Zechariah 14:21

ZECHARIAH—NOTE ON Zechariah 14:21 On that day there will no longer be a trader (or a “Canaanite”; see esv footnote) in the Lord’s house. No longer will Gentiles enter the temple for business reasons, thus defiling the holiness of the Lord’s house (see Ezekiel 44:9). The temple will finally become a fit place for the Lord to dwell among his people.
