Commentary on Zechariah 14:20

Theological / Devotional

Bells of the horses. The horses are probably those of the travelers to Jerusalem from all lands. Formerly the horses of other nations approaching Jerusalem were often the signal for war. Now the sounds made by the tinkling of the horses’ ornaments were welcome music, for they told of bands of worshipers making their way to Jerusalem. The inscription, “Holiness to the Lord,” formerly borne on the miter of the high priest (Ex. 28:36, 37), was now the motto of the worshipers.

The pots. The mention of the pots and bowls in vs. 20, 21 seems to refer to the necessity of consecrating a large number of vessels because of the large number of worshippers who would come to Jerusalem.
