Commentary on Zechariah 11:7
Theological / DevotionalI will feed. Better, “I fed.”
Beauty. Heb. no‘am, “friendliness,” “kindness.” The word is related to the Ugaritic n‘m, meaning “grace,” that is, in the sense of “charm,” “loveliness,” No‘am occurs in the OT seven times and is translated “beauty” four times (Ps. 27:4; 90:17; Zech. 11:7, 10), “pleasant” twice (Prov. 15:26; 16:24), and “pleasantness” once (Prov. 3:17). Inasmuch as the breaking of the staff represents the breaking of the covenant (Zech. 11:10), the staff may be considered a symbol of the covenant.
