Zakharia 4:7

Oracle of Response

4:7 “What are you, you great mountain? ³  Because of Zerubbabel you will become a level plain! And he will bring forth the temple ⁴  capstone with shoutings of ‘Grace! Grace!’ ⁵  because of this.”

[1:39]  ¹ tn Heb “the horn of oil.” This has been specified as olive oil in the translation for clarity.

[1:39]  sn A horn filled with oil. An animal’s horn was used as an oil flask in the anointing ceremony.

[1:39]  ² tn Or “anointed.”

[4:7]  ³ sn In context, the great mountain here must be viewed as a metaphor for the enormous task of rebuilding the temple and establishing the messianic kingdom (cf. TEV “Obstacles as great as mountains”).

[4:7]  ⁴ tn The word “temple” has been supplied in the translation to clarify the referent (cf. NLT “final stone of the Temple”).

[4:7]  ⁵ sn Grace is a fitting response to the idea that it was “not by strength and not by power” but by God’s gracious Spirit that the work could be done (cf. v. 6).
