Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Zechariah 6:12

(12) The man.—Better, a man, as in Isaiah 32:2.Branch.—See Note on Zechariah 3:8.Shall build.—This verb is often used in a figurative sense: e.g., of a family (Genesis 16:2). Since Zerubbabel is not even mentioned in this passage, Zechariah’s hearers could not possibly have thought that this symbolical action was merely a repetition of the promise of Zechariah 4:9, but must have perceived that the building of the Temple here spoken of referred to something of a higher nature than the material... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Zechariah 6:13

(13) Even he . . . and he.—The pronoun is most emphatic in both cases. It implies that “He” shall be the true builder, “He” the true ruler.And he shall be a priest upon his throne.—This is the only natural translation of the words. The word “priest” cannot be here taken as “prince” (as in 2 Samuel 8:8), for the expression “high priest” (Zechariah 6:11) sufficiently limits its meaning. Nor can “throne” mean merely “seat” (as in 1 Samuel 4:13), because the regal dignity of “Branch” must have been... read more

(14) The crowns.—Better, the crown. (See Note on Zechariah 6:11.) The verb is in the singular.For a memorial—viz., of their piety. read more

THE RESULT OF THE VISIONS: THE CROWNING OF THE KING OF ISRAELZechariah 6:9-15The heathen being overthrown, Israel is free, and may have her king again. Therefore Zechariah is ordered-it would appear on the same day as that on which he received the Visions-to visit a certain deputation from the captivity in Babylon, Heldai, Tobiyah and Yedayah, at the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have just arrived; and to select from the gifts they have brought enough silver and gold to make... read more

CHAPTER 6 1. The eighth vision (Zechariah 6:1-8 ) 2. The crowning of Joshua, the High-Priest (Zechariah 6:9-15 ) Zechariah 6:1-8 . The last vision is the vision of the four chariots. We notice the similarity with the first night-vision. The visions opened with the hosts of heaven upon red, speckled, and white horses. It was a vision of judgment for the Gentiles and a vision of comfort to Israel. In this last vision the chariots of judgment are seen sweeping over the earth. It seems to... read more

6:12 And speak to him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name [is] The {n} BRANCH; and he shall grow {o} up out of his place, and he shall {p} build the temple of the LORD:(n) Meaning Christ, of whom Joshua was the figure: for in Greek they were both called Jesus.(o) That is, of himself without the help of man.(p) Which declares that no one could build this temple of which Haggai speaks, but only Christ: and therefore it was spiritual, and not material; Ha... read more

6:14 And the crowns shall be to {s} Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to {t} Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a {u} memorial in the temple of the LORD.(s) Who was also called Heldai.(t) He was also called Joshias.(u) That they may acknowledge their infirmity, who thought that all things would be restored immediately: and of this their infidelity these two crowns will remain as tokens; Acts 1:6 . read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 6:1-15

The Eighth Vision - Four Chariots (vv. 1-8) The last of Zechariah's visions is of four chariots coming forth between the two mountains (JND). Note that the definite article "the" is used here, and inasmuch as the city of Jerusalem has been the main subject of Zechariah's prophecy, it is evident that the two mountains are Mount Zion and Mount Olivet, between which lay the valley of Jehoshaphat. They are said to be bronze (or copper) mountains, emphasizing the holiness of God in government. It... read more

MORE OF THE PROPHET ’S OWN TIME THE GOLDEN CANDLESTICK (Zechariah 4:0 ) The candlestick was a copy of that in the early tabernacle, but with what difference (Zechariah 4:2 )? From what source was its oil supplied (Zechariah 4:3 )? What did this supply of oil from the trees symbolize (Zechariah 4:6 )? The candlestick itself may represent the temple which the Jews were now essaying to build, or the Jewish nation as a whole which was now sought to be re-established and become a light in... read more
