Zechariah 6:7-14 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

7. When the strong horses went out, they were anxious to go to patrol the earth. And he said, “Go, patrol the earth.” And they patrolled the earth.

8. And he cried out to me and said to me, “See those going out to the north country have set my spirit at rest in the north country.”

9. And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

10. “Collect from the exiles—from Heldai, Tobijah, and from Jedaiah, all of whom came from Babylon—and go on that day, go to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah.

11. Take the silver and gold and make a crown, and set it on the head of Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest.

12. And say to him, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts: “Look, here is a man whose name is Branch, and from his place he will sprout, and he will build the temple of Yahweh.

13. And he will build the temple of Yahweh, and he will bear majesty and will sit and rule on his throne. And he shall be a priest on his throne, and the counsel of peace will be between the two of them.” ’

14. And the crown will be for Helem, for Tobijah, for Jedaiah, and for Hen son of Zephaniah, as a memorial in the temple of Yahweh.
