# 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]])
