Zechariah 6 General Notes
Structure and formatting
This chapter is written mainly in prose and tells the last vision of the four chariots in the first part of the chapter.
Some translations set poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to show that it is poetry. The ULB does this with the poetic song in 6:12-13.
Special concepts in this chapter
Crown
The second part of the chapter is about a crown made for the high priest. This is an actual person, but the meaning of the word "branch" should be translated as his name. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/highpriest)
Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter
Meaning of the visions
The visions are stated and even when the prophet asked for an explanation, their true meaning is often obscure. This uncertainty should remain in your translation. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet)
