Zec 6:9 And the word of the LORD
came unto me, saying,
Zec 6:10 Take of them of the
captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from
Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of
Zephaniah;
Zec 6:11 Then take silver and gold,
and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the
high priest;
Zec 6:12 And speak unto him, saying,
Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The
BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of
the LORD:
Zec 6:13 Even he shall build the
temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon
his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace
shall be between them both.
Zec 6:14 And the crowns shall be to
Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a
memorial in the temple of the LORD.
Zec 6:15 And they that are far off
shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD
of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will
diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.
