Zechariah 10:8-11
New English Translation
Zechariah 10:8-11
New English Translation
8 I will signal for them and gather them, for I have already redeemed them; then they will become as numerous as they were before. 9 Though I scatter[a] them among the nations, they will remember in far-off places—they and their children will survive and return. 10 I will bring them back from Egypt and gather them from Assyria.[b] I will bring them to the lands of Gilead and Lebanon, and there will not be enough room for them. 11 The Lord[c] will cross the sea of storms and will calm its turbulence. The depths of the Nile will dry up, the pride of Assyria will be humbled, and the domination[d] of Egypt will be no more.

- Zechariah 10:9 tn Or “sow” (so KJV, ASV). The imagery is taken from the sowing of seed by hand.
- Zechariah 10:10 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).
- Zechariah 10:11 tn Heb “he,” in which case the referent is the Lord. This reading is followed by KJV, ASV, NAB (which renders it as first person), and NASB. The LXX reads “they,” referring to the Israelites themselves, a reading followed by many modern English versions (e.g., NIV, NRSV, TEV, NLT).
- Zechariah 10:11 tn Heb “scepter,” referring by metonymy to the dominating rule of Egypt (cf. NLT).

Zechariah 10:8-11
New International Version
8 I will signal(A) for them
and gather them in.
Surely I will redeem them;
they will be as numerous(B) as before.
9 Though I scatter them among the peoples,
yet in distant lands they will remember me.(C)
They and their children will survive,
and they will return.
10 I will bring them back from Egypt
and gather them from Assyria.(D)
I will bring them to Gilead(E) and Lebanon,
and there will not be room(F) enough for them.
11 They will pass through the sea of trouble;
the surging sea will be subdued
and all the depths of the Nile will dry up.(G)
Assyria’s pride(H) will be brought down
and Egypt’s scepter(I) will pass away.(J)
