NASB | Zechariah 12:10 ¶ "I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Zechariah 12:10 ¶ "I will pour out on the house of David and on the people of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace (unmerited favor) and supplication. And they will look at Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him as one who weeps bitterly over a firstborn. [John 19:37; Rev 1:7] |
Subject: Was this translated completely? |
Bible Note: I am curently studying the book of Revelation. Rev 1:7 "BEHOLD, HE IS COMING WITH THE CLOUDS, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen." This is a quote from Zech 12:10. The next verse 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." Jesus claims the Title "Alpha and Omega" indicating diety and eternity. Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters of the greek alphabet thus its the first and the last, the beginning and the end etc. One of my commentary references I am using during this study mentioned that in the interlinear Bible in Zech 12:10, the hebrew has between the word Me and the word whom two letters that were not translated into the English. Those two letters are the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet. If it true then it could be indicating in this verse that the one they crucified was God. It would read something like this. They will look upon ME aleph and Tav (the beginning and the end) whom they have pierced. This would be a Old testament reference to Alpha and Omega. It is significant for Messianic prophecy. But I also need to check to see if my sources are acurate. Are these two letters there in the Hebrew but not translated into English? |
