Hallowed]
TO hallow is to sever or set apart any thing from the common use, to some proper and peculiar end: as the Temple was hallowed, that is, set apart to an holy use; and the Priests were sanctified, that is, set apart to the service of God. And all that believe in Christ are sanctified, that is, set apart from sin to serve God. In like manner Gods name is hallowed, when it is put apart from oblivion, contempt, profanation, pollution, blasphemy, and all abuses to an holy, reverent, and honourable use, whether we think, speak of it, or use it any manner of way. Levit. 10.3. Ezech. 38.23.
