Book of Zechariah

In the second year of the reign of Darius, in the eighth month, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, the prophet, and he said to him: The Lord is greatly wrathful against your fathers. And they said thus: The Lord of all says, “Return to me.” The Lord of all says, “All that rule.” And do not be like your fathers, whom the former prophets rebuked, and they said to them thus: The Lord of all says, “Return from your evil ways and your wicked deeds.” And they refused my commandments, says the Lord of all. Where are your fathers and your prophets? Are they not alive forever? Now, therefore, accept my word and my law, all that I commanded by my soul to my servants, to the former prophets, whom they found for your fathers and they taught them, and they said, As the Lord of all prophesied, “Let him do to us according to our ways and according to our errors; thus he did to us.

And when the darkness had passed, on the eleventh day of the month, in the month of Shebat, in the second year of the reign of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, the prophet, and he said: I saw in the night a man riding on a red horse, standing between two mountains that had shadows, and behind him red horses and mules, and they were white. And I said to him, “What are these, my Lord?” And the angel who speaks with me said to me, “I will tell you what this is.” And the man who stood between the mountains was revealed, and he said to me, “These are those whom the Lord has sent to return to the land.” And they revealed to the angel of the Lord who stood between the mountains, and they said, “We have surveyed the whole land, and behold, the whole land is inhabited and flourishing.” And the angel of the Lord was revealed, and he said, “O Lord of all, until when will Jerusalem and the cities of Judah that were destroyed seventy years ago be rebuilt?

And the Lord said to Zechariah, the angel who spoke to me, a good word, and he told a joy. And the angel who spoke to me said to me, "Again, say thus: The Lord of all says, 'I am jealous over Jerusalem and over Judah, a great jealousy.'" And I was angry over the people, a great anger, those who opposed when I was angry, a destroyer, and they added evil. Concerning this, thus says the Lord of all: "And I will build the walls of Jerusalem again." And again the angel who spoke to me said to me, "Again, say thus: The Lord of all says, 'Again, good women will be established among the cities, and the Lord will again choose Zion and will choose Jerusalem.'" And again I lifted my eyes and saw four craftsmen. And I said to Zechariah, the angel who spoke to me, "What are these, my Lord?" And he said to me, "These, my Lord, these craftsmen are those who will scatter Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.

And he showed me four horns, the Lord. And I said to him, "What do these do, the horns?" And he said to me, "These are the horns that will gore Judah and Israel, and there is none who raises his head from among them, from Judah and Israel, and there is none who raises his head from among them. And the horns are like those who devour them with their hands. These are the four horns of the peoples, for they have raised their horns to scatter the land of the Lord." Chapter 2 And again I lifted up my eyes and saw, and there was a man, and in his hand a measuring rope. And I said to him, "Where are you going?" And he said to me, "I am measuring Jerusalem, and I am learning how much its length and how much its breadth." And while that angel who speaks with me stood, another angel came and received him. And the Lord gives to Judah its portion in the holy land, and again he will rebuild Jerusalem.

And all that have spirit tremble before the face of the Lord, for they flee from the cloud of his holiness. Chapter 3 And the Lord showed to Joshua the great priest a fire stand before the face of the angel of the Lord, and Satan stood at his right as if to accuse him. And he said to the Lord, to Satan, "The Lord will rebuke you, who chose Jerusalem and brought us here, that you might be scattered, who brought out the abominations." And Joshua also wears a filthy garment and stands before the face of the angel of the Lord. And he said to him who stands before his face, "Remove the filthy garment from him, for it is upon him." And he said, "Now I have removed your sin and clothed you with a tunic." And they placed a pure turban on his head and clothed him with a garment. And the angel of the Lord stood. And the angel of the Lord called to Joshua and said to him, "As the Lord says to all who rule, 'If you have gone in my path and kept my commandments, and you judge my house, and if you keep my court, I will give you your reward among these who stand.'

The names of Joshua, son of Jehozadak, you, the great priest, and the names of the men who were before your face, what are they? And behold, I have brought my servant the easterner. And the stone which I placed before the face of Joshua, which has one stone of seventy eyes, what are they? And behold, I, the Lord of all, say, I will rule and I will forgive every sin for that land in one day. Having said this, the Lord of all says, All of you, call your rods under your wine and under your olive tree. Chapter 4 And the angel who speaks with me and awakens me, as when a man awakens from sleep. And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I saw a lampstand of gold, all of it, and a lamp upon it, and seven lamps upon it, and seven wicks which kindle its lamp upon it. And two olive trees above it, one on the right of the lampstand and one on the left.

