(B)‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’
Says the Lord of hosts.
‘Who are you, (C)O great mountain?
Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain!
And he shall bring forth (D)the capstone
(E)With shouts of “Grace, grace to it!” ’ ”

Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

“The hands of Zerubbabel
(F)Have laid the foundation of this [a]temple;
His hands (G)shall also finish it.
Then (H)you will know
That the (I)Lord of hosts has sent Me to you.

For these seven rejoice to see
The [b]plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.

Which scan to and fro throughout the whole earth.”

The one lamb you shall offer in the morning, the other lamb you shall offer in the evening, and (B)one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a (C)grain offering mixed with one-fourth of a hin of pressed oil.

‘And on the Sabbath day two lambs in their first year, without blemish, and two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with oil, with its drink offering— 10 this is (F)the burnt offering for every Sabbath, besides the regular burnt offering with its drink offering.
