Zechariah 2:11-12
2:11 “Many nations will join themselves to the Lord on the day of salvation, 1 and they will also be my 2 people. Indeed, I will settle in the midst of you all.” Then you will know that the Lord who rules over all has sent me to you.
2:12 The Lord will take possession of 3 Judah as his portion in the holy land and he will choose Jerusalem once again.
1 tn Heb “on that day.” The descriptive phrase “of salvation” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
2 tc The LXX and Syriac have the 3rd person masculine singular suffix in both places (“his people” and “he will settle”; cf. NAB, TEV) in order to avoid the Lord’s speaking of himself in the third person. Such resort is unnecessary, however, in light of the common shifting of person in Hebrew narrative (cf. 3:2).
3 tn Heb “will inherit” (so NIV, NRSV).
