Zechariah 14:20
Verse 20. Upon the bells of the horses] They appear, formerly, to have had bells on horses, camels, &c., as we have now, to amuse the animals, and encourage them in their work. In some very fine Asiatic paintings now before me, I see bells both on horses, mules, and camels; little bells tied to their legs, and larger ones about their necks, particularly in the representation of a caravan passing through the valley of serpents, in the island of Serendib, now Ceylon. The margin reads bridles. HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD] As the Gospel is a holy system, preaching holiness and producing holiness in those who believe, so all without, as well as within, shall bear this impress; and even a man's labour shall be begun and continued, and ended in the Lord; yea, and the animals he uses, and the instruments he works with, shall be all consecrated to God through Christ. The pots] "The meanest utensil in the house of God, Ne 10:29, shall be as the vessels of silver, and gold used in solemn sacrifice; they shall be like the bowls before the altar."-See Newcome.
