Zechariah 3:8

Context
3:8 Listen now, Joshua the high priest, both you and your colleagues who are sitting before you, all of you 1  are a symbol that I am about to introduce my servant, the Branch. 2 

Zechariah 7:3

Context
7:3 by asking both the priests of the temple 3  of the Lord who rules over all and the prophets, “Should we weep in the fifth month, 4  fasting as we have done over the years?”

Zechariah 8:13

Context
8:13 And it will come about that just as you (both Judah and Israel) were a curse to the nations, so I will save you and you will be a blessing. Do not be afraid! Instead, be strong!’

Zechariah 14:8

Context
14:8 Moreover, on that day living waters will flow out from Jerusalem, 5  half of them to the eastern sea 6  and half of them to the western sea; 7  it will happen both in summer and in winter.

1 tn Heb “these men.” The cleansing of Joshua and his elevation to enhanced leadership as a priest signify the coming of the messianic age.

2 sn The collocation of servant and branch gives double significance to the messianic meaning of the passage (cf. Isa 41:8, 9; 42:1, 19; 43:10; 44:1, 2, 21; Ps 132:17; Jer 23:5; 33:15).

3 tn Heb “house” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV).

4 sn This lamentation marked the occasion of the destruction of Solomon’s temple on August 14, 586 b.c., almost exactly 70 years earlier (cf. 2 Kgs 25:8).

5 sn Living waters will flow out from Jerusalem. Ezekiel sees this same phenomenon in conjunction with the inauguration of the messianic age (Ezek 47; cf. Rev 22:1-5; also John 7:38).

6 sn The eastern sea is a reference to the Dead Sea (cf. NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT).

7 sn The western sea is a reference to the Mediterranean Sea (cf. NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT).
