Zechariah 13:6

Context
13:6 Then someone will ask him, ‘What are these wounds on your chest?’ 1  and he will answer, ‘Some that I received in the house of my friends.’

1 tn Heb “wounds between your hands.” Cf. NIV “wounds on your body”; KJV makes this more specific: “wounds in thine hands.”

sn These wounds on your chest. Pagan prophets were often self-lacerated (Lev 19:28; Deut 14:1; 1 Kgs 18:28) for reasons not entirely clear, so this false prophet betrays himself as such by these graphic and ineradicable marks.