And after that, I asked this angel who speaks with me, and I said to him, "What is this, my Lord?" And this angel who speaks with me said to me, "Do you not know what this is?" And I said to him, "No, my Lord." And he said to me, "This is the word of the Lord which he spoke to Zerubbabel: 'I am not with great might, and I am not with strength, but with my spirit,' says the Lord, 'who rules over all.'" "What are you, O great mountain, before Zerubbabel, that you should be proud? And I brought the stone of inheritance, and I illuminated, and I made beautiful, and I made glorious." And the word of the Lord came to me, and he said to me: "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will complete it. And know that the Lord, who rules over all, has sent me to you." For he who has hidden the days of the end, they will be revealed, and they will see the stone of the ring in the hand of Zerubbabel. Those are the seven eyes of the Lord; it is he who sees all the earth.

And I said to him, "What are these two things, this which stands on the right side of the midst, and on the left?" And again I said to him, "What are these two rods which are in his hand, and these two fingers which go up and down, and these chains of gold?" And he said to me, "Do you not know what this is?" And I said to him, "No, my Lord." And he said to me, "These are the children of the shadow, those who stand before the Lord of the whole earth." Chapter 5 And again I looked and saw a sword being drawn. He said to me, "What do you see?" And I said to him, "I see a sword being drawn, and its hilt is ten cubits, and its blade is ten cubits." And he said to me, "This is the curse which goes over the whole face of the earth. Every thief, this one is slain; and for him who swears falsely, this one is slain by death." And he brought it out, saying, "The Lord God who rules over all will enter the house of the thief and the house of every one who swears falsely in my name, and will dwell in the midst of his house, and will destroy his trees and his stones.

And the angel who was speaking with me came out and said to me, "Look with your eyes and see this which passes by." And I said, "What is this?" And he said to me, "This is the measure which passes over the whole earth; their wickedness is it." And behold, a millstone of hail arises, and a woman sits in the midst of the measure. And he said to me, "This is sin and evil in the midst of the measure, and they cast a stone of hail into her mouth." And I lifted up my eyes and saw two women passing by, and wind in their wings, and they had a wing upon their feet, and they lifted up that measure between heaven and earth. And I said to the angel who was speaking with me, "Whither do those women carry the measure?" And he said to me, "They will build a house in the land of Babylon, and they will cause it to dwell, and they will cause it to abide there in a dwelling." Chapter 6 And I was amazed, and I lifted up my eyes and saw four chariots passing between the two mountains, and the mountains were of brass.

And in the first chariot, red horses; and in the second chariot, black horses. And in the third chariot, white horses; and in the fourth chariot, dappled and tawny horses. And the angel who was speaking with me said to me, "These are the four winds of heaven, and they go to stand before the Lord of the whole earth." And where the black horses go, the south; and these white horses go behind them, and the red ones go to the land of the north. And the dappled ones go out and look and go and draw the earth, and they say, "Go and pass over the land and water the earth." And he said to me, "Behold, those which go to the land of the south know my wrath in the land of the south." And the voice of the Lord came to me and said to me, "Take from the command to the angels and to your companions and to those who know it, and you shall enter, you, the house of Ousyas, son of Sophonias, who came from Babylon.

And he took up gold and silver and made crowns and placed them upon Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. And he said thus: The Lord who rules all says, Behold, a man named Seraqawi, and he will steal with his sword. And he will build the house of the Lord, and he himself will take up his inheritance and sit upon his throne, and he will judge, and a priest on his right, and counsel of peace on his right, and counsel of peace between the two of them. And the crown is for those who will be patient with him, and for his nobles, and for those who will serve them, and for the inheritance of the sons of Zephaniah, and for the descendants of Azrur within the house of the Lord. And they will come, those who are far from among them, and they will build the house of the Lord, and they will say, As the Lord who rules all sent me to you. And it will be, if you hear, you will hear the word of the Lord our God. Chapter 7 And then, in the fourth year of the reign of Darius the king, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Kaseel.

