Zechariah 6:12

Context
6:12 Then say to him, ‘The Lord who rules over all says, “Look – here is the man whose name is Branch, 1  who will sprout up from his place and build the temple of the Lord.

1 tn The epithet “Branch” (צֶמַח, tsemakh) derives from the verb used here (יִצְמָח, yitsmakh, “will sprout up”) to describe the rise of the Messiah, already referred to in this manner in Zech 3:8 (cf. Isa 11:1; 53:2; Jer 33:15). In the immediate context this refers to Zerubbabel, but the ultimate referent is Jesus (cf. John 19:5).
