Then everything alike shall be holy, and the ungodly shall be altogether excluded from the house of the Lord. Verse 20. - Upon the bells of the horses. The prophet, describing the holiness of the theocracy, uses imagery drawn from the ritual customs of the Law. "The bells," says Henderson, "were small metallic plates, suspended from the necks or heads of horses and camels, for the sake of ornament, and making a tinkling noise by striking against each other like cymbals." Probably these plates had the names of the owners engraven on them. The Septuagint gives "bridle," which possibly the unusual word metzilloth may mean. HOLINESS (holy) UNTO THE LORD; Sanctum Domino (Vulgate); Ἅγιον τῷ Κυρίῳ παντοκράτορι (Septuagint). This was the inscription upon the golden plate on the mitre of the high priest (<a href="/exodus/28-36.htm">Exodus 28:36</a>). The affixing of this inscription on the trappings of horses signifies that the commonest things shall become holy, all things that men use for work, profit, or ornament shall be consecrated to God's service. The pots in the Lord's house. The "pots" are vessels of inferior sanctity used for boiling the meat of the sacrifice (<a href="/1_samuel/2-14.htm">1 Samuel 2:14</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/35-13.htm">2 Chronicles 35:13</a>). The bowls before the altar. These held the blood of the victims for sprinkling on the altar, and the sacred libations, and were considered of superior sanctity. The prophet announces that now all shall be holy, the lower equal to the highest. <a href="/commentaries/zechariah/14-20.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>On that הַה֗וּא (ha·hū) Article | Pronoun - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1931.htm">Strong's 1931: </a> He, self, the same, this, that, as, are day, בַּיּ֣וֹם (bay·yō·wm) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> A day HOLY קֹ֖דֶשׁ (qō·ḏeš) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6944.htm">Strong's 6944: </a> A sacred place, thing, sanctity TO THE LORD לַֽיהוָ֑ה (Yah·weh) Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel will be [inscribed] יִֽהְיֶה֙ (yih·yeh) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1961.htm">Strong's 1961: </a> To fall out, come to pass, become, be on עַל־ (‘al-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against the bells מְצִלּ֣וֹת (mə·ṣil·lō·wṯ) Noun - feminine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4698.htm">Strong's 4698: </a> A tinkler, a bell of the horses, הַסּ֔וּס (has·sūs) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5483.htm">Strong's 5483: </a> A swallow, swift (type of bird) and the cooking pots הַסִּירוֹת֙ (has·sî·rō·wṯ) Article | Noun - common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5518.htm">Strong's 5518: </a> A pot, a thorn, a hook in the house בְּבֵ֣ית (bə·ḇêṯ) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1004.htm">Strong's 1004: </a> A house of the LORD יְהוָ֔ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel will be וְהָיָ֤ה (wə·hā·yāh) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1961.htm">Strong's 1961: </a> To fall out, come to pass, become, be like the sprinkling basins כַּמִּזְרָקִ֖ים (kam·miz·rā·qîm) Preposition-k, Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4219.htm">Strong's 4219: </a> Bowl, basin before לִפְנֵ֥י (lip̄·nê) Preposition-l | Noun - common plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6440.htm">Strong's 6440: </a> The face the altar. הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ׃ (ham·miz·bê·aḥ) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4196.htm">Strong's 4196: </a> An altar <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/zechariah/14-20.htm">Zechariah 14:20 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/zechariah/14-20.htm">Zechariah 14:20 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/zechariah/14-20.htm">Zechariah 14:20 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/zechariah/14-20.htm">Zechariah 14:20 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/zechariah/14-20.htm">Zechariah 14:20 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/zechariah/14-20.htm">Zechariah 14:20 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/zechariah/14-20.htm">Zechariah 14:20 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/zechariah/14-20.htm">Zechariah 14:20 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/zechariah/14-20.htm">Zechariah 14:20 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/zechariah/14-20.htm">Zechariah 14:20 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/zechariah/14-20.htm">OT Prophets: Zechariah 14:20 In that day there will be (Zech.
