This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Hear now; hitherto thou hast been entertained with emblems and hieroglyphics, but now, O Joshua, hear what these mean.
And thy fellows; the other priests, thy associates in the priestly office, though inferior to thee.
That sit before thee; as assessors or coadjutors in a council or assembly; the high priest as president, the other as members of the council sat with him; to let them know what these types mean.
They are men wondered at; the worldly, profane, unbelieving, and ignorant sort of Jews wonder at them, and their hopes; at their labour and expenses in attempting to build such a house, with so little helps to raise such a structure out of rubbish.
I, God the Father, will bring forth a much more wonderful work.
My servant the Branch; Christ, Messiah, the Branch, Isa_4:2 11:1 Jer_33:15.
