9 The word of the LORD came to me: |
10 "Take silver and gold from the exiles Heldai, Tobijah and Jedaiah, who have arrived from Babylon. Go the same day to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah. |
11 Take the silver and gold and make a crown, and set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua son of Jehozadak. |
12 Tell him this is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Here is the man whose name is the Branch, and he will branch out from his place and build the temple of the LORD . |
13 It is he who will build the temple of the LORD , and he will be clothed with majesty and will sit and rule on his throne. And he will be a priest on his throne. And there will be harmony between the two.' |
14 The crown will be given to Heldai,4 6:14 Syriac; Hebrew Helem Tobijah, Jedaiah and Hen5 6:14 Or and the gracious one, the son of Zephaniah as a memorial in the temple of the LORD . |
