The priests of ancient Israel regarded holiness as separateness. They defined their deity as intrinsically holy, and separate from the common, or profane. Contrary to popular misconceptions, the ancient Israelites did not equate purity to holiness. Conversely, the holy was regarded as pure -- by definition.

Early tabernacles were tent-like structures, surrounded by a courtyard that was enclosed by a curtained screen. Only priests were permitted to enter the shrine area, and the deeper shrine -- the holy of holies -- was entered only on the Day of Atonement.
