Commentary on Zechariah 8:13

Theological / Devotional

A curse. See Jer. 24:9.

House of Judah. The fact that both the house of Judah and the house of Israel are mentioned shows that the restoration was to be composed of the descendants of all 12 tribes (see Jer. 50:17-20, 33, 34). That some of each of the 12 tribes had returned seems evident (see on Ezra 6:17).

A blessing. On the role of the Israel of the restoration see pp. 27-30.
