Zechariah 9:8

Context
9:8 Then I will surround my temple 1  to protect it like a guard 2  from anyone crossing back and forth; so no one will cross over against them anymore as an oppressor, for now I myself have seen it.

Zechariah 10:10

Context
10:10 I will bring them back from Egypt and gather them from Assyria. 3  I will bring them to the lands of Gilead and Lebanon, for there will not be enough room for them in their own land.

1 tn Heb “house” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV).

2 tn Though a hapax legomenon, the מִצָּבָה (mitsavah) of the MT (from נָצַב, natsav, “take a stand”) is preferable to the suggestion מַצֵּבָה (matsevah, “pillar”) or even מִצָּבָא (mitsava’, “from” or “against the army”). The context favors the idea of the Lord as a protector.

3 sn I will bring them back from Egypt…from Assyria. The gathering of God’s people to their land in eschatological times will be like a reenactment of the exodus, but this time they will come from all over the world (cf. Isa 40:3-5; 43:1-7, 14-21; 48:20-22; 51:9-11).
