In light of the following text, and other, related ones, what is Bible sanctification?
Jer 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Isn't it possible that the word could have multiple meanings depending on the context surrounding it's use? In the verse you provided I would like to think that the use of the word sanctified is to convey the idea of being set apart.

I think it would be possible for it to have different meanings in it's various contexts. What else do you think it might mean?

One of the study resources I have is a Bible annotated by Spiros Zodhiates. Mr. Zodhiates native tongue is Greek. He decided to dedicate significant part of his life to assembling resources for the Bible student. He has some somewhat tedious and meticulous notes on sanctification. But here are some highlights:

to be clean
to make clean
to hallow
to dedicate
...
It signifies an act or a state in which people or things are set aside for use in the worship of God.
