The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 6:9-15

The ministry of Messiah. "And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying," etc. The series of striking visions which we have now been considering had a kind of "prologue" in Zechariah 1:1-6 . We seem to have the corresponding "epilogue" here. It turns on the fact of the arrival (probably about the same season, no special note of time being given as in Zechariah 7:1 ) of certain visitors at Jerusalem, with offerings for the temple, from a "far" country, viz. "Babylon" (see Zechariah... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 6:9-15

Messiah the Prince. "Behold." I. THE COMING MAN OF THE AGES . "Branch." Lowliness, and yet dignity. The heathens fabled that the Titans were sons of heaven and earth. Here is what they vainly imagined. "Grew up." Natural development. Perfection of humanity. Long the cry was, "He cometh." We see his shadow in every sacrifice. Find his presence in every prophecy. Hear his footfall in every promise. He was the Hope of Israel, and the Desire of all nations. II. CHARGED ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 6:9-15

The matchless Man in history. "And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Take of them of the Captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day." The crowning, the work, and the position of Joshua spoken of in these verses are obviously employed to symbolize some coming Man who would be matchless in all history. Concerning this matchless Man, we are here taught— I. THAT HE IS ONE WHOM HEAVEN COMMANDS THE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 6:12

Speak unto him, saying. The prophet is to explain to Joshua the meaning of this public act. Behold the Man whose name is The BRANCH ; literally, behold the man, BRANCH is his name (see note on Zechariah 3:8 ). The Targum has, "Behold the Man, Messiah is his name." It is plain that the term "Branch" or "Shoot" ( LXX ; ἀνατολή : Vulgate, Oriens ) could not be addressed to Joshua; indeed, the very form of the sentence, "his name," not "thy name," shows this. All who saw the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 6:13

Even he shall build. A forcible repetition of the preceding statement, laying stress on the Person, "He, and no one else, shall build." The clause is omitted by the Septuagint. He shall bear the glory. The word rendered "glory" is used to denote royal honours here, as in 1 Chronicles 29:25 ; Jeremiah 22:18 ; Daniel 11:21 . Messiah shall have regal majesty. Compare the many passages where the glory of Christ is spoken of; e.g. John 1:14 ; John 2:11 ; John 17:5 ; Luke 9:32 ; ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 6:14

The crowns shall be … for a memorial. The crown was to be taken from Joshua's head and deposited in the temple as a memorial of this prophecy, and of the zeal of those who had come from far to bring offerings to the Lord, and likewise of the hospitality of Josiah, who had received them into his house. That such "gifts" were dedicated in the temple is well known. Helem is the same as Heldai (verse 10), whether he bore both names, or whether, as is probable, this is a mere mistake of a... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 6:12

The prophet is taught to explain his own symbolic act. “Behold the Man whose name is the Branch” . “Not for himself, but for Christ, whose name Joshua bare, and whose Priesthood and Princedom he represented,” was the crown given him. The prophet had already foretold the Messiah, under the name of the Branch. Here he adds,And he shall grow up out of His place - Lowly and of no seeming account, as God foretold by Jeremiah, “I will cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David” Jeremiah... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 6:13

Even He - Literally, “He Himself.” The repetition shows that it is a great thing, which he affirms; “and He,” again emphatic, “He,” the same who shall build the temple of the Lord, “He shall bear the glory.” Great must be the glory, since it is affirmed of Him as of none beside, “He shall bear glory,” “He should build the temple of the Lord,” as none beside ever built it; He should bear glory, as none beside ever bare it, “the glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 6:14

And the crowns shall be to Helem - There is no ground apparent to us, why the name “Helem” appears instead of “Holdai” , or “Hen” for “Josiah:” yet the same person must have been called both Hen and Josiah, since the father’s name is the same in both places. They cannot both be intended as explanations of the former names, since Helem stands insulated in Hebrew, its meaning conjectural. Perhaps then they were the own names of the individuals, and the names compounded with the name of God,... read more
