[2:4]  ³ sn That is, to Zechariah.

[2:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “Jerusalem will dwell as open regions (פְּרָזוֹת, pÿrazot)”; cf. NAB “in open country”; CEV “won’t have any boundaries.” The population will be so large as to spill beyond the ancient and normal enclosures. The people need not fear, however, for the Lord will be an invisible but strong wall (v. 5).

[2:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “her”; the referent (Jerusalem) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
