Zechariah 6:12

Zechariah 6:12

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.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Zechariah 6:11

Zechariah 6:13 >>

Unto him - Joshua, but in the hearing of others. Whose name is the Branch - Whom you know by the name of the Branch, who was called so long since. Thou, O Joshua art the portrait, he is the Branch itself. Out of his place - Of the tribe and family, and in the place foretold. He shall build - He it is, though unseen, that stands by you, who build the material temple, far inferior to the spiritual temple, which Christ will build, preserve, and dwell in for ever.
