13 It is he who will build the Temple of the Lord and will ·receive honor [or be clothed in splendor/majesty]. He will sit on his throne and rule [C referring to Zerubbabel and ultimately to the Messiah]. And there will be a priest on his throne [C referring to Joshua the high priest and ultimately to the Messiah]. And ·these two will work together in peace [L the counsel of peace will be between the two].’ 14 The crown will be kept in the Temple of the Lord to remind ·Heldai [L Helem; C probably another name for Heldai], Tobijah, Jedaiah, and ·Josiah [L Hen; C perhaps a nickname for Josiah, meaning “gracious one”] son of Zephaniah. 15 People living far away will come and build the Temple of the Lord. Then you will know the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts] has sent me to you. This will happen if you completely obey the [L voice of the] Lord your God.”
