Zacarias 6:10-15

10 Recebe dos que foram levados cativos, a saber, de Heldai, de Tobias, e de Jedaías, e vem tu no mesmo dia, e entra na casa de Josias, filho de Sofonias, para a qual vieram de Babilônia;

11 recebe, digo, prata e ouro, e faze coroas, e põe-nas na cabeça do sumo sacerdote Josué, filho de Jeozadaque;

12 e fala-lhe, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos: Eis aqui o homem cujo nome é Renovo; ele brotará do seu lugar, e edificará o templo do Senhor.

13 Ele mesmo edificará o templo do Senhor; receberá a honra real, assentar-se-á no seu trono, e dominará. E Josué, o sacerdote, ficará � sua direita; e haverá entre os dois o conselho de paz.

14 Essas coroas servirão a Helem, e a Tobias, e a Jedaías, e a Hem, filho de Sofonias, de memorial no templo do Senhor.

15 E aqueles que estão longe virão, e ajudarão a edificar o templo do Senhor; e vós sabereis que o Senhor dos exercitos me tem enviado a vós; e isso sucederá, se diligentemente obedecerdes a voz do Senhor vosso Deus.

Zacarias 6:10-15 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ZECHARIAH 6

This chapter contains a vision of four chariots, and the explanation of it; and an order to make crowns of gold and silver for certain uses mentioned; and a famous prophecy concerning the Messiah as the builder of the temple, the church. The chariots are described by their number, four; by the place, the mountains, from whence they came out; and by the different colour of the horses in each of them, Zec 6:1-3 upon the prophets inquiry what these were, an explanation is given of them; and they are said to be the four spirits of the heavens; and are described by their situation, standing before the Lord of the whole earth; by their mission from him; by each of the places to which they were sent; and by their success, or by the good effects produced, at least by some of them, Zec 6:4-8 then follows the order to make the crowns; and it is declared what they should be made of, gold and silver; from whom they were to be had, and who were to be concerned herein; and what was to be done with them; they were to be put upon the head of Joshua the high priest, Zec 6:9-11 who, being an eminent type of Christ, a prophecy concerning him is ordered to be delivered to him; who is described by his name, the man, the Branch; by the place he should grow up from; by the work he should do, building the temple of the Lord; by the glory he should have on account of it; and by the offices of King, Priest, and Prophet, he should execute, Zec 6:12,13 and after this was done, then the crowns were to be laid up in the temple of the Lord for a memorial, by the four men above mentioned, Zec 6:14 and though the Messiah is the chief builder of the temple, the church, yet it is suggested that others, and even Gentiles, should come and build in it; and which when done, it would be evident that the prophet had his mission to the Jews of the Lord; and the chapter is closed with a promise of the accomplishment of all this, should they diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord, Zec 6:15.