He sent them, the king from Bethel, to Sereʿaṣer and to ʾAleser and to Seb ʾUḥi, that they might hear the word of the Lord. And he said to the priests who were in the house of the Lord who rules all, and to the prophets: "Tell them, 'Where is the fast that you fasted, the holy one, in the fifth month, as we did from the foundation of the year?'" And the word of the Lord was strong with me, and he said to me: "Say to the people of the land and to the priests: 'Where is the fast that you fasted for me? And in the fifth and in the seventh, in the fiftieth year, where is the fast that you fasted for me?' And if you have eaten and drunk, is it not for yourselves that you eat, and for yourselves that you eat, and for yourselves that you drink? Is this not the word that the Lord spoke through the prophets of old, when Jerusalem was built and her walls were rebuilt, and her gates and her towers and her streets were inhabited?" And the word of the Lord was to Zechariah, and he said to him: Thus says the Lord who rules all: "Righteous judgment has been established; do righteousness and mercy upon your neighbor, all of you.

And he said, “And the dead, and the fugitives, and the exiles, and the wanderers, they shall be gathered together, and they shall not be changed in their form, and they shall not be hidden from them, for I am.” And the fathers refused to fast, and they sent from among them those who had inquired and sought their counsel, and they inquired and sought their counsel, and they did not carry the law and the word of this Lord of all, who rules, to them by his spirit, through the hands of the prophets of old, and the great wrath of the Lord of all, who rules, was. And as he said to them, the fathers who heard, likewise they would be stoned, and they would not hear them, said the Lord of all, who rules. “And I will scatter them among all the peoples who do not know, and their poverty will be forgotten, their arrival in haste and in entry, and I will make the poverty of the land desolate.” Chapter 8 And the word of the Lord of all, who rules, came, and he said: Thus said the Lord of all, who rules: “I was jealous over Jerusalem and over Zion, a great jealousy, and I was filled with great wrath.” Thus said the Lord of all, who rules: “I will be reconciled to Zion, and I will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, and Jerusalem shall be called the city of righteousness and the mountain of the Lord of all, who rules, the mountain of the sanctuary.

Thus says the Lord of All: “Again the elders and the nobles shall dwell within the ship of Jerusalem, and all their provisions shall be in their hands, by your righteousness.” And the ship of the city shall be filled with boys and girls who shall be nurtured within the ship of Jerusalem. Thus says the Lord of All: “If my people who remain before them in those days ask, and before me also they ask,” says the Lord of All. Thus says the Lord of All: “Behold, I have saved my people from the land of the east and from the land of the west. And I shall bring them and settle them in the midst of Jerusalem, and there my people shall serve me, and I shall be their God in righteousness and in truth.” Thus says the Lord of All: “The hands of those who hear in those days this word from the mouth of the prophets, from the time they built the house of the Lord of All, and from the time the house of the Lord of All was rebuilt, shall be strengthened.

From before those days, I have not found a man like him, and I have not found a reward like his, and I do not know what enters and what comes out from pain, and I have shut up all men under a yoke. And now it is not as in former days that I do, says the Lord of All who rules over all, for those who remain of my people. Show peace to them, and the vine shall give its fruit, and the earth shall give its harvest, and the sky shall give its rain, and I will bequeath all this to those who remain of my people. And as you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I have saved you, and you shall be for a blessing. Strengthen and make firm your hands. For thus says the Lord of All who rules over all: As I have pitied you, I have had compassion on you because of what your fathers did to me, says the Lord of All who rules over all. And I did not forget; so I have counseled and I have thought in those days how I might do good for Jerusalem and for the house of Judah. Trust now.

This is the matter which you do: speak righteousness with every man and with your neighbor, and let justice and peace be your custom within your gates. And all of you, look thus in your heart for your neighbor, and do not love an oath in falsehood, for all this I hate, says the Lord who rules over all. And the word of the Lord came to me, and he said to me: Thus says the Lord who rules over all: the fast of Wednesday and the fast of Thursday and the fast of the sixth day and the fast of the tenth day shall be for the house of Judah for joy and for gladness and for good feasts and for rejoicing; and love righteousness and peace. Now thus says the Lord who rules over all again: the peoples who dwell in many cities shall come, And men of cities shall enter into one city and say, "Let us go, let us prostrate ourselves before the face of the Lord who rules over all, and let us seek the face of the Lord who rules over all, and I also shall go.

