Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou and thy fellows that sit before thee, his fellow-priests; for they are men wondered at, literally, "men of wonder are they," that is, men about whom one might marvel; for, behold, I will bring forth My Servant, the branch. Cf Jeremiah 23:5; Isaiah 11:1. This Zemach, or Branch, of whom the priests of the Old Testament were but types, is the Servant of Jehovah in a most singular sense, who was to carry out the will of Jehovah concerning the redemption of the world. Cf Isaiah 53.
