Zechariah 6:7
6:7 All these strong ones 1 are scattering; they have sought permission to go and walk about over the earth.” The Lord had said, “Go! Walk about over the earth!” So they are doing so.
Zechariah 9:13
9:13 I will bend Judah as my bow; I will load the bow with Ephraim, my arrow! 2 I will stir up your sons, Zion, against yours, Greece, and I will make you, Zion, 3 like a warrior’s sword.
Zechariah 14:2
14:2 For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem 4 to wage war; the city will be taken, its houses plundered, and the women raped. Then half of the city will go into exile, but the remainder of the people will not be taken away. 5
1 tn The present translation takes אֲמֻצִּים (’amutsim, “strong”) to be a descriptive of all the horses – white, black, red, and spotted (cf. NAB, NIV, NLT).
2 tn The words “my arrow” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation to clarify the imagery for the modern reader (cf. NRSV, NLT).
3 tn The word “Zion” is not repeated here in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation to indicate that the statement refers to Zion and not to Greece.
