![]() ![]() ![]() This word can be easily found in the LXX as far back as in Genesis 2:3, where we find this word used to describe how God intentionally ‘set apart’ the seventh day by declaring it be a day of rest and dedicated to be used as something special apart from the regular activities of the other six creation days. The word hallowed is translated from the Greek word a`gia,zw which is generally accepted as meaning “to set apart or to sanctify to purposefully and intentionally distinguish between what is holy and what is common: between the sacred from the profane. You will notice that he started this lesson with a declaration of praise: “Hallowed (or holy) is your name,” not petitions or requests! When we come into God’s presence, we are to do so with this thought first and foremost in our mind: Hallowed (holy, awesome, sacred, terrifying) is thy most wonderful and glorious name: the name which is above all other names. Jesus’ first task in teaching his disciples how to pray was to create in them an ardent zeal, desire and passion to protect and lift up the sacred name of Yahweh thus distinguishing His will from their own. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from 1 evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:9-13 9 1 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. ![]()
