Zechariah 14:19 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 14:19

This shall be the punishment of Egypt
Or "sin" ^F4, as in the original text: rightly is the word rendered "punishment", as it is by the Targum:

and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the
feast of tabernacles;
which will be one and the same; they shall have no rain, or what answers to it; they shall all have a famine; or it will be different, Egypt shall be punished with a consumption of their flesh, and the other nations with want of rain: the former sense seems best.

Zechariah 14:19 In-Context

17 It will be, that whoever of all the families of the eretz doesn't go up to Yerushalayim to worship the King, the LORD of Hosts, on them there will be no rain.

18 If the family of Mitzrayim doesn't go up, and doesn't come, neither will it rain on them. This will be the plague with which the LORD will strike the nations that don't go up to keep the feast of booths.

19 This will be the punishment of Mitzrayim, and the punishment of all the nations that don't go up to keep the feast of booths.

20 In that day there will be on the bells of the horses, "HOLY TO THE LORD;" and the pots in the LORD's house will be like the bowls before the altar.

21 Yes, every pot in Yerushalayim and in Yehudah will be holy to the LORD of Hosts; and all those who sacrifice will come and take of them, and cook in them. In that day there will no longer be a Kana`ani in the house of the LORD of Hosts.
