Be HolyLeviticus 19:1-2 1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.

Un - Holy

Something unholy is not evil or sinful but common, ordinary, and mundane.

For example, the LORD set apart the seventh day as holy. That makes the other six days of the week unholy, i.e. common.

Likewise, the LORD set apart the nation of Israel as a holy people the other nations of the world are common.
