SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:14
Y Helem, y Tobías, y Jedaías, y Hen, hijo de Sofonías, tendrán coronas por memorial en el Templo del SEÑOR.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Zechariah 6:14
Verse 14. Anca the crowns shall be] One of my MSS. has twrfa ataroth, crowns, corrected into trf[ atereth, crown; and so the Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic. The Chaldee has, "And praise shall be," &c. The meaning appears to be this, that the crown made for Joshua should be delivered to the persons mentioned here and in ver. 10, to be laid up in the temple of the Lord, as a memorial of this typical transaction.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. And the crowns shall be to Helem , etc.] The same with Heldai, ( Zechariah 6:10): and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah ; the same with Josiah, ( Zechariah 6:10): for a memorial in the temple of the Lord ; the crowns, after they had been put upon the head of Joshua, were taken off, and laid up in some part of the temple, of which the Jews make mention in their Misna f138 ; and say there were golden chains fixed to the beams of the porch (of the temple), by which the young priests went up, and saw the crowns; as it is said, ( Zechariah 6:14) “and the crowns shall be to Helem”, etc.; these were laid up for a memorial of the liberality and generosity of those men, as Jarchi interprets it; who had so freely and largely offered towards the building of the temple; or rather, as Alshec f139 , another Jewish commentator, observes, they were for a memorial of something future, even of the Messiah, who was typified by Joshua; when he had those crowns upon him; for those crowns respected the glory of Christ’s government in future times; and being made both of silver and gold, and put upon the head of the high priest Joshua, denoted the union of the kingly and priestly offices in the Messiah.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-15 - Some Jews from Babylon brought an offering to the house of God. Thos who cannot forward a good work by their persons, must, as they ar able, forward it by their purses: if some find hands, let others fil them. Crowns are to be made, and put upon the head of Joshua. The sig was used, to make the promise more noticed, that God will, in the fulness of time, raise up a great High Priest, like Joshua, who is but the figure of one that is to come. Christ is not only the Foundation but the Founder of this temple, by his Spirit and grace. Glory is burden, but not too heavy for Him to bear who upholds all things. The cross was His glory, and he bore that; so is the crown an exceedin weight of glory, and he bears that. The counsel of peace should be between the priest and the throne, between the priestly and kingl offices of Jesus Christ. The peace and welfare of the gospel church and of all believers, shall be wrought, though not by two severa persons, yet by two several offices meeting in one; Christ, purchasin all peace by his priesthood, maintaining and defending it by his kingdom. The crowns used in this solemnity must be kept in the temple as evidence of this promise of the Messiah. Let us not think of separating what God has joined in his counsel of peace. We cannot com to God by Christ as our Priest, if we refuse to have him rule over u as our King. We have no real ground to think our peace is made with God, unless we try to keep his commandments __________________________________________________________________
