The Hebrew word for mountain is har and Israel encamped opposite
Mount Sinai. On one side of the this Hebrew word for mountain, har, are
the Hebrew letters, "kaf & dalet", and on the other side of the
"mountain" are the Hebrew letters "vav & shin." Both sides of the
"mountain" form the Hebrew word kadosh which means holy. Since Israel
encamped near Mount Sinai where they received the Torah, they acquired
holiness which Hashem shined upon them. Hashem also described and called
Israel holy at this place as the verse says "You shall be to me a
priestly kingdom, a holy nation."
