The Crown and the Temple

And the (A)word of Yahweh came to me, saying, 10 (B)Take an offering from the exiles, from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah; and you come the same day and come into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon. 11 And take silver and gold, make an ornate (C)crown, and set it on the head of (D)Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest. 12 Then you will say to him, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “Behold, a man whose name is [a](E)Branch, and He will [b](F)branch out from where He is; and He will (G)build the temple of Yahweh. 13 Indeed, it is He who will build the temple of Yahweh, and He who will (H)bear the splendor and sit and (I)rule on His throne. Thus, He will be a (J)priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace will be between the two [c]offices.”’ 14 Now the (K)crown will become a memorial in the temple of Yahweh to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and [d]Hen the son of Zephaniah. 15 (L)And those who are far off will come and [e]build the temple of Yahweh.” Then you will (M)know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me to you. And it will happen if you utterly (N)listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.
