HOLY TO THE LORD: See study note on Zechariah 3:5. The Lord set apart the priesthood and the nation of Israel (Exodus 19:6; Leviticus 11:44–45). This identity will be complete in the messianic kingdom (Romans 11:16–17; Ephesians 1:4; 5:27; 1 Peter 1:15–16). The words on the harness bells and cooking pots show how widespread holiness will be then.
