Commentary on Zechariah 1:20

Theological / Devotional

Carpenters. Heb. charashim, “artisans.” The word denotes workers in stone (Ex. 28:11), wood (2 Sam. 5:11), metal (1 Sam. 13:19), etc. Many conjectures have been made as to the identity of these four artisans. The number “four” may denote simply “the four comers of the earth” whither the outcasts of Israel had been scattered (Isa. 11:12). The artisans represented “the agencies used by the Lord in restoring His people and the house of His worship” (PK 581).
