⁹The word of the Lord came to me: ¹⁰“Collect silver and gold^w from the exiles—from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah—who have arrived from Babylon, and go the same day to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah.^* ¹¹Take the silver and gold and make a crown^x and set it on the head of the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak;^* ¹²say to him: Thus says the Lord of hosts: Here is a man whose name is Branch, for he shall branch out in his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord.^* ¹³It is he who shall build the temple of the Lord; he shall bear royal honor and shall sit upon his throne and rule. There shall be a priest by his throne, with peaceful understanding between the two of them.^* ¹⁴And the crown^y shall be in the care of Heldai,^z Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Josiah^a son of Zephaniah, as a memorial in the temple of the Lord.

¹⁵“Those who are far off shall come and help to build the temple of the Lord, and you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. This will happen if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God.”^*
