Zechariah 1:10

New English Translation

¹⁰Then the man standing among the myrtle trees spoke up and said, “These are the ones whom the Lord has sent to walk about^[a] on the earth.”

Zechariah 1:10 sn The stem used here (Hitpael) with the verb “walk” (הָלַךְ, halakh) suggests the exercise of dominion (cf. Gen 13:17; Job 1:7; 2:2-3; Ezek 28:14; Zech 6:7). The Lord is here about to claim sovereignty over the nations. Cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV, NLT “to patrol”; TEV “to go and inspect.”