And many nations shall come, and many, while they seek the face of the Lord, whom all shall rule in Jerusalem, and they shall walk about before the face of the Lord, whom all shall rule. As it says: The Lord, whom all shall rule, she said, they shall take and do evil, which from all, in the journey of the nations, the hem of a garment of a Jewish man, and they shall say to him: Let us go with you, for we have heard that the Lord is with you. Chapter 9 The remainder of the word of the Lord in the land of Sedra, and Damascus his altar, for to the Lord all the eye of man and all the people of Israel. And when upon the wall of Tyre and Sidon, the name of the one who saw was separate. And Tyre built her fortifications of a wall of brass like earth, and she gathered gold like the dust of the road. Because of this, the Lord shall inherit and command in the sea, strength, and she also shall perish by fire. And you shall see Ashkelon, and it shall fear, and Gaza shall tremble, separate, and Akron also, for she was ashamed in Gath, and a king shall be removed from Gaza, and Ashkelon also shall be destroyed.

And other nations shall dwell in Ashdod, and the burning of the wound of the Philistines shall cease. And their blood shall be from their mouths, and their spittle from the midst of their teeth, and the remnant shall be for our Lord, and they shall become like the governors of Judah, and Aaron also like the Jebusites. And I shall build a house and establish it, so that they may go forth and not enter, and no affliction shall pass over them, for now I have seen with my eyes. Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion, and be glad, O Daughter of Jerusalem; behold, your king comes, righteous and savior and gentle, and he shall ride upon donkeys and upon the foals of donkeys. And he shall remove the chariot from Ephraim and the horses from Jerusalem, and he shall destroy many peace from the nations, and he shall bring down water as far as the sea, and the rivers and the moisture of the land. And you, by the blood of the covenant, I have sent your bride-price from the cup that has no water. And they shall dwell in the fortresses, the bride-price of the eyes, and the mercy of one day, I shall give you twice.

Because the ambush of the men of Judah was before me, and like a bow I bent them, Ephraim, and I destroyed the children of Zion upon the children of Aram, and I struck you like a weapon of war that fights. And the Lord shall appear over them, and a whirlwind shall go forth like lightning, and the Lord shall rule over all; he shall blow the horn, and his wrath shall pass like a whirlwind of the south. And the Lord shall rule over all, and he shall burn them, and he shall destroy them, and he shall cover them with a stone of hail, and he shall make them drunk like wine, and they shall be filled with tumult like oil. And the Lord shall save them; this he said like a shepherd for his people, because the holy stones shall thunder in the earth. Because he has both the evil and the blessing; grain is with him for the sowers, and wine for the virgins. Chapter 10 There is rain from the Lord in spring and autumn. The Lord is good for the sight of the eye, and he gives the rain of the season, and he makes grass grow in the desert.

Because those who fasted read the thirst, and those who bowed saw falsehood, and they spoke a dream of falsehood, and they sharpened the truth, and because of the rain they turned aside like sheep, and they wore out, for there is no mercy. Because my wrath burned against you, the dead, and I saved my sheep. And the Lord will pasture all that he will rule for the pasture of the house of Judah, and they will trample like a horse trained for battle. And from him he saw, and from him he chose a bow for his wrath, and from him all that I know will come forth from him. And they will be like one who pierces the anchor of a ship while it is burned on the path of slaughter, and they will rejoice, and they cannot, because the Lord is with him, and the trainers of horses will be ashamed. And I strengthened the house of Judah and weakened the house of Joseph, and I will destroy them because I loved them, and they will be to me as when I despised them, because I am the Lord their God, I will save them. And they will be like the warriors of Ephraim, and their hearts will rejoice like one with wine, and they will see their children, and they will be silent, and their hearts will rejoice in the Lord.

I will entreat them and I will rebuke them, because I will speak to them, they will increase, as the increase of the locust. I will sow them among the peoples, and those who are far off will remember me and will sharpen their children and will be tested. And I will bring them from Persia and I will bring them to Gilead and into Lebanon, and not one of them will remain. And the one who passes over the sea of reeds will pass, and they will go over the storm of the sea, and they will dry up all the moisture of Persia, and the rod of Egypt will be broken. And I will strengthen them in the Lord, I will send them, and they will be anointed in heaven, says the Lord. Chapter 11 Open your door, Lebanon, and let fire consume your cedar. The cypress has withered because the juniper has fallen, because the princes have been destroyed one after another; the fast of Bashan has withered because the new fast has been cut off. The word of the nobles who have been silenced because their greatness has been destroyed; the word of the lions who roar because the strength of the Jordan has been destroyed. Thus says the Lord to all who will rule: the shepherds of the sheep of Qatl.

