The Crown and the Temple

⁹ 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.
