to render sacred, to consecrate ( Exodus 28:38 ; 29:1 ). This word is from the Saxon, and properly means "to make holy." The name of God is "hallowed", i.e., is reverenced as holy ( Matthew 6:9 ).
To make holy; to set apart from common.After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, HALLOWED be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. ( Matthew 6:9 )
