Zechariah

A Crown for the Priest and the Coming Branch

6
Chapter 6
9 The word of the LORD came to me, saying. 10 Take from the exiles Heldai, Tobiah, and Jedaiah. On that day, you go and enter the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah, who came from Babel. 11 Take silver and gold, make crowns, and put them on the head of Joshua son of Jehozadak, the great priest. 12 And you shall say to him, saying, Thus says the LORD of cosmic hosts, saying, Behold, a man whose name is Shoot, and from under him shall sprout, and he shall build the temple of the LORD. 13 And he will build the temple of the LORD, and he will bear splendor and sit and rule upon his throne, and he will be a priest upon his throne, and counsel of peace will be between the two of them. 14 The crowns will belong to Cholem, Tobiah, Yedʿayah, and Ḥen son of Ṣepanyâh as a memorial in the temple of the LORD. 15 And those far away will come and build in the temple of the LORD, and you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. And it will be if you hear the voice of the LORD your God.
