Torah Teaser (Answer) The first mention of holiness is mentioned is in parashat Bereishit in connection to the Shabbat (Genesis 2:3). The next mention of holiness is in parashat Shemot when Hashem appears to Moshe at the Burning Bush. Hashem commands Moshe to take off his shoes, since the place where he is standing is "holy ground" (Exodus 3:5).
