Commentary
Commentary on Zechariah 12:3
Theological / DevotionalBurdensome stone. Better, “a heavy stone.” Jerusalem would be like a boulder too heavy to lift and, apparently, one with rough, jagged edges.
Cut in pieces. Heb. sarat, a verb occurring elsewhere only in Lev. 21:5, where it describes the making of voluntary incisions such as were forbidden to the Israelites. The Hebrew construction is emphatic, meaning, “severely cut.” God’s special protection would be upon His people. Those who attempted to hurt them would themselves be hurt.
