These metals were often used in the construction of sacred objects in the temple (<a href="/exodus/25-3.htm">Exodus 25:3</a>). The use of these precious metals signifies the importance and sacredness of the task at hand. Historically, silver and gold were common in the Persian Empire, which ruled over Judah at the time, indicating the resources available for the temple's restoration.<p><b>Make an ornate crown</b><br>The crown represents authority and kingship. In the Old Testament, crowns were typically associated with kings, not priests. This instruction to make a crown for a priest is significant, suggesting a merging of priestly and kingly roles. This foreshadows the coming of Jesus Christ, who is both King and High Priest (<a href="/hebrews/7.htm">Hebrews 7:1-3</a>). The ornate nature of the crown emphasizes the glory and honor due to the one who wears it.<p><b>And set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua son of Jehozadak</b><br>Joshua, the high priest, represents the priestly leadership during the post-exilic period. His role in this vision is symbolic, pointing to the future Messiah. The act of crowning Joshua signifies the unification of the priestly and royal offices, a theme that is fulfilled in Christ, who is both our High Priest and King (<a href="/psalms/110-4.htm">Psalm 110:4</a>, <a href="/zechariah/3-8.htm">Zechariah 3:8</a>).

However unwilling the Jews were to let the Samaritans take part in the good work, they were quite ready to receive contributions from their brethren in the dispersion, and likewise from heathen kings and princes (see <a href="/ezra/6-8.htm">Ezra 6:8</a>, etc.; Ezra 7:15, etc.). <span class="cmt_word">Make crowns.</span> The prophet was to get the crowns made (comp. <a href="/exodus/25.htm">Exodus 25</a>, <span class="accented">passim</span>). The plural may here be used intensively for "a noble crown," as in <a href="/job/31-36.htm">Job 31:36</a>; or it may signify the two metals of which the crown was made, two or more wreaths being intertwined to form it. It is certain that only one crown was to be made, and that that was to be placed on Joshua's head. There is no mention of Zerubbabel in the passage; so the plural cannot be taken to intimate that there was a crown for the high priest and a crown for the princely ruler, as Ewald and Bunsen assert. These critics, followed by Hitzig and Wellhausen, supply the passage thus: "on the head of Zerubbabel and on the head of Joshua." Zerubbabel had no kingly position. Rather, all mention of Zerubbabel is expressly excluded, in order to denote that in the Person of him whom Joshua symbolized, the offices of priest and king were united (<a href="/psalms/110.htm">Psalm 110</a>). We may note that in <a href="/revelation/19-12.htm">Revelation 19:12</a> Christ is said to have on his head many crowns, by which is meant a diadem composed of many circlets. The high priest's mitre is never called a crown. That which was placed on Joshua's head was a royal crown, a token of royal dignity, not his own, but his whom he represented - Christ the eternal Priest, the universal King. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/zechariah/6-11.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Take</span><br /><span class="heb">וְלָקַחְתָּ֥</span> <span class="translit">(wə·lā·qaḥ·tā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb -
