Hagai 2:2

2:2 “Ask the following questions to ¹  Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak, ²  and the remnant of the people:

Hagai 2:20

Zerubbabel the Chosen One

2:20 Then the Lord spoke again to Haggai ³  on the twenty-fourth day of the month: ⁴ 

[2:2]  ¹ tn Heb “say to”; NAB “Tell this to.”

[2:2]  ² tn Many English versions have “Joshua (the) son of Jehozadak the high priest,” but this is subject to misunderstanding. See the note on the name “Jehozadak” at the end of v. 1.

[2:20]  ³ tn Heb “and the word of the Lord came a second time to Haggai.” This Hebrew expression is like the one in 2:10 and is slightly different from the one in 1:1, 3; 2:1.

[2:20]  ⁴ sn Again, the twenty-fourth day of the month was Kislev 24 or December 18, 520 b.c. See v. 10.
