Leviticus 20:23 And ye shall not walk in the customs of the nation which I am casting out before you; for all these things have they done, and they became an abomination to me.

Leviticus 20:25 And ye shall make a separation between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean, and ye shall not make yourselves an abomination by beast, or by fowl, or by anything that creepeth on the ground which I have separated for you, declaring [it] as unclean.
Leviticus 20:26 And ye shall be holy unto me; for I Jehovah am holy, and have separated you from the peoples to be mine.

The verse centers on "shall", "make", "separation", "between", "clean", "beast", and "unclean". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "shall" and "make", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 24's "And I have said unto you Ye..." into verse 26's "And ye shall be holy unto me...", so "shall" and "make" belong inside that flow. In Leviticus context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "shall" and "make" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
