Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.
Every cooking pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be set apart for God. Anyone who comes to offer sacrifices will be able to use them for cooking their offerings. And on that day, there won't be any more merchants selling stuff in God's house.
When God's kingdom comes, even the everyday stuff will be holy, and his house will finally be pure.
