“On that day,
There shall be inscribed
On the bells
Of the horses.
‘Holy to Yahweh.’
The cooking pots
In the house of Yahweh
Shall be as holy
As the bowls
In front of the altar.
Every cooking pot
In Jerusalem,
As well as in Judah
Shall be sacred
To Yahweh of hosts.
Thus,
All who sacrifice
May come.
They may use them
To boil the flesh
Of the sacrifice.
There shall no longer
Be traders
In the house
Of Yahweh of hosts,
On that day.”
On this glorious day, the bells of the horses will have the inscription that Yahweh is holy. The cooking pots in the house of Yahweh would be as holy as the bowls on the altar in front of the holy of holies. In fact, all the cooking pots in Judah and Jerusalem would be sacred to Yahweh. The sacrifices could then be boiled in any kind of pot because they were all holy. They would no longer need to depend on the traders at the Temple selling them special holy pots.
