스가랴 6:9-15 KRV

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 6:15

They that are far off; οἱ μακράν , ; comp. Ephesians 2:13 , Ephesians 2:17 . The Jews who had come from Babylon to Jerusalem are a figure of the conversion of distant nations and their offerings to the Church (see Haggai 2:7 , and note there). Build in the temple of the Lord. They shall join in building up the spiritual temple, the universal Church of Christ. Ye shall know, etc. ( Zechariah 2:9 , Zechariah 2:11 ; Zechariah 4:9 ). The Angel of Jehovah is speaking in... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 6:9

And the word of the Lord came to me - The visions being closed, Zechariah marks the change by adopting the usual formula, with which the prophets authenticated, that they spake not of themselves, but by the Spirit of God. The act enjoined is a symbolic act, pointing and summing up and interpreting the visions, as some of the visions had been already expanded by fresh revelations following immediately upon them. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 6:10

Take of the captivity - Of that which they had brought with them. “The captivity” was, in Jeremiah ), and Ezekiel Ezekiel 1:2; Ezekiel 3:11, Ezekiel 3:15; Ezekiel 11:24-25, the title of those who had been actually carried captive and were at that moment in captivity. Ezra continues it of those who had been in captivity, though now returned from exile. Yet not without a reference to the circumstances or causes of that captivity. It is the “captivity” Ezra 1:11 which Sheshbazzar brings from... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 6:11

And make crowns - Or a “crown” , as in Job, “I would bind it as a crown unto me,” and our Lord is seen in the Revelation, “on His Head were many crowns” . The singular is used of “a royal crown” , apparently of a festive crown ; and figuratively; (Job 19:9, (plur. Job 31:36) Proverbs 4:9; Proverbs 12:4; Proverbs 14:24; Proverbs 16:31.Proverbs 17:6; Proverbs 17:6); even of Almighty God Himself as a crown ; but no where of the mitre of the high priest.The characteristic of the act is, that “the... 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

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 6:15

And they who are far off shall come - They who came from Babylon with offerings to God, became types of the Gentiles, of whom the Apostle says, “Now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off have become nigh through the blood of Christ” Ephesians 2:13; and, “He came and preached peace to you which were far off and to them that were nigh” Ephesians 2:17; and “the promise is to you and to your children, and to all that are far off, as many as the Lord our God shall call” Acts 2:39.And build... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Zechariah 6:9-11

Zechariah 6:9-11. And the word of the Lord came unto me, &c. The prophet here proceeds to relate how he was favoured with another revelation, respecting a kingdom very different from the preceding; saying, Take of them of the captivity, &c. That is, receive from the captivity, from Heldai, from Tobijah, &c. The exiles who remained in Babylon, showed their regard for the temple that was then building, by sending their gifts and oblations to Jerusalem, for carrying on the work,... read more
