Zechariah 2:12-13

2:12 The Lord will take possession of Judah as his portion in the holy land and he will choose Jerusalem once again. 2:13 Be silent in the Lord’s presence, all people everywhere, for he is being moved to action in his holy dwelling place.


tn Heb “will inherit” (so NIV, NRSV).

tn Heb “all flesh”; NAB, NIV “all mankind.”

sn The sense here is that God in heaven is about to undertake an occupation of his earthly realm (v. 12) by restoring his people to the promised land.
