4. Connections Between Sections ofZechariah 1-14 267
The former will be destroyed/far away; Yahweh's house will be rebuilt
as a sign of his dwelling in the midst of this people again. The use of
run in 5.11, 6.12-13 and 8.9, would add some support to this. However,
only in the first of these is 'house' used: the others have "?D'n.
Finally the hiphil of ma near the end of the seventh and eighth
visions looks like a deliberate play on words. To cause evil to rest in
its own place far away in the land of Shinar, causes God's Spirit to
rest in the north. This transfer of evil from Jerusalem to Babylon/the
north prepares the way for the exiles in Babylon to return to
Jerusalem (6.9-15). With these references we should probably note
inmn in 9.1. It represents a distinctive idea in a prominent place. The
root occurs nowhere else in Zechariah.
Other words are used so differently that we must consider this part
of the investigation at an end. The only clear links with other sections
of Zechariah are those established between VV2-3 and 6-8 above. 1
