Zechariah 6:11

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.”
