Zecharyah 10:7 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 10:7

And [they] of Ephraim shall be like a mighty [man]
What remain, and shall be found of the ten tribes, shall be as is said of Judah, or the Jews of the two tribes, ( Zechariah 10:5 ) : and their heart shall rejoice as through wine:
they shall be filled with inward and spiritual joy, through the love of God shed abroad in their heart; and through the Gospel of Christ having a place there; and through the blessings of divine grace, those streams of love, and which flow in the Gospel, and make glad the hearts of God's people; all which are comparable to wine: yea, their children shall see [it], and be glad;
they shall see the strength, victory, and salvation of their fathers, and the joy they shall be possessed of, and join with them in it, having a share in the same blessings they are partakers of: their heart shall rejoice in the Lord;
in the person and offices of Christ, who will now be known by the spiritual seed and offspring of the church, and in the great salvation wrought out by him, and in all the blessings of grace that accompany it. The Targum is,

``their heart shall rejoice in the word of the Lord;''

the essential Word, the Son of God.

Zecharyah 10:7 In-Context

5 Together they [Bais Yehudah, (10:3)] shall be like gibborim, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the milchamah; and they shall fight, because Hashem is with them, and they shall overthrow the riders on susim.

6 And I will strengthen the Bais Yehudah, and I will save the Bais Yosef, and I will restore them; for I have rachamim upon them; and they shall be as though I had not rejected them; for I am Hashem Eloheihem, and I will answer them.

7 And they of Ephrayim shall be like a gibbor (mighty man), and their lev shall have simcha as through yayin; yea, their banim shall see, and have simcha, and their lev shall rejoice in Hashem.

8 I will whistle for them, and I will gather them in; for I have redeemed them; and they shall multiply as they have multiplied.

9 And I will sow them among the peoples; and they shall remember Me in far countries; and they shall survive and live with their banim, and they will return.
