Zacarías 2:6

6 Los desterrados son llamados a regresar
El Señor
dice: «¡Salgan! Huyan de Babilonia en la tierra del norte, porque yo los he dispersado a los cuatro vientos.

Zacarías 2:6 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 2:6

Ho, ho
This word expresses a call and proclamation; and is doubled, as Kimchi observes, to confirm it; and so the Targum paraphrases it,

``proclaim to the dispersed:''

[come forth], and flee from the land of the north, saith the Lord;
that is, from Babylon, which lay north of Judea; see ( Jeremiah 1:13 Jeremiah 1:14 ) ( Jeremiah 3:12 ) ( 6:22 ) ( 16:15 ) where many of the Jews continued, and did not return with the rest when they came up out of the captivity; and are therefore called to come forth from thence in haste; and figuratively designs, either the people of God that are among the men of the world, and are called to separate from them, and have no fellowship with there; or such as will be in mystical Babylon, a little before its destruction; and will be called out of it, lest they partake of her plagues; see ( Revelation 18:4 ) : for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith
the Lord;
meaning either the dispersion of the Jews in Babylon, and other countries; or of the people of God, being scattered up and down in the jurisdiction of Rome Papal; or the sense is, that it was his will and purpose, when they were come out of Babylon, that they should be spread in the several parts of the world, to support the cause of Christ, and strengthen his interest.

Zacarías 2:6 In-Context

4 El otro ángel dijo:
—Apresúrate y dile a ese joven: “¡Jerusalén algún día estará tan llena de gente y de animales que no habrá lugar suficiente para todos! Muchos vivirán fuera de las murallas de la ciudad.

5 Entonces yo mismo seré un muro de fuego protector alrededor de Jerusalén —dice el Señor
—. ¡Y seré la gloria dentro de la ciudad!”.

6 Los desterrados son llamados a regresar
El Señor
dice: «¡Salgan! Huyan de Babilonia en la tierra del norte, porque yo los he dispersado a los cuatro vientos.

7 ¡Sal, pueblo de Sión, tú que estás desterrado en Babilonia!».

8 Después de un período de gloria, el Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales me envió
contra las naciones que los saquearon a ustedes. Pues él dijo: «Cualquiera que te dañe, daña a mi más preciada posesión.
