glō´ri -fı̄ : The English word is the equivalent of a number of Hebrew and Greek words whose essential significance is discussed more fully under the word GLORY (which see). The word "glorious" in the phrases "make or render glorious" is used most frequently as a translation of verbs in the original, rather than of genuine adjectives In dealing with the verb it will be sufficient to indicate the following most important uses.

(1) Men may glorify God, that is, give to Him the worship and reverence which are His due (Isaiah 24:15; Isaiah 25:3; Psalms 22:23; Daniel 5:23; Sirach 43:30; Matthew 5:16 , and generally in the Synoptic Gospels and in some other passages of the New Testament).

(2) God, Yahweh (Jehovah), glorifies His people, His house, and in the New Testament, His Son, manifesting His approval of them and His interest in them, by His interposition on their behalf (Isaiah 55:5; Jeremiah 30:19; The Wisdom of Solomon 18:8; Sirach 45:3; John 7:39 , and often in the Fourth Gospel).

(3) By a usage which is practically confined to the Old Testament, Yahweh glorifies Himself, that is, secures the recognition of His honor and majesty, by His direction of the course of history, or by His interposition in history, either the history of His own people or of the world at large (Leviticus 10:3; Isaiah 26:15; Ezekiel 28:22; Haggai 1:8 ).

LITERATURE

Etymology:

The root is found in the Old Testament in the Hebrew verb קרשׁ , ḳādhash , in the New Testament in the Greek verb ἀγιάζω , hagoázō . The noun "sanctification" ( ἁγιασμός , hagiasmós ) does not occur in the Old Testament and is found but 10 times in the New Testament, but the roots noted above appear in a group of important words which are of very frequent occurrence. These words are "holy," "hallow," "hallowed," "holiness," "consecrate," "saint," "sanctify," "sanctification." It must be borne in mind that these words are all translations of the same root, and that therefore no one of them can be treated adequately without reference to the others. All have undergone a certain development. Broadly stated, this has been from the formal, or ritual, to the ethical, and these different meanings must be carefully distinguished.

I. The Formal Sense.

By sanctification is ordinarily meant that hallowing of the Christian believer by which he is freed from sin and enabled to realize the will of God in his life. This is not, however, the first or common meaning in the Scriptures. To sanctify means commonly to make holy, that is, to separate from the world and consecrate to God.

1. In the Old Testament:

To understand this primary meaning we must go back to the word "holy" in the Old Testament. That is holy which belongs to Yahweh. There is nothing implied here as to moral character. It may refer to days and seasons, to places, to objects used for worship, or to persons. Exactly the same usage is shown.

It may refer to days and seasons, to places, to objects used for worship, or to persons. Exactly the same usage is shown with the word "sanctify." To sanctify anything is to declare it as belonging to God. "Sanctify unto me all the first-born ... it is mine" (Exodus 13:2; compare Numbers 3:13; Numbers 8:17 ). It applies thus to all that is connected with worship, to the Levites (Numbers 3:12 ), the priests and the tent of meeting (Exodus 29:44 ), the altar and all that touches it (Exodus 29:36 f), and the offering ( Exodus 29:27; compare 2 Macc 2:18; Ecclesiasticus 7:31).
