3. The Structure of Individual Sections of Zechariah 187 11 o^a D n a rom m* p*a -oin -IK' nVrisn ^3 Tg'ani -ng?K ]tC Trim -no' D'-isn oaeh 12 •o'jnn' inttoi nvra Train (continuing) m.T DM Concluding formula Ch. 11 1 Open your doors jua 1 ?. .. fire devour cedars Call to lament 2 Vrn cypress for the cedar has fallen with reasons mflp'-riK -icto Vr'yn oaks of Bashan TT o -rcon Ti?' 3 orn n 1 ?'

(3b) visit . .. house of Judah horse. .. battle 4 bow. .. battle 5 D'-QJ vm. . .battle battle [verb] erain horse(-riders) So far there is no difficulty. 1 Verses 3b-5 are from the narrator in the middle of Yahweh-speech, and we note that it is here that we find the distinctive phrases nnn^n ntip and msin CPD (see above), and other important words that have occurred previously, for example 33") and DID. We have already commented upon fojj (v. 4 and 9.8). 1. I have not allowed myself to emend or rearrange the text on the basis of structure, but perhaps it is in order to point out that MT seems more consonant with the writer's method than does Rudolph's rearrangement. See p. 83 n. 1 above. Many older commentators regarded v. 4 as a scribal gloss (e.g. Mitchell, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi and Jonah, p. 289).
188 Structure and the Book ofZechariah It is possible, therefore, to see the hand of an editor here, who wants to elaborate on the word 'visit' in such a way as to relate this whole section to what has gone before. If this is true, did he also want to link in the root "DJ that occurs in v. 7, and forms an inclusio? In any case, we note that v. 6, as it stands, begins a new sub-section. It also picks up motifs from vv. 3b-5. ! Thus we continue: 6 'rraji. .. house of Judah. .. (Joseph) 2'tfVJ (? tf'3in) 7 "raj vm be glad. .. their heart their sons be glad. .. their heart 8 I gather them 9 with their sons they will return It is not clear how we should regard the hiphil(s) of eto* (32^). They do not fit neatly into the subdivisions of the text established by formcritical methods. We must at least leave them aside for the moment. Verses 6-9 continue by repeating the elements of strength/might for the house of Judah, and gradually add new emphases: rejoicing (in heart) and posterity, both traditional ways of signifying God's blessing. Then comes the theme of bringing back those who are scattered, expressed in two ways: 'I will gather them' and 'They will return'. It is not easy to represent this diagrammatically in a convincing way, but the progression is clear and logical. There is no need to delete v. 9 as an interruption, although it is not an elegant verse, and may be due to an editor. (See p. 186 n. 1 above.) There follow, in vv. 10-12, at least two clearly recognizable literary figures: a chiasmus formed by the place names Egypt, Assyria and Gilead + Lebanon; and the second part of an inclusio formed by 'mzH. The chiasmus seems to be overweight at the middle, caused by vlla. Many commentators would delete D^J D'3 rom from 9.4, 2 but it 1. 'House of Judah'; "oa, and just possibly rm> (see above). 2. We have noted two distinctive phrases which occur in 9.3-4 (both referring to Tyre, and close to the beginning of the book) and 10.5, 11. While one might be regarded as mistaken copying, to treat both in this way would be questionable. Those familiar with this section would then see the description of Tyre's silver 'like the mud of the streets' as waiting to be trampled on. The correspondence between Tyre's wealth destroyed in the sea, and the more complete, exodus-like victory of 10.11,
