The Command to Crown Joshua

9 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
10 “Receive the gift from the captives—from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, who have come from Babylon—and go the same day and enter the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah.
11 Take the silver and gold, make aan elaborate crown, and set it on the head of bJoshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest.  
12 Then speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, saying:
“Behold, athe Man whose name is the bBRANCH!
From His place He shall1 branch out,
cAnd He shall build the temple of the Lord; 
13 Yes, He shall build the temple of the Lord.
He ashall bear the glory,
And shall sit and rule on His throne;
So bHe shall be a priest on His throne,
And the counsel of peace shall be between1 them both.” ’  
14 “Now the1 elaborate crown shall be afor a memorial in the temple of the Lord2 for Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Hen the son of Zephaniah.  
15 Even athose from afar shall come and build the temple of the Lord. Then you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you. And this shall come to pass if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God.”

Zechariah 6:10

NINTH VISION. THE CROWNING OF JOSHUA. (Zechariah 6:9-15)

Take of them of the captivity—Take silver and gold (Zechariah 6:11) from them. The three named came from Babylon (where some of the exiled Jews still were left) to present gifts of silver and gold towards the building of the temple. But in Zechariah 6:11, Zechariah 6:14, "crowns" are directed to be made of them, then to be set on Joshua's head, and to be deposited in the temple as a memorial of the donors, until Messiah shall appear.

Heldai—meaning "robust." Called Helem below.

Tobijah—that is, "the goodness of God."

Jedaiah—that is, "God knows."

which are come from Babylon—This clause in the Hebrew comes after "Josiah son of Zephaniah." Therefore, MOORE thinks Josiah as well as the three "came from Babylon." But as he has a "house" at Jerusalem, he is plainly a resident, not a visitor. Therefore English Version is right; or MAURER, "Josiah son of Zephaniah, to whom they are come (as guests) from Babylon."

the same day—No time was to be lost to mark the significancy of their coming from afar to offer gifts to the temple, typifying, in the double crown made of their gifts and set on Joshua's head, the gathering in of Israel's outcasts to Messiah hereafter, who shall then be recognized as the true king and priest.
