 6:11, 12. But again Young’s translation shows a distinction and renders nahzár by “separate”.
