"Behold, k the Man whose name is the l BRANCH!
From His place He shall 2 branch out,
m And He shall build the temple of the LORD; 13 Yes, He shall build the temple of the LORD.
He n shall bear the glory,
And shall sit and rule on His throne;
So o He shall be a priest on His throne,
And the counsel of peace shall be between 3 them both." ' 14 "Now the 4 elaborate crown shall be p for a memorial in the temple of the LORD 5 for Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Hen the son of Zephaniah.