And those who have become deaf, they have stumbled and will not repent, and those who will mock me, they will say, "He is mad," the Lord and our master. And those who will see me, I will make them blind, and there is nothing for them because of me. Because of this, He will have mercy on them, indeed, for those who dwell in the land, says the Lord. And behold, I have brought man, one by one, into the hand of another, and into the hand of the king, and they will destroy the land, and they will not save them from their hands. And I will see the sheep of slaughter in Canaan, and I will raise up for myself two rods for one; I have named one "Beauty" and the other I have named "Rope," and I will see my sheep. And I destroyed three hundred in one month, and my soul is heavy upon them, for their soul is a burden upon me. And I will say to them, "I will not see you; let the dead die, and let the survivor eat grass, cut off." And I raised my rod, a tooth, and I cast it like a spear, my covenant which I covenanted with all the peoples.

And that which is false, she said, and they do not know Canaan for my sheep, those who have hidden themselves, because the word of the Lord is he. And I said to them, "If I have taught you before you, give me grass; and if not, leave me." And they chose for me grass, thirty pieces of silver. And the Lord said to me, "Throw it into the furnace and test it, if it is pure, as they advised him." And I took this piece of silver and threw it into the furnace in the house of the Lord. And I struck the second with my rod, a rope, like a bowstring, from within Judah and from within Israel. And the Lord said to me, "Again, take for yourself the property of Noah, which is of Noah the servant." For behold, I am a man who weeps in the land that has been abandoned, and I do not know; and what has been sown, I do not gather; and the harvest, I do not reap; and what has lived, I do not recognize; and it eats the flesh of the slain, and it breaks their bones. Woe to them, for truly they see those who have abandoned the sheep of the pasture in the field, and in his right eye, and his field becomes dry, and his right eye becomes blind.

The remainder of the word of the Lord upon Israel. The Lord said: He who has stretched out the sky and spread out the earth and creates the soul upon man. Behold, I shall pasture Jerusalem like a fold of a gate which is troubled by all the peoples who are of the lands, and in Judah there shall be profit for Jerusalem. And this I have said: I shall pasture Jerusalem like a stone which repels all the peoples, and all who have lied, a lie shall laugh and be cast upon her, all the peoples of the earth. This I have said: The Lord said, He who rules all, I shall strike all; he who rules, I shall strike her; I shall break the horses with hail and the chariots with storm, and I shall cover my eyes upon the house of Judah, and I shall strike all the horses of the peoples with blindness. And the princes of Judah said, "In the heart of the sea we have found for ourselves those who dwell in Jerusalem, by the Lord's faith, who rules all." This I have said: I shall pasture the house of Judah like a spark of fire in the midst of wood, and like a flame of fire in the midst of dry grass, and it shall consume all the peoples who surround them, who are to their right and to their left, and it shall dwell still, Jerusalem alone.

...and the Lord will pasture the land of Judah like a gate, like a great one; He will remember them over the house of David and raise up those who dwell in Jerusalem over Judah. And this is what the Lord will establish for those who dwell in Jerusalem, and He is the one who will be a refuge from among them, like the house of the Lord and like the angel of the Lord before them. This is what He will do: He will gather all the peoples who come to Jerusalem, as if He had brought them in. And He will place upon the house of David and upon those who dwell in Jerusalem a spirit of joy and gladness, and they will see Him and bow down to Him and embrace Him, as if they love Him, and they will bear pain as if for a firstborn. This is what He will do: the river will increase for Jerusalem, the measure of the river that flows in the wilderness, and it will embrace the river. And the earth will weep for its peoples, and the people for their own, and their women for their own; the people of the house of David for their own, and their women for their own.

