Verse 10
Another prophecy came from the Lord on the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month of 520 B.C. (Kislev 24, December 18). This date holds particular significance because it was on this day, five years later, that the temple was rededicated. The Jews celebrated this event with the Feast of Chanukah (lit. Dedication) and still do. During the two months between this prophecy and the former one (Haggai 2:1-9), Zechariah began his ministry in Jerusalem (Zechariah 1:1).
