Zechariah 13:3

Sermon Bible Commentary - Zechariah 13:1-6

Zechariah 13:1-6 I. In the words "for sin and for uncleanness" there is apparently an allusion in the former to the water used in the purification of the Levites at their consecration, and in the latter to the water for the purifying of the congregation of Israel, prepared from mixing the ashes of the red heifer slain as a sacrifice with water. As water applied to the person removes bodily defilement, it becomes a fitting emblem of that which removes from the inner man moral defilement. Here... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Zechariah 13:1-9

And in that day ( Zechariah 13:1 )"In that day, in that day." Here it is again, "in that day,"there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and uncleanness ( Zechariah 13:1 ).Reminds us of that beautiful song, "There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel's veins, and sinners plunge beneath that flood with all their guilty stains." But the fountain will be open in Jerusalem as they recognize Jesus Christ as the Messiah and as the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Zechariah 13:1-9

Zechariah 13:1 . In that day there shall be a fountain opened for sin and for uncleanness. The beasts slain without the camp, the execrated beasts, from whose ashes the waters of sprinkling were secreted, gave the chief of sinners, and the most polluted a title to enter the congregation of the Lord. In like manner, we should note, that the most holy persons, as Aaron and his sons, were washed before they were anointed to the priestly office. Solomon also was taken in haste to the great... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 13:1-3

1. In that day When the mourning described in Zechariah 12:10-14, will be held. Shall be a fountain opened Zechariah 12:10, ascribes the penitential mourning to the influence of a divinely sent spirit, which creates repentance for sin and leads the people to make penitential supplication; but Jehovah will provide also the means of purification. The figure is adopted in part from the “water of expiation” (Numbers 8:7), and in part from the “water of impurity” (Numbers 19:9; compare... read more

Jehovah will be merciful, remove all sin, and bring about a complete moral transformation in the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 13:1-9

VARIOUS UTTERANCES CONCERNING THE FUTURE OF ISRAEL, Zechariah 12:1 to Zechariah 14:21. The heading (Zechariah 12:1) names the subject of these utterances, Israel, a term used here not in a national but in a religious sense of the people of Jehovah. The prophecies center around Jerusalem and Judah, the home of the postexilic Jewish community. The section falls naturally into two parts, Zechariah 12:1 to Zechariah 13:6, and Zechariah 14:1-21; Zechariah 13:7-9, has no close connection either with... read more
