'''{{Style S-Small capitals|Kadosh}}'''. Consecrated, holy; also written '''Kodesh'''. Something set apart for temple worship. But between the etymological meaning of the word, and its subsequent significance in application to the ''Kadeshim ''(the “priests” set apart for certain temple rites) — there is an abyss. The words ''Kadosh ''and ''Kadeshim ''are used in II. Kings as rather an opprobrious name, for the ''Kadeshuth ''of the Bible were identical in their office and duties with the Nautch girls of some Hindu temples. They were Galli, the mutilated priests of the lascivious rites of Venus Astarte, who lived “by the house of the Lord”. Curiously enough the terms ''Kadosh, ''etc., were appropriated and used‐ by several degrees of Masonic knighthood. | '''{{Style S-Small capitals|Kadosh}}'''.
