Zechariah 2:12

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Zechariah 2:10-13

Here is, I. Joy proclaimed to the church of God, to the daughter of Zion, that had separated herself from the daughter of Babylon. The Jews that had returned were in distress and danger, their enemies in the neighbourhood were spiteful against them, their friends that remained in Babylon were cool towards them, shy of them, and declined coming in to their assistance; and yet they are directed to sing, and to rejoice even in tribulation. Note, Those that have recovered their purity, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zechariah 2:12

And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land ,.... The Lord's people is his portion, and the lot of his inheritance; whom he has chosen, and calls as such, whether they be Jews or Gentiles; but here it seems to mean the believing Jews; who, it is very likely, upon their conversion, will be returned to their own land, here called "the holy land"; because formerly here the Lord's holy people dwelt, his holy sanctuary was, and his holy worship and ordinances were attended on;... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 2:12

Verse 12 The Prophet confirms the former doctrine, but removes offenses, which might have occurred to the Jews and prevented them from believing this prophecy: for they had been for a time rejected, so that there was no difference between them and other nations. The land of Canaan had been given them as a pledge of their heirship; but they had been thence expelled, and there had been no temple, no public worship, no kingdom. The Jews then might have concluded from all these reasons, that they... read more

The benefits of God's presence. "Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for to, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee," etc. In these verses the prophecy takes us back to a thought twice touched on already (see Zechariah 1:16 ; Zechariah 2:5 ), viz. the manifested presence of God with his people. Three times over in the present passage is this same thought referred to (observe" I will dwell," both in Zechariah 2:10 and Zechariah 2:11 ; and "habitation," in Zechariah 2:13 ... read more

The joy of the millennial Church. "Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord," etc. "The daughter Zion, or the Church of the Lord, delivered out of Babylon, is to rejoice with joy, because her glorification is commencing now. The Lord comes to her in his angel, in whom is his Name ( Exodus 23:21 ) and his face ( Exodus 33:14 ), i.e. the Angel of his face ( Isaiah 63:9 ), who reveals his nature, to dwell in the midst... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 2:12

Shall inherit Judah. The Lord, though it is true that many other nations shall be converted, shall take Judah ( i.e. the whole Jewish nation) as his portion, in accordance with Deuteronomy 32:9 . In the holy land. This expression is not found elsewhere applied to Judaea, nor is it to be confined to that nation here. Every land is holy where the Lord dwells. The conversion of the heathen should emanate from Judaea ( Luke 24:47 ), and spread through all the world, and thus the earth... read more
