Hallow

Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words

1: Ἁγιάζω (Strong'S #37 — Verb — hagiazo — hag-ee-ad'-zo )

"to make holy" (from hagios, "holy"), signifies to set apart for God, to sanctify, to make a person or thing the opposite of koinos, "common;" it is translated "Hallowed," with reference to the name of God the Father in the Lord's Prayer,  Matthew 6:9;  Luke 11:2 . See Sanctify.

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible

Hallow . To ‘hallow’ is either ‘to make holy’ or ‘to regard as holy.’ Both meanings are very old. Thus Wyclif translates   John 17:17 ‘Halwe thou hem in treuthe,’ and   Deuteronomy 32:51 ‘Ye halwide not me amonge the sones of Yreal’ (1388. ‘Israel’). In the Lord’s Prayer (  Matthew 6:9 ,   Luke 11:2 , the only places where ‘hallow’ occurs in the NT) the meaning is ‘regard as sacred.’ All the Eng. versions have ‘hallowed’ in these verses except the Rhemish (Rom. Cath.), which has ‘sanctified’; but in the modern editions of this version the change has been made to ‘hallowed.’

King James Dictionary
