Zechariah 2:12

2:12 The Lord will take possession of ¹  Judah as his portion in the holy land and he will choose Jerusalem once again.

Zechariah 4:12

4:12 Before he could reply I asked again, “What are these two extensions ²  of the olive trees, which are emptying out the golden oil through the two golden pipes?”

¹ tn Heb “will inherit” (so NIV, NRSV).

² tn The usual meaning of the Hebrew term שְׁבֹּלֶת (shÿbolet) is “ears” (as in ears of grain). Here it probably refers to the produce of the olive trees, i.e., olives. Many English versions render the term as “branches,” but cf. NAB “tufts.”
