13:8It will happen in all the land, says the Lord,
that two-thirds of the people11 in it will be cut off and die,
but one-third will be left in it.12
Footnotes
- 11 The words “of the people” are supplied in the translation for clarity (cf. , , ).
- 12 The fractions mentioned here call to mind the affliction of God’s people described by Ezekiel, though Ezekiel referred to his own times whereas Zechariah is looking forward to a future eschatological age. Ezekiel spoke of cutting his hair at God’s command (Ezek 5:1–4) and then of burning a third of it, striking a third with a sword, and scattering the rest. From this last third a few hairs would survive to become the nucleus of a new Israel. It is this “third” Zechariah speaks of (v. 9), the remnant who will be purified and reclaimed as God’s covenant people.
