Calling of God is qualified as high and it is Person specific. St Paul places it 'the high calling of God in Christ Jesus' (Phil.3.14)'. "But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;/ Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy./ And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:(1 Pet.1.15-17)"
Heaven and Earth framed by the word of God set the Word as the Law of the Spirit as the sole authority. So, the Covenant in seven days refers to the Word was God. It is thus prophet Isaiah calls for witnesses, " Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken."(Isa.1.2) Israel sin is against his Son who He did sent only to be rejected by the nation. In the absence of faith God instituted the law of sin and death instead, to which the Decalogue is locus classicus and the number 10 serves as the number of condemnation.
Holiness is His name or righteousness which is of God, "that I may win Christ,/ And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith." (Phil.3: 9-10)
