Hagai 1:13

1:13 Then Haggai, the Lord’s messenger, spoke the Lord’s word to the people: ¹  “I am with you!” says the Lord.

Hagai 2:20

Zerubbabel the Chosen One

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

[1:13]  ¹ tn Heb “Haggai, the messenger of the Lord, said by the message of the Lord to the people.” The Hebrew is highly repetitive; in keeping with contemporary English style this has been simplified in the translation.

[2:20]  ² 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]  ³ sn Again, the twenty-fourth day of the month was Kislev 24 or December 18, 520 b.c. See v. 10.
