Zechariah 8:23
_ _ ten — a definite number for an indefinite. So in Leviticus 22:26; Numbers 14:22.
_ _ of all languages of the nations — that is, of nations of all languages (compare Isaiah 66:18; Revelation 7:9).
_ _ take hold of the skirt — a gesture of suppliant entreaty as to a superior. Compare Isaiah 3:6; Isaiah 4:1, on a different occasion. The Gentiles shall eagerly seek to share the religious privileges of the Jew. The skirt with a fringe and blue ribbon upon it (Numbers 15:38; Deuteronomy 22:12) was a distinguishing badge of a Jew.
_ _ God is with you — the effect produced on unbelievers in entering the assemblies of the Church (1 Corinthians 14:25). But primarily, that produced on the nations in witnessing the deliverance of the Jews by Cyrus. Finally, that to be produced on the nations by the future grand interposition of Messiah in behalf of His people. |
Zechariah 8:23
Ten men — That is, many men. All languages — No nation is any longer excluded. A Jew — To whom the gospel was first preached. We have heard — And now see, and are assured. That God — The true God, the only true God, whom to know is life eternal. |
