Holy One is a simple descriptive name of God. It highlights His holiness, which means that He is “set apart” from His creation in purity and power, and infinitely distinguished in every one of the attributes of God. The single Hebrew word qadosh is the most frequently used; the word khasid occurs once as part of this name of God. Khasid refers to God’s covenant-keeping love (khesed).