The people of the house of Nathan, each by themselves, and their women, each by themselves; the people of the house of Levi, each by themselves, and their women, each by themselves; the people of the house of Simeon, each by themselves, and their women, each by themselves. Every people, each by themselves, that remained, and their women, each by themselves. Chapter 13 And that Amira will be revealed, all of them, in the journey of the house of David. And as this will be, that Amira will destroy the names of the idols from all the earth, and there will be no remembrance of them at all; and they will uproot from the earth the false prophets and the spirit of falsehood. And if a man prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will say to him, when he prophesies, “You will not be, because you have spoken falsely before the Lord,” and his father and mother who bore him will stone him when he prophesies. And that Amira will cause all the prophets to be ashamed of what they saw when they prophesied, and they will wear a garment of hair because they lied. And they will say, “I was not a prophet; I was only a deceiver of the earth; I bowed down to men from my youth.

And he said, "What is this rod in the middle of your hands?" And he said, "I have cut it in the house of my ark." He rose up, a weapon against the people of Noah and against the man of his country. The Lord said, "All of it will rule, the fire will burn for the people of Noah, and they will scatter the sheep of his pasture, and I will bring my hand against the people of Noah." And it will be in all the land. The Lord said, "Two parts of the hand will be destroyed, and a third of her hand will remain within it." And I will cast them into the fire, those three parts of the hand, and I will purify them as I purified them with silver, and I will refine them as they refine gold. And he will call my name, and I will be silent, and I will say to my people, "He is this one," and he will say to me, "The Lord is my God." Chapter 14 Behold, the days of the Lord come, and they will be divided in your blessing within you. And I will gather all the peoples; they will fight against Jerusalem, and the city will be destroyed, and the houses will be shaken, and women will be widowed, and they will go out into the midst of the city, and those who remain of my people will flee from their country.

And the Lord will go out and will fight against those peoples, as he fought on the day of the slaughter. And his anger will be kindled; that is the one who said, "In the Mount of Olives, to the east of Jerusalem, and he will split the Mount of Olives in its middle toward the east and the sea, and its middle will be shattered, that mountain toward the south, and there will be a great, strong earthquake, and its middle toward the north." And the plains of my mountains will be dried up, and the plains of my mountains will be parched, as far as Yason, as when the days of the earthquake were completed in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah. And the Lord will come, and his saints with him, having brought them. And that one who said, "There is no light," and there will be one day of hail and frost. And that day will be bitter before the Lord, and there will be no night, and at dawn the light will shine. And that one who said, "The water of life will come out from Jerusalem, half toward the former sea and half toward the latter sea, and likewise it will be in winter and in summer.

And the Lord will rule over all the earth. This is the one who said, "One is the Lord, and one is his name." And he will reach all the earth, and he will turn the desert from Gabre to Reman, and the south in Jerusalem. And Remas will dwell in the region from the border of Benjamin to the border of Dawal, the border of Sanafi, the border of Me'azin, to Mahafad of the house of the king, to Mekyad of the house of the king. They will dwell, and there will be no more war, and Jerusalem will dwell in trust. And this is their downfall, that the Lord will slay all the peoples who fought against Jerusalem. And their flesh will be cut off while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will be plucked from their sockets, and their tongues will be cut off in their mouths. And this will be the one who said, "A great plague upon them from the Lord." And one will seize the hand of another, and his hand will be cut off by the hand of another. And Judah will fight for Jerusalem, and will bring forth the strength of all the peoples who turned away, and silver and gold and many splendid garments.

And this is the fall of their horses, and their mules, and their donkeys, and their camels, and all their animals that are in their possession, and thus is their fall. And all those who remain from all the nations who came against Jerusalem, and they will go up annually, they will worship the King, the Lord God, who rules over all, their God, and they will celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. And all who go up from all the nations of the land of Jerusalem, as they worship the Lord God who rules over all, and these will be bound upon the pillars. And if the people of Egypt go up and come there, upon them also will be the fall that the Lord God will inflict upon all the nations who go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. And this is their sin, the sin of Egypt, and the sin of the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. And there will be an emir who will be in the stable of the holy horse of the Lord God who rules over all, and there will be lamps of the house of the Lord God, like the horns before the face of the altar.

And all the fields within Jerusalem and within Judah are consecrated to the Lord, so that all of them may rule, and all of them may come and offer sacrifices and lift up from among themselves, and proclaim there, and no Canaanite shall be found within the house of the Lord, so that all of them may rule.
