The Symbolic Crowns

11 Take silver and gold, make an ornate (A)crown and set it on the head of (B)Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest. 12 Then say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, “Behold, a man whose name is [a](C)Branch, for He will [b](D)branch out from where He is; and He will (E)build the temple of the Lord. 13 Yes, it is He who will build the temple of the Lord, and He who will (F)bear the honor and sit and (G)rule on His throne. Thus, He will be a (H)priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace will be between the two [c]offices.”’
