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.

The Coronation of the Branch
9 The word of the Lord came to me: 10 “Collect silver and gold[a] from the exiles—from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah—who have arrived from Babylon, and go the same day to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah.(A) 11 Take the silver and gold and make a crown[b] and set it on the head of the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak;(B) 12 say to him: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Here is a man whose name is Branch, for he shall branch out in his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord.(C) 13 It is he who shall build the temple of the Lord; he shall bear royal honor and shall sit upon his throne and rule. There shall be a priest by his throne, with peaceful understanding between the two of them.(D) 14 And the crown[c] shall be in the care of Heldai,[d] Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Josiah[e] son of Zephaniah, as a memorial in the temple of the Lord.
15 “Those who are far off shall come and help to build the temple of the Lord, and you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. This will happen if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God.”(E)
