What makes something Holy?

Quote:

Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.

Matthew 7:6
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Matthew 24:15
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

Matthew 27:53
And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

Luke 1:70
As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:

Exodus 3:5
And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

The Hebrew word, "kodesh" (holy) has the meaning of something being separated or set apart for a particular purpose.
