Zechariah 2:11

Context
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.

Zechariah 6:15

Context
6:15 Then those who are far away 3  will come and build the temple of the Lord so that you may know that the Lord who rules over all has sent me to you. This will all come to pass if you completely obey the voice of the Lord your God.”’”

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 sn Those who are far away is probably a reference to later groups of returning exiles under Ezra, Nehemiah, and others.
