5 I vostri padri dove son essi? E i profeti potevan essi vivere in perpetuo?

Zaccaria 1:5 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 1:5

7 Il ventiquattresimo giorno dell’undecimo mese, che è il mese di Scebat, nel secondo anno di Dario, la parola dell’Eterno fu rivolta a Zaccaria, figliuolo di Berekia, figliuolo d’Iddo, il profeta, in questi termini:
