Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:16
Shall even go up from year to year - The Jews had three grand original festivals, which characterized different epochs in their history, viz.: - The feast of the passover, in commemoration of their departure from Egypt. The feast of pentecost, in commemoration of the giving of the law upon Mount Sinai. The feast of tabernacles, in commemoration of their wandering forty years in the wilderness.

The margin reads bridles. ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 14:21
Yea, every pot in Jerusalem - "The utensils of the Jews shall be treated as holy, and the worshippers shall use them reverently. The idea of preparing food in them (they that - seethe therein) is taken from the custom of feasting after sacrifice. And no trafficker (see Ezekiel 18:4 ;) shall pollute the house of God, as was the custom when our blessed Lord cleansed the temple." - See Newcome.
