Why do Isaiah and Nephi call the Lord “the Holy One of Israel”? - Book of Mormon Isaiah

Why do Isaiah and Nephi call the Lord “the Holy One of Israel”?

The title Holy One of Israel that Isaiah and the prophets often apply to Israel’s God—which practice Nephi follows—reflects Jehovah’s utmost sanctity. Witness the seraphim whom Isaiah sees with Jehovah in the temple singing, “Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah of Hosts” (Isaiah 6:3). The title “Holy One of Israel” is thus intended to inspire God’s people to increase their own sanctity or consecration: “Then shall they who are left in Zion and they who remain in Jerusalem be called holy—all who were inscribed to be among the living at Jerusalem” (Isaiah 4:3).
