The word of the LORD
This phrase signifies divine communication, a hallmark of prophetic literature. In Hebrew, "word" is "dabar," which implies not just spoken words but also actions and events. The "LORD" here is "YHWH," the covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal and unchanging nature. This phrase assures the reader of the divine origin and authority of the message, underscoring that what follows is not merely human insight but a revelation from God Himself. Historically, this reflects the period of post-exilic restoration, where God's guidance was crucial for the rebuilding of the Jewish community.

came to me
This indicates the personal nature of the revelation. The prophet Zechariah is the recipient, highlighting the intimate relationship between God and His chosen messengers. The Hebrew verb "bo" (came) suggests an arrival or entrance, emphasizing that God's word actively seeks out His prophets. This personal encounter is a reminder of God's initiative in reaching out to humanity, ensuring His will is communicated clearly and effectively.

saying
This word introduces the content of the divine message. In Hebrew, "amar" is used, which is a common verb for speaking, but in the context of divine speech, it carries the weight of authority and purpose. The use of "saying" prepares the audience for a direct and important message from God. It is a call to attention, urging the listener to heed what follows as it carries divine significance and instruction.

Verses 9-15. - § 11. A symbolical action - the crowning of the high priest. Verse 9. - The preceding visions having come to an end, they are now confirmed by a public act which should show the glory of the future temple, the acceptance of the members of the theocracy, and the King and Priest who Was to come. Came unto me. This was probably on the morning after the night of visions, or as soon as he had divulged them to the people.
