Hallow

HALLOW.—To ‘hallow’ is either ‘to make holy’ or ‘to regard as holy.’ Both meanings are very old. Thus Wyclif translates Joh_17:17 ‘Halwe thou hem in treuthe,’ and Deu_32:51 ‘Ye halwide not me amonge the sones of Yreal’ (1388. ‘Israel’). In the Lord’s Prayer (Mat_6:9, Luk_11:2, the only places where ‘hallow’ occurs in the NT) the meaning is ‘regard as sacred.’ All the Eng. versions have ‘hallowed’ in these verses except the Rhemish (Rom. Cath.), which has ‘sanctified’; but in the modern editions of this version the change has been made to ‘hallowed.’

Hallow
(קָדִשׁ, in Piel; ἀγνιάζω, to render sacred, set apart, consecrate (Exo_28:38; Exo_39:1; Lev_22:2; Num_5:10). The English word is from the Saxon, and is properly to make holy; hence hallowed persons, things, places, rites, etc.; hence also the name, power, dignity of God is hallowed, that is, reverenced as holy (Mat_6:9). SEE HOLY.
