Zechariah 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.

Ex 12:49; Ps 22:27-30; Ps 68:29-31; Ps 72:8-11,17; Isa 2:2-5; Isa 11:9,10; Isa 19:24,25; Isa 42:1-4; Isa 45:14; Isa 49:6,7,22,23; Isa 52:10; Isa 60:3-7; Isa 66:19; Jer 16:19; Eze 33:33; Zec 2:9; Zec 3:10; Zec 8:20-23; Mal 1:11; Lu 2:32; Joh 17:21,23,25; Ac 28:28; 1Pe 2:9,10; Re 11:15

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).
